Lalo & Gus' Showdown Tested Tony Dalton's Multitasking Skills

While pushing Gus Fring around the lab, working the camera, and wielding the gun, Tony Dalton also had to deliver a verbose monologue full of not only Lalo Salamanca's usual charming wit, but incredibly specific details describing the lab. Dalton noted that some of his lines detailed very specific specifications of what was in the lab. Executing a dramatic monologue well is hard enough, but memorizing the exact specifications of an entirely fictional location is arguably almost more impressive.

Even then, the writers apparently felt that Dalton still didn't have enough to juggle mentally and physically throughout the scene, so they threw him one last curveball. "I had to switch from English to Spanish the whole time," the actor said, "And then turn my camera to myself and go, 'Hey yeah, wasn't that cool?' And then go back to him and kick him." 

Of course, the consummate professional that he is, Dalton perfectly managed the many different aspects of the scene simultaneously and gave a memorable final performance. "That was a little complicated," he admitted. "But it was fun."
