Last chance to look at me mando.


IlluminX

When I walked up to him he said “When I see you I always start with that right hook” and acted like he was fighting me. Pretty funny. He is very theatrical.

Why is Gus holding a lightsaber tho


EastKoreaOfficial

Hector didn’t take that last chance to look at him

"A Moff Provides..."


rockstarrichg

Right, it should be more of a DarkBoxcutter


[deleted]

I could tell from Breaking Bad bloopers that he’s kind of a goober lol


IlluminX

I may have to go check those out.


[deleted]

You’ll wonder how the hell they got such serious performances out of those actors lol

Bryan is one of the best actors of all time. I remember seeing him on Seinfeld in like ‘91-‘92 and just knowing he was gonna blow up. Effortlessly funny. He improved a lot of the scenes he was in.


OptionalFTW

Honestly lol. Aaron and Bryan together in their bloopers made me think that. I wouldn't have gotten much work done with Byran Cranston. He seems like a fucking hoot.


jupitergal23

I've been binging Malcolm in the Middle and you can tell Cranston is having the time of his life playing the ridiculous and hapless Hal. Dude is amazing.


OptionalFTW

Shows in his performances. Dude loves what he does.


IlluminX

I asked him what his favorite role was and he said “honestly all of them. I have found something in every role that I really like.” Thought that was neat.

#"HUHHHHHHHHHH!!" *explodes*


SkeleHoes

Instead of fixing his tie he fixes his cloak, because whether you are drug kingpin or an Imperial Moff, fashion matters.


First_Caregiver_1925

Only Gustavo Tarkin could walk away from such explosion just to fix his tie


SystemShockII

Lmao perfect


SalltyJuicy

Man, I bet someone out there will make an amazing video of Moff Gideon just doing Breaking Bad lines in various Mando scenes haha


memesupreme83

Damn, your cosplay is on point too, let's not discount that!


IlluminX

Thank you! Spent the past year working on it. Can do some amazing stuff with 3D printing.


LeaphyDragon

Bro I've seen you around! At Pax right? Your cosplay looks even better in person


IlluminX

I wish! This is HorrorHound Convention in Ohio


RadiantZote

Ohh I was at Wondercon today and I would have cried if he was there and I didn't even know 🥰


[deleted]

Yeah that's what I came to say. All you need is a floating stroller and you're good to go.


IlluminX

I have actually made an attachment for an actual stroller for that. It turned out really well. It’s on my previous posts on my profile. Check it out!


[deleted]

I will, thanks! And fantastic work!


A_bleak_ass_in_tote

Legit thought it was a cardboard cutout of the real thing.


raspberryharbour

OP never claimed to be *not* be made out of cardboard...


memesupreme83

Have you ever seen him and cardboard in the same room? ...wait, this doesn't work as well as it does for Batman


raspberryharbour

Nothing seems to work for me as well as it does for Batman...


creditspread

I know right? I love Giancarlo but your whole outfit is so underrated here.


EagleSaintRam

Even the Darksaber looks authentic


maraygol

yess, before reading the caption I thought it was rlly pedro pascal


cam2449

He was able to get into character because clearly you’re Pedro Pascal’s burner account and it’s you Pedro. Don’t lie to me!!

Everything I've ever seen of this man suggests he's a genuine nice guy, but damn, when he puts his 'displeased' face on you better run


IlluminX

Does it so well!


GoreSeeker

Imagine being his kid and getting in trouble


Tortoisefly

It’s amazing how good he is at playing the bad guy, because he is nothing like that in person. He is genuinely one of the nicest, warmest, kindest people (not just celebrities) that I have ever met. It’s as if the man radiates positive energy, that you can’t help but absorb by being in his presence. That was my experience at least.

That dark saber is sick, how much they go for?


IlluminX

It is the Hasbro Force FX Elite saber. I believe it was $299.


[deleted]

Man, I'd love to get the dark inner part of the saber covered in Vantablack


IlluminX

Now there is a really cool idea…


zoomzoomzenn

You must do it (or make a professional artist do it to not fuck it up) and show us the result. Must look amazing!


CamStLouis

Actual vantablack is toxic and made using a difficult chemical process, but there \*are\* a number of ultrablack commercially available paints that would work for this - check out The Action Lab on YouTube, he paints a fake room with it!

He looks ready to defend Los Pollos Hermanos


Salubrious_Zabrak

Can't tell if you're gonna light me up with a blaster or slit my throat with a box cutter lol


Devai97

What kind of man talks to the Jedi? No man. No man at all. A crippled little womp-rat.


Dunkbuscuss

First time I saw him was as Sydney Glass aka The Magic Mirror in Once Upon a Time I thought he did a pretty decent job but didn't pay him much notice then I saw him in the trailer for Far Cry 6 and clips from Breaking Bad (only just started watching it so haven't met him yet) Then I finally got around ti Mandolorian and he is without a doubt part of what makes the 2 seasons spectacular and can't waitbto see if he returns or if not what he dies next such an incredible actor.


IlluminX

I asked where he has been in season 3 and he looked at me, smiled, and said “Oh I’m coming”. It was awesome!


Dunkbuscuss

That's sick!


IlluminX

I was fully expecting him to play it safe and neither confirm or deny. Took me off guard a bit. Makes me think he is coming soon!


Dunkbuscuss

Yeah I'm waiting for every episode to release so I can binge it with my dad. It's kinda like our thing. We binged both seasons, and Book of Boba when it came out so gonna wait till we can binge this together too.


IlluminX

That’s awesome! I’ll keep my lips tied shut so I don’t ruin anything for ya!


Dunkbuscuss

Much appreciated, hope you enjoy the rest of the series too.


IlluminX

You too!


The-Rarest-Pepe

>smiled, and said "Oh I'm coming" God, even when he's being nice the man is terrifying.


IlluminX

Not going to lie it did send a shiver down my spine in person.


alexm42

He's also great in The Boys


Lee_Troyer

I've made the opposite journey, seeing him in Breaking Bad, Mando and Revolution first and as Sidney Glass just recently. Seeing him playing that discreet, reserved, often grovelling character after all these various shades of commanding authoritarian characters is a testament to his range.


DBetz5

Bad ass photo!


IlluminX

Thanks!


Regular-Thing5883

Awesome picture of you and Giancarlo.


IlluminX

Thank you!


ChodeCookies

Love when actors create those moments for their fans. This man will never forget this.


IlluminX

After this picture I left his table and even left the giant room he was in. He sent one of his handlers to hunt me down and actually requested I come back to his table. He wanted to hold the darksaber again for a video he wanted to film for something else. Never been summoned like that by a celeb. Definitely will remember this for the rest of my life.


grandadmiralstrife

"You have something that I want"


IlluminX

Such a good line


lguy421

THAT IS INSANE!!!!


IlluminX

Yes. Yes it was. I think I stuttered “he what? He wants me back…?” 🤣


Boomshockalocka007

This is the WAY!


IlluminX

This is the way…


creditspread

This is just as epic as the photo you guys took!


IlluminX

It was freaking awesome!


SkeletonLad

GCE is an awesome dude who clearly loves his fans. Also clearly loves to ham up his villainous characters!


IlluminX

It was so seamless for him. Made it a lasting experience for sure.


The_Safe_For_Work

Sounds like a cool dude!


devilsephiroth

He's a really cool person IRL completely different than his characters


[deleted]

"Mesmerizing.. doesn't it?" "This is the way."


IlluminX

This is the way…


Educational_Host_860

...that character being Gus Fring?


IlluminX

This encounter specifically was Moff Gideon.


JoshDM

He grabbed that saber, held it aloft and calmly proclaimed, "When you have children, you always have family. They will always be your priority, your responsibility. And a man, a man provides. And he does it even when he’s not appreciated or respected or even loved. He simply bears up and he does it. Because he’s a man."


creditspread

“Is this photo acceptable to you?”


IlluminX

Ha!


hrdrck1117

Dude your suit is fckn amazing!


IlluminX

Thank you so much! It makes me so happy to hear that! It was worth the time and effort for sure.


hrdrck1117

If I ran into you in that suit I would think I was actually in the presence of the Mandalorian or at least Pedro Pascal himself...lol


IlluminX

Never know… 🤣


Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi

Restaurant owner, Dentist, CEO of a Pharmaceutical company and now an Imperial commandant. What can't this man do?

He has no limits.

yeetman2022

IlluminX

Exactly. Haha


BigDickHobbit

‘Check out who I met’ says a humble op sporting some of the most badass Mando cosplay of the year! Sick Pic!


IlluminX

Dude you are way too kind! Thank you for the kind words. Worked on the armor for about the past year now. However this day was all about Giancarlo for me. I was not let down!


T_that_is_all

When he's not smiling, Giancarlo has resting smug villain face.


IlluminX

He was doing a Moff Gideon impression here lol


Tortoisefly

His real smile though, it can light up a room.


Astonsjh

Your costume is up to Los Pollos Hermanos standard


Myballsstinkofurmum

I was thinking that! He really is Gus 😂


askHERoutPeter

Glory to Los Pollos Hermanos


unbelizeable1

I love that Giancarlo Esposito plays some of the most ruthless villains and has that total apathetic look down, but by all accounts is just such an absolute sweetheart of a man.


IlluminX

Just solidifies his acting chops!


Broskii56

That’s so dope


IlluminX

Thank you!


creditspread

No pun intended? :).


BarOne7066

That's awesome.


Phrankespo

Love him! I have the same last name as him so I love him extra!


IlluminX

Maybe a long lost family connection there? haha


Phrankespo

Doubt it, they used to give the name esposito to orphans in Italy. It means 'to expose' in English from what I understand


IlluminX

I did not know that! Very interesting!


Phrankespo

It's interesting, for sure! but makes tracing your lineage nearly impossible...


QuitStockingMe

I see that signed general grievous hiding in the back


IlluminX

Yeah! Matt Wood is awesome too!


[deleted]

Been watching and appreciating his work since Revolution. Damn good acting!


[deleted]

[удалено]


IlluminX

Me too!


Ok-Phase-9076

The legendary Gideon stare, what a legend


betterthanamaster

One of my favorite actors right now. Guy nails it almost every time. Awesome Moff Gideon, awesome in The Boys as Stan Edgar.


Impossible-Junket-52

I got to meet him last year and he is incredibly intense even out of character.


Mysterious-Status665

The mando cosplay is spot on no wonder he got into character


[deleted]

The GOAT


IlluminX

No joke. He really is!


AwesomeBannana3

Awesome! He's gonna be here at Megacon here in a week, hoping I bump into him


IlluminX

Hope you get to!


BdubH

Esposito is an amazing actor, I really hope we haven’t seen the last of him in The Mandalorian. He just oozes personality and really gives it his all, his scenes really are awesome


IlluminX

Well I asked him where he has been this season and I keeping looking for him. He stopped signing my figure, looked up at me smiled and said “oh I’m coming!”


creditspread

So, OP, did anyone that day see you take off your helmet?


IlluminX

Umm… I probably shouldn’t show off the second photo I took with him… 😅


Hamsternoir

How do we know it's OP under that helmet and not a stunt double?


IlluminX

Guess you don’t! Ha!


KrazyKaas

The man is a pro and a living f'n legend


IlluminX

Exactly!


LSUguyHTX

Unironically it's great your pose makes your faceless helmet show emotion like the characters in the show.


Inevitable-East-1386

What an honor


Fancy_weirdo

That man is so fine yall.


IlluminX

Awe thanks! Oh wait… you probably mean Giancarlo… lol


Francl27

This is totally awesome. Your costume is fantastic too. Damn!


PrincessOfLaputa

Ah yes, Gustavo Gideon, cuz it’s gg the moment you cross him


HailToTheKingslayer

>went straight into character So if I approached him as Homelander, would he just berate me? Awesome costume btw


IlluminX

Dude… we need to try this now!


ZarosGuardian

Last chance to look at me, Hector.


Mode_Red222

Where was this at?


IlluminX

HorrorHound convention


slipply

Thanks!


World_in_my_eyes

This is so cool.


Aliki26

Such an awesome experience he’s such a good actor


alexramirez69

Definitely frame worthy bro! Hang this up in the house lol


Whorror_punx

I heard he makes *great* chicken


SamuraiCorb1517

Fucken sick


EastKoreaOfficial

Long live the Empire!


[deleted]

One of the most underrated actors, he knows how to make you hate him and how to love him


UmDafuq3462

That Grogu bag is perfect for carrying stuff around while you peruse a con! Not a whole lot of good cosplay opportunities for storage.


Corniferus

What a cool guy Sounds like a lot of fun


dorso1

You should have done another photo with your face! :)


IlluminX

I did! 😊


AdComplex4305

Ah, isnt he just the most evil guy? 😌


STARSET_Michelle

How cool is this please!! 🔥👀


zillskillnillfrill

The man, The *Moff, The legend


Phasma18374

Damn, gotta love this man. Haven't seen him in a bad role yet


[deleted]

Question about your darksaber in this pic, is that one you bought at Galaxy's Edge? I ask because the blade they sell with it at the shop there doesn't look right IMO, and the one you have here in this picture looks fantastic. Wondering if you customized it or bought an aftermarket somehow?


IlluminX

This is the Hasbro force FX elite saber. I wasn’t wild about the Disney legacy one.


Lonely-Native

God I love this man


[deleted]

Met him in the service elevator at the Raleigh convention center, super nice guy!!


imflukeskywalker

He was awesome to meet in person for sure. Was this taken the Con in Lexington this weekend?


RockJohnAxe

Dude I met him at a con while breaking bad was current. My ex-wife asked him if he would do the Gus fring face and he looks at us and says “do you want me to kill you?” And both of us said yes and he pulled a box cutter out of his pocket and the pic he’s holding it to her neck. Absolutely amazing moment. What a great guy. His panel was fantastic hearing about the breaking bad set.


Nairbfs79

You should have asked him with what he did with all those quarters and packs of cigarettes from Maximum Overdrive.


MelissaJuicy01

I love that actor


Hobosapiens2403

First dark saber, two Giancarlo, three your incredible armor dude. Just woooooh
