How did Mark Margolis add on to his net worth outside the AMC universe?
Despite his success on AMC, Mark has had a long acting career, and has a number of film and television credits outside of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Notable film roles include Shadow in the 1983 film Scarface, starring Al as the "lovely" Tony Montana.
Mark also had roles in films such as 1994's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and 2015's Abandoned.

Mark's film experience is definitely impressive, but he also found himself making appearances on several television shows before and after his AMC days. His final television role was Carmine Conti in second season of Your Honor, which starred Breaking Bad alum Bryan Cranston.

The actor was not the only Margolis to go into acting, as his son Morgan decided to try his hand in the business as well. However, he did not have anywhere near the amount of acting credits as his father, and after serving tiny roles in films and television shows, he seemingly left the business entirely in 2010.
Mark is survived by his wife Jacqueline, his son Morgan, and his three grandchildren. His final acting performances have already been televised, but his legacy will continue to live on.
