Q: Are there any moments you wish you could go back and, not change, but add in?

A - Vince Gilligan: “One that kills me that I really wish I could fix. Not one of my writers, myself included, are Spanish speakers which in general we made do and had a lot of help with expert translators and quite a few of our actors spoke fluent Spanish. But in a scene we wrote, the character in the wheelchair - Hector ‘Tio’ Salamanca - we refer to him in one scene as Don Salamanca. The proper usage is ‘don’ goes with the first name, not the last name so it should have been Don Hector. In real life, Giancarlo Esposito doesn’t speak a word of Spanish - he was doing it phonetically - so he was referring to the character as Don Salamanca when it should have been Don Hector. It bothers me. I wish I could wave a magic wand and fix it.”
