TMZ reports and The Hollywood Reporter and other outlets have confirmed that the 58-year-old Odenkirk collapsed Tuesday morning while he and his Better Call Saul co-stars were shooting a scene on the show's set in Albuquerque, New Mexico. (TMZ initially reported that Odenkirk collapsed at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California.) "We're told Odenkirk went down, and was immediately surrounded by crew members who called an ambulance," reports TMZ. "Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they got a call to the lot at 11:34 AM for a medical emergency. We're told it's unclear if he was conscious when he was transported, but a source close to Odenkirk tells us he is still in the hospital under the care of doctors." Odenkirk has been filming the sixth and final season of the Breaking Bad spinoff. Neither Sony nor AMC has yet to comment on the incident. UPDATE: David Cross and Michael McKean express their support for Odenkirk. "I will share what I know when I can but Bob is one of the strongest people I know both physically and spiritually. He WILL get through this," tweeted Cross. McKean tweeted: "Sending huge love to our @mrbobodenkirk. You got this, brother."
