Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk is awake and out of the woods after suffering a scary medical issue that caused him to collapse on set.
The 58-year-old actor was rushed to an Albuquerque, New Mexico, hospital by ambulance on Tuesday.

His buddy Bryan Cranston set off alarm bells when he asked fans to send prayers, with many believing this signified it was a much greater deal than originally expected.
Moments ago, Odenkirk's reps gave RadarOnline.com a statement on his condition.
“We can confirm Bob is in stable condition after experiencing a heart-related incident. He and his family would like to express gratitude for the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him, as well as his cast, crew, and producers who have stayed by his side," Odenkirk's reps tell us.
"The Odenkirks would also like to thank everyone for the outpouring of well wishes and ask for their privacy at this time as Bob works on his recovery," they add.
According to reports, Odenkirk landed in the hospital after suffering a heart-related medical emergency.
Insiders reveal his condition looked grim at first, but he's now on the rebound.
They also allege the actor was unconscious when he first got to the hospital, but as of this post, he is lucid.
Odenkirk was filming the popular sixth and final season of Better Call Saul when the incident occurred.
Cranston's calls for prayer collected a lot of attention this morning and immediately put fans into panic mode.
“Today I woke up to news that has made me anxious all morning,” Cranston said on Instagram while sharing a photo of himself with Odenkirk.
“My friend, Bob Odenkirk collapsed last night on the set of Better Call Saul. He is in the hospital in Albuquerque and receiving the medical attention he needs but his condition is not known to the public as yet," he continued.
Ending his emotional message, Cranston asked his 3.1 million followers to "please take a moment in your day today to think about him and send positive thoughts and prayers his way, thank you.”
