Who did Colin Borden play in Better Call Saul? Character explored as Dhar Mann actor explains strike drama

American actor Colin Borden recently addressed the controversy surrounding Dhar Mann Studios and other actors striking against his studio for being underpaid.

On February 7, 2023, the 37-year-old star took to his Instagram handle to post a series of videos where he stated that a group of actors tried to get in touch with entrepreneur Mann, but the efforts never came to fruition. Moreover, he shared that those who tried to question the studio were instantly fired:

"Not a single actor that works at Dhar Mann Studios can afford rent… the studio has continued to expand for some time… and now there are three sound stages in Burbank but things haven’t really gotten better for us…"

In Dhar Mann's videos, Borden, who also starred in Better Call Saul as Gary Strote, mostly plays heroic characters such as a father or a teacher. He continued, by stating:

"We’ve been talking to a lot of actors, the trouble is there’s a culture at the studio of, 'if you talk, you’re out.' So we decided to come together as a group and talk collectively with our boss Dhar Mann… we learned Saturday there will not be a meeting.”

Colin Borden also hinted that there was "some not great stuff" that was happening at the Dhar Mann Studios but did not reveal details about the same.
