The actor that gets shot at the assassination


I think hes the same actor that hands the doll to Malcolms daughter. Then after the shooting begins, he gets shot in the leg, caught by the crowd and eventually taken away by the police...
does anyone know who this actor is? I know his face and its driving me mad...

reply

Sure, he's Giancarlo Esposito. EXCELLENT actor!

He played GUS FRING the main antagonist and best villain from BREAKING BAD. Go watch him on that show, he was terrific and is more famous than ever now because of it.

He was in several other Spike Lee movies too.

Oh right! I thought I've seen those evil eyes before! :P

Now we know what Gus Fring was up to before the fried chicken/drug business.

He was in "TAPS" as well.

Don't you also love it that his pants get ripped while he is running away? That killed me.
