LOS ANGELES, July 31 — Screen actor Bob Odenkirk, best known as the sardonic, morally conflicted criminal defence lawyer on television’s, said yesterday he was recovering from a mild heart attack after collapsing on the set of his show earlier this week.
Representatives for the performer issued a statement the next day saying he was listed in stable condition “after experiencing a heart-related incident.” He also thanked the AMC network and producers Sony Pictures Television for their support, and family and friends for “the outpouring of love,” adding, “I’m going to take a beat to recover but I’ll be back soon.”
