He's been amazing in supporting and guest roles in countless movies and TV shows over the decades, but there was never this kind of groundswell around him. He has been Emmy-nominated as best dramatic series actor for each of Better Call Saul's five season, but he's never won. The truth is, the Better Call Saul actor hasn’t been at the forefront of the conversation. The actor’s son, comedy writer Nate Odenkirk, tweeted simply: The Odenkirks would also like to thank everyone for the outpouring of well wishes and ask for their privacy at this time as Bob works on his recovery.” He and his family would like to express gratitude for the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him, as well as his cast, crew and producers who have stayed by his side. Late in the afternoon, a statement from the actor’s reps offered an update on his condition: “We can confirm Bob is in stable condition after experiencing a heart related incident. The 58-year-old reportedly collapsed on the New Mexico set of Better Call Saul yesterday and has been hospitalized. We hate those kinds of guys, and yet we love the comedian turned character actor turned leading man-as evidenced by the fact that no one can get any work done because we’re constantly refreshing news sites and social media for word on how he’s doing. The way people feel about Bob Odenkirk is in direct opposition to the number of dirtbags, hucksters, and loudmouths he has brought to life.
