Bob Odenkirk on Becoming an Action Star & Better Call Saul Ending

Bob comes out totally beaten up because he didn’t know he could use a stuntman for his new action movie Nobody, and he talks about doing an action movie, working with Christopher Lloyd, writing a book of poetry with his kids in quarantine, getting vaccinated with his “Better Call Saul” castmates, and not wanting to know what his character’s fate is on the final season of the show.
