LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Better Call Saul” star Bob Odenkirk collapsed on the show’s New Mexico set on Tuesday and had to be hospitalized.
Crew members called an ambulance that took the 58-year-old actor to a hospital, where he remained Tuesday night, a person close to Odenkirk who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter told The Associated Press.
It was not immediately clear what caused the collapse, or how long Odenkirk might be hospitalized.
“Better Call Saul,” the spin-off prequel to “Breaking Bad,” has been shooting its sixth and final season, which is set to air on AMC next year.
Like “Breaking Bad,” “Better Call Saul” is set in and mostly shot in Albuquerque.
An email sent to a representative of AMC seeking more information or comment was not immediately returned.
Odenkirk has been nominated for four Emmys for playing the title character, a down-on-his-luck lawyer named Jimmy McGill who becomes increasingly corrupt and adopts the pseudonym Saul Goodman.

Just deserts! They say that God works in mysterious ways. I give you one fine example!
So Odenkirk got vaccinated 3 - 4 months ago, passed out on the set in New Mexico at the end of July and the IDIOCRACY promptly presumes the vaccines caused him to pass out. It couldn’t possibly have been due to dehydration caused by long hours working in the New Mexico heat wearing a mandatory stupid mask every minute except when cameras were rolling?
Having lived i; the region I assume it was heat related. If you aren’t acclimated to ABQ heat you’re doomed. I stop functioning over 90.
He got the shot four months ago, according to the date on the linked article.
That was no heart attack he had. It was the vaccine kicking in he had back in March.
