Bob Odenkirk Played Another Shady Lawyer 12 Years Before Breaking Bad's Saul Goodman

Few TV actors have had as fascinating a career trajectory as Bob Odenkirk. The actor famously came incredibly close to winning the role of Michael Scott in the beloved sitcom The Office, but lost out to Steve Carell. Michael Scott is by far Carell's most famous role, but years later, Odenkirk got a career-defining role of his own, playing shady lawyer Saul Goodman, otherwise known as Jimmy McGill, in Breaking Bad and its spinoff Better Call Saul.
