Bob Odenkirk said his 2021 heart attack on the Better Call Saul set made him decide not to keep working at the same pace.
The 63-year-old actor said the scare exposed how fragile life is and how an over-scheduled career can make it hard to appreciate work or daily life.
Odenkirk said he kept working because he had already committed to years of projects before the heart attack, but is now deliberately easing back.
His reset comes as he continues promoting new work, including the film Normal and a Machu Picchu documentary, while saying he now wants more time away from constant obligations.
