10 Awful Movies Breaking Bad Actors Want You To Forget

Bob Odenkirk, before he landed his part in Breaking Bad, was perhaps best known for his HBO sketch comedy series Mr Show that he co-created with David Cross. Following the end of their sketch show, it seemed like Cross was shaping up to be the more successful of the two when he starred as Tobias Funke in the critical darling sitcom Arrested Development and various comedic film roles. Odenkirk during this time did not achieve such mainstream accomplishments.

Odenkirk was launched into worldwide recognition in the late 2000s and early 2010s however, thanks to his portrayal of everyone's favourite criminal lawyer Saul Goodman from Season 2 of Breaking Bad to its final season. While his character was one of the more comedic of the show, he showed a surprising amount of capability as a dramatic actor and went on to star in the equally successful prequel series Better Call Saul, which earned him further acclaim and awards. Breaking Bad allowed him to continue acting in high profile dramatic projects such as the first season of Fargo, 2019's Little Women and The Post.

He decided to continue with his trend of working on more serious material when he wrote, produced and starred in the Netflix original movie Girlfriend's Day. Odenkirk set out to prove his worth behind the camera as well as in front when making what was apparently intended to be a cool, quirky comedy drama. The film ended up as nothing more than another forgettable Netflix production that didn't quite have the desired effect of boosting Odenkirk's status as a dynamic artist.
