Bob Odenkirk

Bob Odenkirk, born on October 13, 1962, in Berwyn, Illinois, is an American actor, comedian, writer, director, and producer. He first rose to prominence as a highly influential sketch comedy writer, contributing to seminal shows like Saturday Night Live (where he created the iconic "Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker" character for Chris Farley), Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and The Ben Stiller Show. His unique brand of absurdist and often dark humor found its fullest expression as the co-creator and co-star of the cult sketch comedy series Mr. Show with Bob and David (1995–1998) alongside David Cross.While Mr. Show cemented his reputation in comedy circles, Odenkirk's career took a significant dramatic turn when he joined the cast of the critically acclaimed AMC series Breaking Bad (2008–2013) in its second season. His portrayal of the sleazy, ambulance-chasing lawyer Saul Goodman quickly became a fan favorite, providing much-needed comic relief while also evolving into a complex and morally ambiguous character. The immense popularity of Saul Goodman led to the creation of the spin-off prequel series Better Call Saul (2015–2022), which chronicled Goodman's transformation from idealistic public defender Jimmy McGill. Odenkirk's nuanced and powerful performance in Better Call Saul earned him widespread critical acclaim, including multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor, cementing his status as a formidable dramatic actor.Beyond his work in the Breaking Bad universe, Odenkirk has also starred in films such as Nebraska (2013), The Post (2017), and the action-thriller Nobody (2021), where he surprised audiences with his transformation into a capable action hero. He has also directed films like Melvin Goes to Dinner (2003) and Let's Go to Prison (2006). A published author, Odenkirk has penned several books, including "Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama: A Memoir," which reflects on his diverse career. Throughout his varied career, Bob Odenkirk has continually reinvented himself, showcasing his versatility and depth as an entertainer across multiple genres and mediums.
