'''Charles Lindbergh''' "'''Chuck'''" '''McGill Jr.''' is a fictional character and one of the main [[antagonists]] in the [[crime drama]] television series ''[[Better Call Saul]]'', a [[Spin-off (media)|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|Cicero]], [[Illinois]], United States and is the elder son of Ruth and Charles McGill Sr. He is the older brother of fellow lawyer and titular character [[Saul Goodman|Jimmy McGill ("Saul Goodman")]]. Chuck is a successful attorney who runs his own law firm, Hamlin, Hamlin, & McGill (HHM), with business partner and friend [[Howard Hamlin]]. Chuck is semi-reclusive and believes that he suffers from [[electromagnetic hypersensitivity]]. He was amicably divorced from [[Rebecca Bois]], who was unaware of his EHS, a few years before the events of ''Better Call Saul''.
 
Although in the first season it seemed that he was initially supportive of Jimmy, Chuck harbored resentful feelings toward him because of his conman past and charisma, in addition to Jimmy's approach to his career. From the second season onward, Chuck transforms into Jimmy's 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]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nemetz |first=Dave |date=May 31, 2018 |title=Better Call Saul Season 4 Gets August Premiere Date at AMC |url=http://tvline.com/2018/05/31/better-call-saul-season-4-premiere-date-amc/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180606144424/http://tvline.com/2018/05/31/better-call-saul-season-4-premiere-date-amc/ |archive-date=June 6, 2018 |access-date=June 6, 2018 |website=[[TVLine]]}}</ref>
