The Saul Goodman actor was rushed to the hospital Tuesday while shooting the Breaking Bad prequel series in New Mexico, TMZ reported.

He WILL get through this." Michael McKean also sent "huge love" to his Better Call Saul co-star, adding, "You got this, brother." McKean portrayed the brother of Odenkirk's Better Call Saul character.
