In AMC's 'Parish,' actor Giancarlo Esposito drives the story
Giancarlo Esposito calls his newest role "the highlight" of a decades-long career. He's known for playing a drug kingpin on Breaking Bad.
"I'm tired of being the passenger in my own life," narrates Giancarlo Esposito in the first episode of AMC's Parish. It's a sentiment that holds true for the actor as much as it does for Gracian Parish, the title character he plays.
Esposito, the actor best known for playing villainous foils – like drug kingpin Gus Fring in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul – is finally behind the wheel as the hero, or maybe anti-hero, in a series he executive produced.
If you're looking for a show to ease into, Parish probably isn't for you. Within the first three minutes, Gracian "Gray" Parish is already skidding through the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana.
