Prepare for your mind to be blown: the silent assassin twins Leonel and Marco Salamanca on “Breaking Bad” weren’t played by twins. Indeed, although Luis and Daniel Moncada are brothers, the former is actually three years older! And that’s not where the differences end, either.
Whereas Daniel has been a free man for his whole life, Luis was once sentenced to 21 years in jail for his involvement in a vehicle theft. The Honduran native, who, alongside his sibling, also reprised his villainous role in the spinoff “Better Call Saul,” used to be a member of a gang, too. But thankfully, he eventually got on the straight and narrow on his release from prison and with the help of Suspect Entertainment, a talent agency that helps turn around the lives of ex-cons.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Luis said, “I tell my wife all the time, ‘Wow, look at how far we’ve come.’ I’m not thankful I went to prison, but after going to prison, that’s when you really, really, really think, ‘Wow, what a waste of time.’ I had to change.”
