It took more than 20 years for Patrick Fabian to land his first series-regular role on a show with staying power. He could've done much worse than jumping aboard the spinoff of arguably the greatest show in television history.
Fabian has spent six seasons playing Howard Hamlin on AMC's "Better Call Saul," the "Breaking Bad" spinoff that has been slowly revealing the backstory of slick-talking lawyer Saul Goodman since it premiered in early 2015. Fabian's Howard is a respected attorney who often ends up at odds with Saul (Bob Odenkirk) and his shady schemes.
"Better Call Saul" returns Monday for the first seven-episode run of its final season. The last six episodes will begin airing on July 11 following a short hiatus. As somebody who considers the fact he's still getting steady work to be "like a 30-year overnight success story," Fabian was always prepared for his time in the "Breaking Bad"-verse to eventually run out.
