As a huge TV fan, I always hear this crime drama talked about as one of the greatest, and honestly, I think a big part of that is the villain. Gus Fring, played by Esposito, was just incredible. He was in so many of the show’s most powerful moments, and his sheer presence really drove the plot and made Walter White’s journey as a character so compelling. He’s a huge reason why the show is so iconic.

Lisa Rinna, famous for her roles in shows like Days of Our Lives and Melrose Place, appears as Valentina in Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., but her portrayal is quite different from the one played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Rinna’s version of the character is more inspired by the earlier comic books, emphasizing a classic, alluring ‘femme fatale’ style. In addition to being a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, her character also has a romantic connection with Nick Fury, and remains a hero throughout the story.
Guillermo del Toro’s newest film is a bold reimagining of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, unlike any previous movie version.

Initially engaged to Victor’s brother, she quickly asserts herself and refuses to be ignored.
