Fans of Apple TV+'s sci-fi drama Pluribus were delighted to spot a secret cameo from Better Call Saul star Tony Dalton in the season finale. The episode, titled La Chica o El Mundo, was released early on Christmas Eve and features Dalton voicing a hive representative who speaks with the character Manousos over the phone.
Dalton, known for his role as Lalo Salamanca in the Breaking Bad prequel, was not credited for the appearance. However, viewers quickly recognised his distinctive voice and took to social media to share their excitement. One Reddit user commented, 'That person on the phone with him was Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton). Howard and Lalo back from their shared grave.'
The cameo is particularly fitting as Patrick Fabian, who played Howard Hamlin in Better Call Saul, provides the voice for Carol Sturka's answering machine in the same episode. Fabian's involvement was also uncredited, but fans were equally thrilled to hear his voice.
Pluribus, created by Breaking Bad's Vince Gilligan, premiered in November and has quickly become one of Apple TV+'s most popular shows. The series follows Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn) as she navigates a world where a hive mind controls most of humanity. In the finale, Carol confronts a terrifying revelation about the hive's plans and returns home armed with a nuclear weapon.
The show has been renewed for a second season, leaving fans hopeful that Dalton and Fabian might make on-screen appearances in future episodes.
