Bob Odenkirk reveals the hardest part of leaving Better Call Saul behind, and it has nothing to do with the character he originated on Breaking Bad.
Bob Odenkirk reveals the hardest part about leaving Better Call Saul behind. Odenkirk originated the role of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman's criminal lawyer in Breaking Bad season 2 and returned for the prequel series, which chronicled Jimmy McGill's slow descent from an earnest attorney into the unscrupulous Saul Goodman. Better Call Saul season 6 brought the acclaimed spinoff to an end last August, representing the end of the greater Breaking Bad universe for the time being.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY During a recent interview with Collider for his new series Lucky Hank, Odenkirk was asked what the hardest part of leaving Better Call Saul behind was. His answer had nothing to do with his own character he's played for the past decade, saying it was "saying goodbye to the cast." Odenkirk specifically mentioned Rhea Seehorn, who played his character's closest confidante Kim Wexler, and Patrick Fabian, who played his nemesis Howard Hamlin.
No, the most impactful thing was saying goodbye to the cast. The thing that hurts my heart is having the camaraderie and the love and friendship with Rhea Seehorn and Patrick Fabian and Michael Mando and John Banks and Giancarlo Esposito be in my past. That was the hardest thing about moving on from that show. Nothing comes close to that.
With no return as the beloved cleaner Mike Ehrmantraut on the horizon, Banks shouldn't have trouble finding work considering he's accrued over 180 acting credits during his career. Similarly, Esposito probably won't be back as the Los Pollos Hermanos owner and drug kingpin Gus Fring, though he will remain busy with The Mandalorian, The Boys, and other projects.
