'American Horror Story: Asylum' Casts 'Breaking Bad' Baddie
by Andy NeuenschwanderEverybody's favorite bell-ringing former drug lord is making his way to "American Horror Story" for the second season!
Fresh off an Emmy nomination for his portrayal of Hector "Tio" Salamanca in "Breaking Bad," Mark Margolis will now be appearing in "American Horror Story: Asylum." Those who have seen "Breaking Bad" are familiar with Margolis as the wheelchair-ridden Hector, who has a past with Gus Fring.
As for Margolis' role in "AHS," that remains a mystery for now. All we have is a name: Sam Goodwin. Doesn't sound like a particularly evil or scary character, does it? Since we're just hearing about this now, it's a good bet that Margolis will have a fairly small role.
And that's a shame, too: Margolis is such a fine actor that he earned an Outstanding Guest Actor nomination for his role as Hector, even though Hector only communicates by ringing a bell and using some very telling facial expressions. Expect him to be a minor but welcome addition to the second season of one of cable's best dramas.
Hopefully they work a bell in there somewhere, too...
