“We were shooting a scene, we’d been shooting all day, and luckily I didn’t go back to my trailer,” he began to explain.
“I went to play the Cubs game and ride my workout bike, and I just went down…Rhea [Seehorn] said I started turning bluish-gray right away.”
Bob clarified that he’d been told something was off with his heart, but unclear what to do about it.
“I’d known since 2018 that I had this plaque buildup in my heart,” he said.
“I went to two heart doctors at Cedars-Sinai, and I had dye and an M.R.I. and all that stuff, and the doctors disagreed” on the course of action, and whether to start medicine.
“One of those pieces of plaque broke up,” causing the heart attack.
On the set, an assistant director, Angie Meyer, started giving him CPR and shocking him with an automated defibrillator.
The first two shocks didn’t work until “the third time, it got me that rhythm back.”
At the hospital, doctors went through the veins in his wrist “and blew up the little balloons and knocked out that plaque and left stents in two places.”
He spent a week in the hospital, and is now back to health, and hikes near Better Call Saul‘s set – even taking the New York Times reporter on a hike. We’re happy to hear he’s doing better again!
Check out his return to the set of Better Call Saul.
