Better Call Saul season 6 video: Jonathan Banks on big Mike scene
To be specific, the main focus here is about Jonathan Banks’ character of Mike, and the huge moment that he had with Nacho’s father. He felt a certain responsibility to tell him the truth about the character’s death, even though he knew that doing it would be difficult.

What’s interesting is thanks Banks himself admits that he initially had some issues with the scene. In the video HERE, he talks about how he struggled to believe that Nacho’s father would have responded in such a nonviolent way to the news being delivered. However, he came around and understood the writing more when he realized how the character’s anger was deposited in a different way: With him telling Mike that he is just another gangster, and that all of them are the same. He likely had time to prepare for the notion that Nacho could be dead, and he didn’t necessarily care about how he found out the news. What matters is that nothing was done in order to save Michael Mando’s character in the end.
We’re going to miss having Banks on TV full-time, at least until he books some other project. Mike is such an underrated character, and beyond that we’ve always appreciated Jonathan for his frankness in discussing the part and finding his character’s motivations.
What do you think we will be seeing from Mike through the remainder of Better Call Saul season 6?
