Bob Odenkirk
Definition
Bob Odenkirk is an American actor, comedian, writer, and director best known for his Emmy-nominated portrayal of the sleazy yet charismatic lawyer Saul Goodman (alter ego Jimmy McGill) in the TV series Breaking Bad (2008–2013) and its prequel/spin-off Better Call Saul (2015–2022).
He has also starred in films like Nobody (2021), where he subverted his everyman image into a balletic assassin dad, and created the sketch comedy show Mr. Show with Bob and David (1995–1998).
Examples
After years of playing lovable losers, Bob Odenkirk finally got to unleash his inner Jason Statham in Nobody, and let's just say retirement plans got canceled.
If Saul Goodman from Better Call Saul advised your taxes, you'd either end up richer or in witness protection—courtesy of Bob Odenkirk's silver-tongued chaos.
Bob Odenkirk's memoir reads like a stand-up set: full of absurd Hollywood tales where he punches up, literally and figuratively.
Watching Bob Odenkirk improv on Mr. Show is like witnessing a comedy tornado—destructive, delightful, and impossible to look away from.
