The only threatening yet charming antagonist of Better Call Saul is Tony Dalton, who plays Lalo Salamanca. The scene in "Bad Choice Road" shows Lalo visiting Jimmy and Kim's residence while sporting both an exuberant smile and harboring subtle menacing energy. Lalo's villainous qualities derive from his dual ability to charm people and execute destructive actions. Lalo maintains a position of superior intelligence, which enables him to foresee the future moves of other members of the Salamanca cartel. The show's star, Jimmy McGill, matches Lalo Salamanca's intelligence level, and the villain becomes a permanent source of audience anxiety.
