Damn, pray he’s ok. He is one seriously talented guy.

Might be a touch of heatstroke, hasn't it been consistently in the high 30s to low 40s in New Mexico over the past few weeks?

 

[dave28]

Serious heat there, as mentioned already perhaps just heatstroke or overwork. I think they do long hours even though many assume they work a few hours a day and go home

 

[Ayahuasca]

Confirmed as heart related so either a heart attack or a serious arrhythmia.

Was shocked so see he's 58, had him placed late 40's/early 50's.

Who?

Who?

the star of better call saul and he was in breaking bad

 

[doodah]

My troll spidey sense is tingling because it says who he is in the very first sentence of this thread.

 

[200sols]

Who?

Bob Odenkirk.

 

[jsmoke]

Bob Odenkirk.

Oh him.

 

[Glanza]

We can confirm Bob is in stable condition after experiencing a heart-related incident. 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. 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.

Sounding good.

Nobody

Glad he's stable he's a very underated actor

I agree I think he is a really good actor.

I'm not a fan of Better Call Soul though, we struggled through about a season and a half and gave up.

Breaking Bad on the other hand was awesome.

I didn't like El Camino either.

I know he's been in other stuff though.

First 2 seasons were a bit of a slog then it basically turns into Breaking Bad

Watch Nobody, brilliant film.

The brothers story was so tedious and unengaging throughout the first few seasons of BCS but also needed to give backstory to his character I guess.

The Brothers thing didn't bother me, what did my head in is every time Chuck was on screen I had flashbacks to midgets dancing around a tiny Stonehenge.

 

[VincentHanna]

I don't think the first two seasons are tedious at all, but it certainly gets better and better each year.

Glad to hear Odenkirk is ok, anyway.

 

[Bassmansam]

Who?

he is a Nobody, nevermind.

Better call saul is one of my favourite shows, season 4 and 5 in particular are up there with the best bits of Breaking bad.
