As Bob Odenkirk, who played the title character Saul Goodman in the popular AMC series, "Better Call Saul," celebrated his 60th birthday over the weekend, his co-stars took to social media to wish the actor.
Rhea Seahorn, who played Odenkirk's on-screen wife Kim Wexler, shared a throwback photo on Instagram, featuring the actor holding a guitar in his hands while the actress clicked the selfie.
Odenkirk had a health scare on July 27 last year, when he suffered a heart attack, while filming the final season of the series. Seahorn was on the sets with him when he got a heart attack alongside another cast member, actor Patrick Fabian.
"Happy birthday to this rock star! So glad you're on the planet & in my life. Love you @therealbobodenkirk !!!" Seahorn captioned the photo.
Fabian, on the other hand, shared a selfie featuring him and Odenkirk. This selfie was seemingly clicked during a famous scene when Saul loses his temper on Fabian's character named Howard Hamlin for offering him a job after his elder brother Chuck McGill died.
While in the scene both the actors look furious, in this on-set photo they can be seen sharing some smiles. "Of Course We're Happy!!!" he captioned the photo. "It's @therealbobodenkirk birthday today!!! Send some Birthday Love his way today!!!!"
Giancarlo Esposito, who played Gus Fring in the series, shared a photo of him and Odenkirk attending an event together. Both actors can be seen wearing formal suits and matching black framed glasses. "Happy Birthday Maestro!!!!" Esposito wrote in the caption. "Love you Bob!"
Michael McKean, who turned 75 last week, popularly known for playing Chuck's character in the series, simply tweeted "Happy birthday to our @mrbobodenkirk!"
The series co-creator Peter Gould also shared a photo of him and Odenkirk on Twitter and wrote, "Happy birthday to the MAN! Have a great one, @mrbobodenkirk!!"
Fans of Odenkirk also wished him on his 60th birthday. One of the fans shared a series of photos of the actor in a video format, showing how he transformed over the years.
Odenkirk began his career in 1987 with TV series, "Cableville, USA" and he went on to work on shows like "Saturday Night Live" and "The Jackie Thomas Show." However, he rose to fame by playing Saul Goodman's character for the first time in "Breaking Bad" series, which aired from 2009 to 2013.
