"Breaking Bad": Robert Forster on Working in Vince Gilligan's Universe, Approach to "El Camino" [VIDEO]

So we've all got our alarm clocks set for Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul to return for a fifth season with two-part premiere on Sunday, February 23, and Monday, February 24 – ending AMC's "Breaking Bad universe" marathon in the best way possible.

But before we get there, there's still the matter of wrapping up Breaking Bad – which the network will be wrapping up in fine fashion with the final season as well as cable network premiere of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie.

Originally airing on Netflix in October 2019, the film focuses on Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) after the credits rolled on "Felina" and asks an important question: will Jesse be a victim of the past, or carve out a new future?

One of the highlights of El Camino was an appearance from the late Robert Forster (Jackie Brown), returning to his Breaking Bad role of Ed Galbraith aka The Extractor to play a key role in Jesse's plans. In the following look behind the scenes, the Academy Award-nominated actor explains why he considers his Breaking Bad work to be a career stand-out, how he approaches every scene – and shows some genuine joy in Paul's Jesse getting a chance to shine:
