Bob Odenkirk has reportedly been hospitalized after collapsing on the set of his AMC show "Better Call Saul."
TMZ first reported the actor was filming a scene for the "Breaking Bad" spinoff in New Mexico on Tuesday when he collapsed. According to the publication, Odenkirk was taken to the hospital immediately after his collapse.
Per the original report, Odenkirk has remained in the hospital since the incident. Representatives for Odenkirk declined to comment when reached by Insider. As of the time of writing, there have been no publicized updates on his status from his team.
Following news of the actor's collapse, Odenkirk's "Breaking Bad" costar Bryan Cranston shared a message of support on Instagram, along with a photo of him and Odenkirk.
"Today I woke up to news that has made me anxious all morning," Cranston wrote. "My friend, Bob Odenkirk collapsed last night on the set of Better Call Saul."
After explaining to followers that Odenkirk is currently in an Albuquerque, New Mexico, hospital "receiving the medical attention he needs," Cranston encouraged his followers to keep his former costar in their thoughts, since Odenkirk's condition is "not known to the public as yet."
"Please take a moment in your day today to think about him and send positive thoughts and prayers his way, thank you," Cranston concluded.
Odenkirk's "Mr. Show" co-creator and costar David Cross also made a statement about Odenkirk on Twitter.
"I will share what I know when I can but Bob is one of the strongest people I know both physically and spiritually," the "Arrested Development" star wrote. "He WILL get through this."
