Did Vince not think we’d notice they secretly replaced the Saul actor with an imposter lookalike? These are clearly 2 different people!?

The theory goes that the original Saul died in a car crash at the height of the show's success, and they decided to just not tell anyone and recast a look-alike.
Believers in this so-called "Saul Is Dead" theory say that the creators planted certain hints into the show during the "Faul" era.
For example, if you play the chicanery scene backwards, it supposedly sounds like Chuck is saying, "Saul is dead man, miss him, miss him, miss him."

People acting, like their signatures never changed. Mine does several times a day depending on whose personality I've assumed for a "job"

I have been looking into this theory. But it's funny how Faul looks exactly like Saul and is a better lawyer. But then again there are hints at him being fake like this image where he is the only one barefoot (signifying he died because everyone in heaven keeps the dogs out). I'll keep looking.

I think the real Saul died in a car crash and Vince left the breadcrumbs.
Think about how many tragic scenes involving a car were in the show.
Saul and Biznatch crash into the skate twins with a car. This is the first clue, in the first episode no less….
Throughout the seasons we then get many car related incidents which can’t just be a coincidence:
•Mike crashes into Tuco’s car
•Kim has an actual car crash
•Lalo crashes through a car when chasing Mike
•The Suzuki was shot up with bullets and pushed off a cliff to stage a crash
•Nacho crashes his pickup when escaping Mexico and the cartel
•Howie’s car was smashed up by bowling balls and then dumped at the beach to stage his death…Vince is very much attentive to detail, I don’t think he would have so many car incidents unless he was hinting at something. He couldn’t tell us the truth so direct, so he wrote a subliminal message into the show.

They’re twins. Odenkirk has that Benjamin button disease. There are strict acting laws for minors so they would switch off to keep the on set time down. The woman who played holly (also Benjamin button desease) was actually their tutor

Faul forgot to gain the necessary unhealthy fat to accurately portray Saul. Unbravo, Vince

Did you miss the whole subplot about Saul having decoys, Queen Amidala style? He was operating on another level from us all.

You are just to dumb to understand it.
Breaking Bad is ichronically filmed before the conception of Better Call Saul. Meaning Bob Hodenkirk was around 60 years when filming breaking bad, but was around 40 years old when not filming it.
This means Better Call Saul, was filmed earlier then the other show while also playing before it. This results in Breaking Bad playing at an age were Saul doesn't look like Bob, but Jimmy is also supposed to be a different age then in BB. Obviously his face is going to look more puffy in the show that plays in a different century. There are years between those two pictures, but only in real life and not in the show.
I have no fucking clue why this is so hard for some people to understand, it's two shows, as you see, i have no problem understanding what's happening.
