Mark Margolis, who received an Emmy nomination for playing the silent but deadly, bell-ringing cartel boss Hector Salamanca in “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul,” has died. He was 83.

The prolific actor died Thursday at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City after a short illness, his son, actor and Knitting Factory Entertainment CEO Morgan Margolis, told The Hollywood Reporter.

The Post has reached out to Margolis’ reps for comment.

Margolis’ acting career began in the 1950s on the soap opera “Guiding Light,” and he went on to star in supporting roles in “Going in Style” (1979) and “Dressed to Kill” (1980).

As a character actor playing mobsters and baddies, his biggest early role was in 1983’s “Scarface” as mobster Alberto the Shadow opposite Al Pacino’s Tony Montana.
