Timeline

1930

He is the second oldest of seven siblings born to Walter Henry Odenkirk (1930–1986), who was employed in the printing business, and Barbara Mary ( Baier) Odenkirk (1936–2021), Catholics of German and Irish descent.

His parents divorced in part due to Walter's alcoholism, which influenced Bob's decision to avoid alcohol as much as possible.

He describes his father as "remote, fucked-up, and not around".

Odenkirk would later say that he grew up "hating" Naperville as a 15-year-old because "it felt like a dead end, like Nowheresville. I couldn't wait to move into a city and be around people who were doing exciting things."

1962

Robert John Odenkirk (born October 22, 1962 ) is an American actor, comedian, and filmmaker.

1984

He completed the credits at Columbia College Chicago and received his bachelor's degree from SIU in 1984.

First studying with Del Close, Odenkirk attended the Players Workshop where he met Robert Smigel, and they began a collaboration that would last for years and take Odenkirk to Saturday Night Live.

He also performed at the Improv Olympic alongside future Saturday Night Live cast members Chris Farley and Tim Meadows.

Odenkirk sharpened his stand-up and improv skills at Elmhurst's now defunct Who's on First comedy club, then part of The Steve and Leo Show.

Odenkirk visited Chicago's Second City Theater at the age of fourteen.

He said his strongest comedic influence was Monty Python's Flying Circus, primarily due to its combination of cerebral humor and verbal slapstick, which Odenkirk characterized as "laugh-out-loud" humor.

Other influences included radio personality Steve Dahl, SCTV, Steve Martin's Let's Get Small, Woody Allen, The Credibility Gap, and Bob and Ray.

1986

Walter Odenkirk died of bone cancer in 1986.

Odenkirk's younger brother is comedy writer Bill Odenkirk.

Bob had helped with Bill's early career.

Odenkirk attended Naperville North High School and graduated at 16; he was "tired of high school", and because he had enough credits, he was able to leave high school when he was still a junior.

Because he was so young and thought he would be awkward at any college, he decided to attend the local College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Illinois.

After a year, he went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, then transferred to Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois, "honing his sketch-writing and performance skills with live shows on both colleges' radio stations".

He began his foray into comedy writing as a radio DJ for WIDB, the local non-broadcast college station at SIU.

At WIDB he created a late-night (midnight to 4 am) radio comedy show called The Prime Time Special.

After three years of college, Odenkirk was three credits short of graduating when he decided to try writing and improv in Chicago.

1987

Odenkirk wrote for television series Saturday Night Live (1987–1991) and The Ben Stiller Show (1992), winning an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series in 1989 and 1993.

Odenkirk was hired as a writer at Saturday Night Live in 1987 and worked there through 1991.

Working alongside Robert Smigel and Conan O'Brien, he contributed to many sketches they created but felt uncertain of the efficacy of his writing at the show.

1988

When SNL took its 1988 summer break, Odenkirk returned to Chicago to perform a stage show with Smigel and O'Brien, titled Happy Happy Good Show.

The following summer he did a one-man show, Show-Acting Guy, directed by Tom Gianas.

During his final summer hiatus, he wrote and acted in the Second City Mainstage show, Flag Burning Permitted in Lobby Only.

In that particular show, he wrote the character "Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker" for Chris Farley, which would later be reprised on SNL.

1990

He acted in several small roles on the show, most visibly during a 1990 parody commercial for Bad Idea Jeans.

1993

He also wrote for Late Night with Conan O'Brien (1993–1994) and acted in a recurring role as Agent Stevie Grant in The Larry Sanders Show (1993–1998).

1995

He is also known for the HBO sketch comedy series Mr. Show with Bob and David (1995–1998), which he co-created and co-starred in with fellow comic David Cross.

2008

For the latter, he has received six nominations for Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.

As a producer on Better Call Saul since its premiere, he has also received six nominations for Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series.

2013

The success of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul led to acting work in high-profile projects such as Nebraska (2013), the first season of Fargo (2014), Steven Spielberg's The Post (2017), Pixar's Incredibles 2 (2018), Little Women (2019) and, as the lead, the action film Nobody (2021), which he also produced.
