Charles Lindbergh McGill is a fictional character and one of the main antagonists of the crime drama television series Better Call Saul, a spin-off prequel to Breaking Bad. He is portrayed by Michael McKean and was created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould. Chuck was born in Cicero, Illinois, in the United States and is the eldest son of Ruth and Charles McGill Sr. He is the older brother of the titular character Jimmy McGill. Chuck is a successful attorney who runs a major law firm, Hamlin, Hamlin, & McGill (HHM), with business partner and friend Howard Hamlin. However, at the time the series begins, Chuck has become a recluse, believing that he has electromagnetic hypersensitivity. He was amicably divorced from Rebecca Bois, who is unaware of his psychosomatic illness, a few years before the events of Better Call Saul. Although in the first season Chuck acts supportive of Jimmy, he in fact greatly resents his younger brother because of his charismatic personality and his past as a conman. From the second season onward, Chuck begins openly feuding with Jimmy and ultimately becomes his nemesis. His betrayal of and opposition to Jimmy and his subsequent death serve as a catalyst for Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman. Chuck's influence also deeply affects Howard Hamlin and Kim Wexler. Chuck's character development and McKean's performance throughout the first three seasons received critical acclaim, with many critics arguing that McKean gave the best performance on television in 2017.
