OT: Concern For Bob Odenkirk (From "Better Call Saul")

[fireford]

Recently watched him in the movie "Nobody", which isn't half-bad if you're willing to suspend plausibility for a couple of hours. Was pretty impressed with the difficulty of stunts he was able to do for a guy in his late 50's. In any case, reports of what happened and how he's doing in the hospital are pretty cryptic so I hope the guy is OK.

Breaking Bad began production in 2007. Now, Better Call Saul, a prequel, is filming in 2021. So recurring characters, like Odenkirk and Johnathan Banks, will actually be at least 14 years older than when they first appear in Breaking Bad. That will take a lot of makeup.

Breaking Bad was one of the great series in television history. Better Call Saul isn`t at that level, but it is outstanding nonetheless.

Hope that Odenkirk is doing well.

I saw Nobody and thought it was ridiculous and over the top but given the limited movie theater choices, I was glad to see it.
