Which character does Tony Dalton play in Better Call Saul?

Tony Dalton plays Lalo Salamanca in Better Call Saul.

Lalo Salamanca is a charismatic and highly capable member of the Salamanca family. He arrives in Albuquerque to oversee cartel operations after Hector Salamanca’s health deteriorates, and he quickly becomes one of Gus Fring’s most dangerous opponents.

Dalton’s performance contrasts Lalo’s warmth and apparent charm with his ability to investigate, manipulate, and kill. The character’s popularity grew rapidly after his introduction in season four, making Lalo central to the show’s final seasons.

Lalo is sometimes confused with Nacho Varga, played by Michael Mando, or with Hector Salamanca, played by Mark Margolis. Lalo and Hector are relatives, while Nacho is an associate caught between the Salamancas and Gus. Tony Dalton joined an established cast but became one of the series’ most recognizable performers.
