Bob Odenkirk, the star of spin-off series “Better Call Saul,” called Margolis a “powerful screen presence.”
An official “Breaking Bad” social media account praised “the immensely talented Mark Margolis, who—with his eyes, a bell, and very few words—turned Hector Salamanca into one of the most unforgettable characters in the history of television.” In the show, Margolis’s character—the patriarch of the drug-smuggling Salamanca family, who suffers a stroke after being poisoned by a rival—is only able to communicate by tapping a bell with his finger.He forged a successful career as a character actor, with supporting roles in films such as “Scarface,” “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” and “Black Swan,” as well as HBO series “Oz.”He is survived by Jacqueline, his wife of 61 years, as well as their only child Morgan and their three grandsons.
