The 58-year-old actor was rushed to the hospital on July 27, Tuesday after he collapsed while on the set of his show, Better Call Saul. The hit AMC series is currently filming its sixth and final season.
During that time, TMZ reported that he fell down while filming a scene in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was immediately surrounded by crew members who called an ambulance for additional help.
Following his medical emergency, the star's rep confirms to E! News that he "is in stable condition after experiencing a heart-related incident.”
The rep also said in a statement on Wednesday, July 28, "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 good wishes and asks for their privacy at this time as Bob works on his recovery."
Soon after news of his injury surfaced online, several cast members spoke out on social media asking for prayers for their co-star and friend.
His former co-star and the star of Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston took to social media his love and support for his close friend. He shared that he work up with the news of his condition which made him anxious all morning. He also urged everyone to take a moment in their day today to think about him and send positive thoughts and prayers his way.
Aaron Paul, the other co-star from Breaking Bad also shared his message for his friend on social media.
All worrying concerns about Bob Odenkirk’s health were put to rest after the actor’s son, Nate Odenkirk reassured fans that his dad was recovering. He took to Twitter to convey the message to all the worried well-wishers and fans out there.
Throughout his long career in Hollywood, Bob has received four Emmy nominations in the category of Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role as con-man lawyer Saul Goodman on Better Call Saul. The show, which is currently filming season six, is a spinoff of Breaking Bad.
Bob shared with Variety, "Here's the great thing about the character I get to play, as opposed to maybe Walter White or Tony Soprano or other long-running lead characters. My character has an incredible amount of variety written into his behavior. There will literally be a scene, like the one we did yesterday, that is such pure comedy that I almost click into sketch-comedy acting mode. And then there's a scene that's quiet, subtle, dramatic, personal, deeply felt, earnest, and in no way an exaggeration or a comic take on people's feelings. Because of that, it keeps it really fresh and great for me. It makes it a much easier character to stay in for a long time."
