‘Better Call Saul' actor Bob Odenkirk honoured with Hollywood Walk of Fame Star

"Better Call Saul" and "Breaking Bad" star Bob Odenkirk has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The star of the Emmy-nominated producer, writer, actor and lyricist is right next to that of Bryan Cranston, Odenkirk's "Breaking Bad" co-star.

Odenkirk reminisced at the ceremony about how he used to visit the Walk of Fame and "pretend'' to show complete disdain for all things Hollywood.

"I walked the streets with my nose high in the air, scoffing at every symbol of Hollywood and fame and famous people and celebrities and everything about it that was so big and distant and intimidating,'' he said.

"And I still do that. I still pretend to disdain it all. It's healthy. It's better that way. But inside, I don't disdain Hollywood. I love it.''

David Cross and "Better Call Saul" castmate Rhea Seehorn spoke at the ceremony, along with Odenkirk.

Cross and Odenkirk starred in and hosted the 1995-98 HBO sketch comedy "Mr. Show with Bob and David." Odenkirk earned two Emmy nominations for outstanding writing for a variety or music program and one for outstanding music and lyrics as the lyricist for the song "How High The Mountain."

Odenkirk, Cross and Brian Posehn co-wrote "Hollywood Said No!" a collection of their unproduced screenplays which reached The New York Times' best-seller list.

The ceremony coincides with the start of the sixth and final season of "Better Call Saul,'' AMC's spinoff of the 2008-2013 hit "Breaking Bad." Odenkirk made his first appearance as fast-talking criminal defense attorney Saul Goodman in the 2009 second-season "Breaking Bad'' episode, "Better Call Saul,'' in what was supposed to be a three-episode arc, but remained on the series for the rest of its run.

Odenkirk received outstanding lead actor in a drama series Emmy nominations in each of first four seasons of "Better Call Saul.'' He is also a producer of "Better Call Saul,'' which received outstanding drama series Emmy nominations in each of its five completed seasons, which resulted in five more Emmy nominations for Odenkirk.

Odenkirk suffered what he called a "small heart attack" and collapsed on the show's set in New Mexico, on July 27. He returned to the shoot six weeks later.
