While fans are obviously still concerned, the positive update came as a relief to much of social media.
"We can confirm Bob is in stable condition after experiencing a heart-related incident," reps for the actor shared with The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. "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 well wishes and ask for their privacy at this time as Bob works on his recovery."
Odenkirk earned himself acclaim early in his career for his comedic writing and performances, having worked on Saturday Night Live and Mr. Show With Bob and David. He would continue to appear in and contribute to a variety of comedic endeavors throughout the '90s and '00s, with his involvement in AMC's acclaimed Breaking Bad earning him praise as the lawyer Saul Goodman, who always found ways to help out his drug-dealing client Walter White (Bryan Cranston). His character left such an impact on audiences that Odenkirk returned to the role for the prequel series Better Call Saul, which has earned him multiple Golden Globe and Emmy nominations.
Earlier this year, Odenkirk shocked audiences once again by appearing in Nobody, a high-octane action film that saw the actor embark on a rigorous training plan to pull off the intense stunts and fight scenes.
