It’s not often that an actor of Giancarlo Esposito’s caliber toe-dips into the world of video games, but The Mandalorian and Breaking Bad star is doing just that in Far Cry 6.
Esposito plays Far Cry 6’s central antagonist Antón Castillo, a ruthless dictator of the fictional country of Yara. So he’s who you’ll be facing off against and (hopefully) dethroning before Far Cry 6’s curtain call. Before all that, though, Esposito took some time to address fan questions — some as himself and others in-character as Castillo. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Far Cry, Star Wars, or Breaking Bad fan; this is a treat to see.
Check out Castillo’s, ahem, Esposito’s interview for yourself below.
Several of these Far Cry 6 promotional videos came out this week, and Esposito seems to be having a ball with the bit. I mean, how can you not have fun watching him deconstruct guerilla weaponry? Or where he explains why you are his most challenging foe yet, Walter White be damned.
I know a thing or two about villains, and I think you’re REALLY going to like this one. Antón and I look forward to facing you all in @FarCryGame October 7th!! Are you ready? #FarCry6. pic.twitter.com/LGs1J528hp

Esposito is known for playing villains, so there’s no doubt that Castillo will likely be another memorable baddie in the actor’s repertoire. We will find out for sure when Far Cry 6 comes out on Oct. 7.
