Bob Odenkirk has offered further hints about the Breaking Bad spinoff.
Better Call Saul will be based around Odenkirk's lawyer character Saul Goodman, and is being written by Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould.
Odenkirk recently told Yahoo that he would like the series to delve deeper into Saul Goodman's acumen as an attorney.
"Part of the paradox of Saul Goodman and one of the things that made him fun [is that he's a good lawyer], even right back in that first episode," he said. "He looks like a clown. Frankly, I've been hanging around in courtrooms lately [for research], and it's not as broad as I thought originally."
The actor continued: "He dresses in a ridiculous way, he's got billboards, he's got ridiculous ads, but he is a shrewd customer.
"If you listen, most of his advice to Walt over the years in the show was really good advice. If Walt had listened to Saul a little bit more, I think the show would have gone very differently and probably would not have been as exciting."
What to Read Next
Odenkirk previously stressed that Better Call Saul will be "something new", rather than simply a continuation of Breaking Bad.
Better Call Saul is expected to air next year on AMC in the US.
