who did gus kill with a box cutter?
gale
the episode marked the final regular performances of actors david costabile and jeremiah bitsui as gale and victor. gilligan considered changing the episode based on audience responses to the third-season finale, "full measure", on whether gale would be killed or not, but ultimately decided against it. during a twist scene in "box cutter", gus slices his loyal henchman victor's throat with a utility knife right before walt and jesse's eyes. esposito said he was concerned about filming the scene "without really hurting my spirit and my soul", and he concentrated so hard that he remained silent and focused during filming, rarely speaking to others on set. the scene was so bloody it made cranston's daughter faint during a screening.
box cutter (breaking bad)
"box cutter" featured the final regular appearances of recurring "breaking bad" actors david costabile and jeremiah bitsui who, respectively, played gale boetticher and victor. stand-up comedian lavell crawford also made his first of several guest appearances in "box cutter" as huell, saul's new bodyguard. gilligan stated that he named the episode "box cutter" mainly because "it just sounded like a cool title", but also because he was concerned that the climax of the episode took so long to build to that, by calling it "box cutter", "perhaps i was thinking on some level, 'we'd better let the audience know that there's something at the end of this.'" although the "breaking bad" staff always intended for gale to be killed, the audience reaction to "full measure" made gilligan and the "breaking bad" writing staff reconsider whether their plans were the best ones. however, gilligan said they instead decided to follow their original plan, saying "at the end of the day, the choice we made for how to press forward was the choice we felt was the most honest, and the one that would best continue the story."
