Bob Odenkirk, on the verge of fame as Saul Goodman, the slippery ray-of-sunshine attorney launched on AMC’s otherwise bleak Breaking Bad (RIP), has been getting Saul’ed for a few years now. “Better call Saul!” strangers shout on the street, echoing his character’s slogan, which also happens to be the name of the highly anticipated Breaking Bad spinoff, a prequel premiering on February 8. “If people want to yell that at me, go ahead,” says Odenkirk. “I don’t perceive myself that way, so it’s just going to fly past my head and land nowhere. What a crazy kind of lottery to win, to go into rooms with strangers and they smile at you.”

If Odenkirk doesn’t seemed fazed by the Norm effect, maybe it’s because he already had a cult following by the time Breaking Bad came along—for Mr. Show with Bob and David, The Ben Stiller Show, The Dennis Miller Show, and The Larry Sanders Show. But he never really got famous for any of them. When he popped up on, say, Curb Your Enthusiasm or Entourage, you smiled. You laughed. Then you forgot he was ever on it.
