The star of “Better Call Saul” collapsed on the set of the show in New Mexico and was rushed to a local hospital. There’s been no word on his condition since Tuesday night.

Odenkirk, age 59, has a raft of Emmy nominations for playing Jimmy McGill, the lawyer who became Saul in the series “Breaking Bad.” He more recently starred in “Little Women” as the at-war father of the family of girls.

Odenkirk won earlier fame on “Mr. Show” with David Cross. Both Cross and “Saul” co-star Michael McKean Tweeted out support for their pal last night.  He has Emmy Awards for writing on “The Ben Stiller Show” and “SNL.”

“Better Call Saul” had just started filming its sixth and final season.
