'Better Call Saul' star Patrick Fabian on the evolution of Howard, his soft spot for Rhea Seehorn and what to expect from season 5

In an exclusive interview with Meaww, 'Better Call Saul' actor Patrick Fabian divulges quite a few interesting tidbits about his character, his peers, and how season 5 may play out.

AMC's popular 'Breaking Bad' spinoff, 'Better Call Saul,' finished airing its fourth season this past month and, staying true to form, had all the makings of a classic season of crime drama. Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have managed to do what few others before them achieved: they have kept up the consistently high standards that they set for themselves in 'Breaking Bad' and given BCS a prestige that spinoffs seldom claim. Of course, as it is in these cases, it's not just one particular reason why the series has proved to be so successful but a host of them, one of which is the stellar cast. While the likes of Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Giancarlo Esposito, Mark Margolis and a few more reprised their roles from the original and brought an undeniable gravitas to their role, BCS also developed its own core cast comprising of the likes of Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian, and Michael McKean who became indispensable in their own right.
