It is currently unknown what caused the collapse, or how long Odenkirk will be in hospital.

Fans of the actor – including fellow actors – posted messages of support on Twitter.

“Sending huge love to our @mrbobodenkirk. You got this, brother,” tweeted his Better Call Saul co-star Micheal McKean.

Elijah Wood wrote: “Oh man, really hope Bob Odenkirk is ok.”
