Better Call Saul Season 6 Part 2 will introduce a new actor playing the cab driver, Jeff, after Don Harvey leaves the role.
Station 19’s Pat Healy joins Better Call Saul Season 6 Part 2, and fans have already seen him in a new teaser. In the series, he will play the key role of the overeager cab driver Jeff.
Pat Healy joins Better Call Saul Season 6 Part 2
TVLine confirmed the recast, with Healy coming to the series. In fact, he was already seen in the new teaser that debuted over the holiday weekend.
He’s the cab driver who recognized Gene in the fifth season flash-forward. Jeff is only seen in the “Gene-in-Omaha” flash-forwards following the events of Jimmy’s (Bob Odenkirk) life after Breaking Bad.
Jeff was first seen as the driver of Gene’s cab in the fourth season, followed by the run-in in the fifth season.

Harvey played the role in those two scenes, but his recent appearance in the HBO drama We Own This City made him unable to return to playing Jeff’s character in Better Call Saul Season 6 Part 2 due to “contract obligations.”
Hence, Healy enters the scene.
Will Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul Appear in Better Call Saul Season 6 Part 2?
As Better Call Saul Season 6 Part 2 begins the end of the prequel series, will the Breaking Bad original characters, Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston, finally make an appearance?
The show only has six episodes left, and it was earlier revealed that these two would be once again seen as Walter and Jesse.
Sure, the news excites fans even more, but it remains to be seen when they will exactly show up.
The Mirror noted that as Better Call Saul happened before the events of Breaking Bad, fans may see Walter as a teacher again, and Jesse is one of his students.

It’s also possible that there will be a flash-forward scene, like Walter’s flashback cameo in El Camino.
However, co-showrunner Peter Gould hinted that fans would see them in a very unexpected way.
"You're going to see Walt and Jesse this season, but I think the way you see them and when you see them won't necessarily be what you'd expect,” he told Entertainment Weekly. "The thing that I'm really proud of is that we waited to see them until it was right for this story.”
He then teased the way they would appear.

“I think the way that they do appear is all about the story of Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) and Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks),” he said. “I hope you agree when you see it."
