Bob Odenkirk spent years as a writer before he became an Emmy nominee for his acting on “Better Call Saul,” so it’s no surprise that he credits the show’s writers for his acting success.

But he also gives props to the audience — those mysterious people he spent all those years trying to please by typing words on a page.

“I really am surprised by the nomination,” he told TheWrap. “I think it’s because I’ve been in Hollywood a long time, you do start to underestimate the audience and people’s willingness to watch something with texture and sensitivity. I think you have to feel the same way I do, a little bit.
