We all know him as Gus Fring from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, however actor Giancarlo Esposito has been working on a secret project beyond the television industry. Speaking to Collider, the actor has revealed that he has been working on a “huge” video game that he can’t talk about.

During a recent interview for Collider’s ‘Connected’ series, the Hollywood veteran let slip on a project he has been working on in the video games industry. Esposito started by discussing his involvement in a game that got him to act in a way he hadn’t experienced before. Collider confirmed in highlights from the interview that the actor was referring to motion capture as this new method of acting, however the actor couldn’t elaborate on the project any more than he had already.

Esposito was provoked into revealing the scarce details when Collider asked him about how The Mandalorian had used developer Epic’s Unreal Engine to film part of the Disney+ series. He ceased this topic of conversation before elaborating on whether this technology was the same tech that was used on the ambiguous video game. The actor moved slightly off the subject by going on to discuss how the pandemic has inspired creative acting styles through Zoom and other video call apps.

Esposito has done some previous game work before when he played The Dentist in the co-op FPS Payday 2 that centers around the heist gang in Washington. The actor provided the voice for the game’s main antagonist as well as doing motion-capture work for the character. The Dentist was reportedly designed to emulate the actor’s character on the hit TV show Breaking Bad. Like Gus Fring, The Dentist appears as an upstanding citizen to hide his ulterior motives while also emulating similar speech patterns to Fring.

The gaming community has already started discussing theories on who the 62-year-old could be playing. Theories that he could be Ra’s al Ghul in the next Batman game have been mentioned as well as hope for his involvement in the Jedi: Fallen Order sequel. Some joked that he was working on a Los Pollos Hermanos boss simulator, inspired by his role on the AMC show, as well as the more realistic rumor that he could be making an appearance in Grand Theft Auto VI.

Whatever work Esposito was involved in seems to be completed, which suggests that his surprise cameo could be unveiled some time this year.
