Best quality: he works pro bono. Better Call Saul. Back by popular demand, Bob Odenkirk stars as small-time pubic defender Jimmy McGill (aka Saul Goodman ) in this spinoff to Breaking Bad.
Seinfeld. Jackie Chiles (played by Phil Morris) shows up in the later seasons of Seinfeld as a clear parody of attorney Johnnie Cochran (of O.J. Simpson murder case fame). Chiles’ wildly osciliating emotions and enunciated verbosity made him a standout character in a series full of memorable random characters.

We were first introduced to Saul (Bob Odenkirk) during "Breaking Bad," and thrilled when he got his own stage to shine.

Goodman is fun to watch mostly because Odenkirk seems made for this part.
