Chapter 1: How Did Luis Moncada Transition from Prison to Hollywood?
Chapter 2: What Was It Like to Be Part of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul?
100%. I'm blessed and honored, my friend. I was part of the biggest show ever, Breaking Bad, right? Yeah. And then four years later to be part of Better Call Saul, it's a blessing. Yeah. It's a blessing. And it's rare to have not only one show, but two hit shows. Two.
To tell you the truth, I was scared when they announced that they were going to film Better Call Saul because you know how I said Breaking Bad ended perfect. Yeah. Top rated show ever. It was the greatest show ever. People consider it, most people. And I was happy. I'm great. I was proud of it. And they announced Better Call Saul and I'm thinking, oh no.
You know how they make that prequel or sequel and it ruins the show. Never goes well. I was nervous. It never goes well. I can't think of one time where the sequel was as good or better. Yeah, no.
And I saw the first few episodes and I'm thinking, okay, this is great. You know, and even happier when they... I did not work first season. I worked on second season of Better Call Saul. And I was just... so happy, really called me, included me. It ended up being better for me as an actor than Breaking Bad because they gave me more episodes, more love, they gave me more screen time.
It was just great. And I knew half of the crew was the same crew from Breaking Bad. So when I went to film in New Mexico, I felt like I was going home. I was going to see all my family. Oh, it takes me 20 minutes before I get to set because I have to say hi to everybody. They're all my friends, good people. How close were you with the cast off camera?
I'm really close to some and some kind of like, you know, we don't talk like, uh, I don't talk to Brian, but every time I see him, it's, he's a gentleman. He's a busy man. Aaron is the same. I've done a couple of things with Aaron. I, after Breaking Bad, we did like a giveaway. I made up his house, did a thing, but we don't stay in touch like that. Now with Dean, I'm closer with Dean.
I was really close to Mark Margolis. Uh, Tuco, Redman Cruz. I did the video game with him and I worked with him before. But yeah, with him, I'm closer. And then good friends. RJ, he's a good friend. Max Arciana, Crazy 8. Victor, the guy that played Victor. Those guys, you know, I kept in touch with a lot of people. And behind the, you know, behind the camera, I have more friends, I think.
I love it. You know, the producers and just... You know, PAs, DAs, assistant directors. I met so many good people like that. And I've stayed in touch with a lot of them. Even the transportation. Really? They're good friends. Good friends. They're good people, bro. Yeah. That's how you know it's a good show when you're still talking years later.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. We've stayed in touch with all of them. Get texts from them. Hey, man, when you come, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, they come. Hey, we're here. Yeah. Great people, man. It was just a blessing. That show was really a blessing. At the same time, it kind of occurs to me in the acting world, a lot of people don't see me beyond Breaking Bad.

Chapter 5: How Has Twitch Changed Luis Moncada's Life?
How did we grow up so messed up the way we are? Tuco, man, part of the cartel was Tuco, Lalo, Tio Hector, myself. How did Gus get involved in the cartel? Because Gus is a complete different, you know, he could actually be a real businessman for the Pollos Hermanos chain, right? He could have succeeded doing good, but he chose to go on the cartel route and start doing bad stuff. 100%.
