U.S. television and film actor Bob Odenkirk was taken to a Los Angeles-area hospital Tuesday after collapsing on the set of his AMC cable network show “Better Call Saul,” according to sources close to the performer.

According to celebrity news website TMZ.com, Odenkirk was stricken as he and cast-mates were shooting a scene in New Mexico where the series is set. He was immediately sent to a hospital by an ambulance.

“Better Call Saul,” currently in production for its sixth season, is a prequel to the hit AMC crime series “Breaking Bad,” which introduced Odenkirk as Saul Goodman, the sharp-witted criminal defense lawyer for the show’s protagonist. (SD-Agncies)
