.MrBobOdenkirk is ready to stop and smell the roses: “It’s especially pertinent in the modern world we live in where the idea of being constantly driven is sort of just an accepted game plan for every day of your f--king life.”
” part in 2009, he’d never seen an episode of the critically acclaimed drama. He always believed he’d remain in comedy.
“He still owes me a significant amount of money, so he’s been slowly working it off,” Cross jokes of why their relationship has lasted so long. On a more serious note, he adds, “Well we deeply respect and appreciate each other’s brain and although we might have two wildly different takes on something at first, together we can bring out the best of that particular idea. And there are no hurt feelings with decisions we make … I’ve rarely met someone as driven and willing to put in the hard work.
“I thought I was being asked to do three or four episodes. They weren’t sure at the time. I couldn’t do the fourth because I was signed up for ‘How I Met Your Mother.’ As a result, they invented the character of Mike [played by Jonathan Banks] because I wasn’t available for the fourth episode,” he says. “Thank God for ‘How I Met Your Mother.’ It made it possible for me to have this other show, ‘Better Call Saul,’ which was me and Mike, at least when it started.
“I told him that what I realized is that it took as much energy to try to resist taking a leadership role than it did just to accept it. So, I said, ‘I just put my arms around it. Bob, I think that’s what you should do. Just embrace it.’ He did that. He became the leader of that show. They looked up to him, they took their cues from him.”
“I’m not running from the guy. I think sometimes people do that. I think one of the reasons I’m not running away from him is the way he was scripted by Vince Gilligan, Peter Gould and all the writers. I got to do comedy on one page and four pages later, do the most earnest drama written. It was this great mix with unbelievable dynamics to it, so it’s a hard thing to imagine another part being that wide-ranging,” he explains, noting that he never particularly liked Saul or his choices.
