Better Call Saul Stars Band Together for a Cause: Odenkirk and Fabian Stand United
When we last saw Bob Odenkirk and Patrick Fabian on screen together, their characters were at odds in the iconic AMC show, “Better Call Saul.” However, it seems their on-screen animosity doesn’t translate to real life. Recently, the duo was spotted showing their unity on the SAG-AFTRA picket lines, painting a stark contrast to the contentious relationship their characters shared on the hit show.
The Meeting of Better Call Saul Alums
Despite the ongoing tensions between their on-screen characters, Jimmy McGill and Howard Hamlin, Odenkirk and Fabian stood shoulder-to-shoulder, showing support for the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. Their reunion caught fans’ attention when Odenkirk shared a snapshot on Twitter, fondly captioning it, “An amazing assemblage of BCS folks.”

Odenkirk’s Busy Schedule Post-Better Call Saul
Bob Odenkirk’s professional journey didn’t halt after “Better Call Saul.” He dove straight into another AMC drama, “Lucky Hank.” Playing the role of an English professor grappling with his chaotic personal life and a looming midlife crisis, Odenkirk showcased another side of his vast acting capabilities. The show, though critically acclaimed, is still on the fence about a second season due to its lukewarm viewership. Additionally, Odenkirk’s guest appearance in “The Bear” season 2 has generated significant Emmy buzz, solidifying his position as one of television’s most versatile actors.
What’s Up Next for Patrick Fabian?
While Patrick Fabian’s journey after “Better Call Saul” might not have been as high-profile as Odenkirk’s, he hasn’t been idle. He graced Disney+ screens in “Big Shot” and secured roles in indie films such as “The Way We Speak,” “The Hereafter,” and “The Other Zoey.” However, with the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike emphasizing increased streaming residuals and AI regulations, both Fabian and Odenkirk’s projects might be on hold.
In Solidarity with SAG-AFTRA
With the SAG-AFTRA strike focusing on the evolving landscape of entertainment, actors like Odenkirk and Fabian standing together demonstrate the unity of the industry. While they may be known for their iconic roles and on-screen conflicts, their mutual support off-screen exemplifies the importance of coming together for a shared cause.
