Breaking Bad's Giancarlo Esposito Is Headed To Community For A Guest Spot

While Giancarlo Esposito’s list of credits is already fairly extensive, playing a badass in one of the best and most badass series on television certainly doesn’t hurt in getting people’s attention. So it’s not all that surprising to see Esposito grab one role after another following his stint on AMC’s Breaking Bad.

Following his recurring role as the scary, occasional ally but more-often opposition to Bryan Cranston’s Walter White on Breaking Bad, Esposito has appeared in numerous episodes of ABC’s new drama Once Upon a Time. He’s also set to appear in Rob Cohen’s film Alex Cross, and IMDB currently has him listed to star in a thriller called Adele. But before that, it looks like we’ll be seeing him at the best community college on television. I’m, of course, referring to Greendale Community, of NBC’s excellent, and unfortunately currently-hiatus’ed Community.

Minor Community spoilers ahead!

According to Vulture, Esposito is set to appear in an upcoming episode of Community, playing a business associate of Cornelius Hawthorne (Pierce’s late father). Vulture doesn’t have any more details beyond that, but the site speculates that the character’s associations with Pierce’s father may hint that he’s not exactly the nicest guy. Assuming that’s the case, and his character proves to be the cranky type (or perhaps the scary-quiet type), it certainly won’t be new territory for Esposito. Will he be facing off against Pierce?
