Bob Odenkirk claims he felt like a “guest” in his role as lawyer Saul Goodman on the hit AMC series “Breaking Bad.” “They were very good people to include me because I really was popping in,” Odenkirk, 61, told Jimmy Kimmel about the cast Wednesday. “I felt very much like a guest in their company.”“Did you always?” a surprised Kimmel asked.“Maybe toward the end, I felt more part of the show.
But the truth is they established that show and everything about it — the tone and the integrity of the work — before I ever showed up,” Odenkirk said.Saul Goodman joined the show in Season 2 of “Breaking Bad” in 2009.
Odenkirk admitted to Kimmel that he hadn’t seen the Emmy-winning hit before being cast, and recalled trying to discuss the show with star Bryan Cranston. “Bryan [Cranston] was talking about a scene he was doing.
And I’m like, ‘Yeah, but your character and Gus are friends, right?’ ” the former “Saturday Night Live” writer remembered.“[Cranston] looked at me — this was the third season — and he goes, ‘You’ve never watched the show, have you?’ ” Odenkirk said. “I just laughed.”Despite his initial lack of knowledge of the series, Odenkirk’s fan-favorite character still got his own spinoff, “Better Call Saul,” which ran for six seasons from 2015 to 2022.
