Actor Mark Margolis died on Thursday at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City following a short illness, according to a statement from his son, Morgan Margolis. He was 83 years old.
Margolis had a breakout role as a mobster in the 1983 film "Scarface."
However, he was perhaps best known for his portrayal of "Hector Salamanca," on the series "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul."
Salamanca was a ruthless, elderly gang leader who could not speak or walk, and communicated via menacing facial expressions and by ringing a bell attached to his wheelchair.
'Unforgettable' performance as Salamanca
On the X social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Breaking Bad said Margolis turned Salamanca into one of television's "most unforgettable" characters.
Breaking Bad co-star Brian Cranston shared his condolences on Instagram, calling Margolis, "fun and engaging off the set ... and intimidating and frightening on set."
"His quiet energy belied his mischievous nature and curious mind," Cranston wrote.
Peter Gould, a writer and producer of Breaking Bad, said Margolis was "brilliant, funny, a raconteur with a million stories."
Margolis was born in the east coast US city of Philadelphia in 1939.
He studied acting in New York City with noted teacher Stella Adler, and focused on the stage in his early career.
Margolis appeared in dozens of shows both on and off-Broadway, including at the Public Theater in New York.
His roles on the big screen include around 70 movies, most recently Matthew Coppola's 2022 film "Broken Soldier" with Sophie Turner and the late Ray Liotta.
He also appeared in several critically acclaimed films by director Darren Aronofsky, including "Pi" and "Requiem for a Dream."
Margolis is survived by his wife of 61 years, Jacqueline Margolis, and his son Morgan. The family plans to have a private memorial and funeral.
In 2012, Margolis was nominated for an Emmy for outstanding guest actor for his role as Salamanca.

Game of Thrones Movie Reportedly in Early Development
A Game of Thrones movie is reportedly in the works.
Warner Bros is in the early stages of developing a Game of Thrones movie, potentially bringing George R.R. Martin's sprawling fantasy world to the big screen for the first time, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project is in the very early stages of development at Warner Bros, with no cast, director, or writers attached at this point.
It also hasn't been confirmed whether the film will be a direct continuation of the hit HBO series, which concluded in 2019 after eight seasons, or an entirely new spin-off set in the world of Westeros.
Earlier this year, Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss revealed that they originally wanted to conclude the mammoth fantasy show with a trilogy of movies instead of spreading the final 13 episodes across two seasons.
HBO’s then-owners, AT&T, also asked the pair if Game of Thrones could be shot vertically so it could be watched on phones, and discussed the idea of "snackable" mini-episodes.
"Dysfunction kills more projects than anything else, whether it’s interpersonal dysfunction or institutional dysfunction," Weiss said about the behind-the-scenes clashes.
Benioff added: "When you sign a five-year deal with a company, you want that company to be stable so you can be left alone to do your work and not have to worry about it being bought by the phone company. Finding the smoothest ride in the ocean was key."
The Game of Thrones universe has already been expanded onscreen with the prequel series House of the Dragon, which has aired two seasons and has been renewed for a third.
Prequel show Ten Thousand Ships is also being revived with a new creative team after previously being shelved by HBO, while another spin-off, titled The Hedge Knight, is also in the works.
Game of Thrones seasons: 1-8 are available on DVD and Blu-ray. House of the Dragon airs on HBO and Max in the US, and on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK.
