10 TV gangsters you would love to have a pint with on St. Patrick’s Day

Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito in AMC’s Better Call Saul)

I’m going with the Gus with less blood on his hands and that’s the Better Call Saul version of Gus. At this juncture, the manager at Los Pollos Hermanos is undoubtedly a criminal, but he’s yet to “break as bad” as the one that Walter White meets. He’s still a spring chicken at the drug kingpin game, meaning he could be more approachable on St. Patrick’s Day.

Only expect him to talk about the fast food business though. There’s no chance in Albuquerque that you’re going to get any hint that this guy deals in the chicken bucket drug trade. If you’re lucky enough, however, you could get treated to a home-made meal by the man. He’s shown before that he is a master cook of not just meth, but dinner too.

Tommy Donnelly (Jonathan Tucker in NBC’s The Black Donnellys)

Having a pint with Tommy may be more of a sympathy drink than anything else. Why? The Black Donnellys was only on for a season at NBC (the first season actually didn’t even get to see a full run.) Even so, the stress that Tommy had to go through during that time had to amount to at least three seasons of George dealing with his parents on Seinfeld.

He was a small-time crook that leads his brother’s family, and that comes with some responsibilities. Juggling the lives of three brothers all with their respective issues is no easy task. The oldest is a druggie with a hot temper, the middle is a degenerate gambler and his kid brother Seanny is the one the family’s trying to keep criminally clean.

So considering that you’d be doing Tommy a favor if you’d have a drink with him on St. Patrick’s Day. In return, you’ll get genuine appreciation and at least three Irish fellas willing to defend you in a bar fight.
