Explaining that Mike in Better Call Saul is "not much" different from in Breaking Bad, Banks said, "You saw him meet Jimmy, and very soon you will go back further. You will learn more and more about Mike."

Asked if he finds any common ground with Mike, Banks said that there are differences between them.

"You know, I've played some real hard a---s over the course of my life. I've certainly backed down from fights and fled instead of fight. I'm just a guy," he said. "I draw on a lot of things throughout my life. I draw on people that I have known. And I've been broken up pretty good a few times. So I'll just leave it at that. And that's to say, listen, you know what? I ain't so tough. ... I guess it's fair enough to say at my age, I've seen a bit. I've seen a bit. I'll leave it at that."

Better Call Saul airs Mondays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on AMC.
