As he plays a dodgy sheriff in Ben Wheatley\u2019s Normal, Odenkirk will be here to answer your inquiries about a remarkable career that has taken him from Wayne\u2019s World to Saturday Night Live and The Bear<\/p>\n
Bob Odenkirk has achieved one of the more improbable small-to-big screen transitions in recent years. He was only meant to stick around for four episodes as shady lawyer Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad. Instead, creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould liked what they saw and he became a series regular \u2013 and, after that, the unlikely centre of Better Call Saul, widely regarded as one of the finest spin-offs ever made.<\/p>\n
In 2021, he then popped up as a mild-mannered family man turned bone-crunching action hero in Nobody, a role for which he buffed up for two years. Released during Covid, Nobody was unexpectedly successful, leading to a sequel. Now he\u2019s testing his knack for making deeply questionable characters oddly endearing by playing a dodgy small-town sheriff in Ben Wheatley\u2019s new film, Normal, alongside Henry Winkler as the town mayor.<\/p>\n
