"We can confirm Bob is in stable condition after experiencing a heart-related incident. 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," The Guardian reported the statement issued on his health.

Post Breaking Bad in 2013, Odenkirk shot back with its spin-off Better Call Saul in 2015. And ever since then, the show has had a triumphant run. Bob received four Emmy nominations ever since and is expected to win many more with the final season of the show.

Odenkirk had also worked as a comedy writer for Saturday Night Live and The Ben Stiller Show before Breaking Bad fell into his lap.
