News of Odenkirk's on-set collapse sparked growing concern among fans Wednesday, especially after hours went by with no updates on his condition.

Prior to Wednesday evening's update, Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston was among those to wish Odenkirk a quick recovery, writing on Instagram, "Please take a moment in your day today to think about him and send positive thoughts and prayers his way."
