BetterCallSaul’s Patrick Fabian on Rhea Seehorn: “You think she’s good on-screen? You should be in front of her and have a front-row seat, because that’s what I’ve had. I would like to think that someday I’d be as good as Rhea Seehorn.”
” fans — and now demand similar answers about her fate. There are just six episodes left before the “Breaking Bad” prequel wraps up its six-season run in August. How it all ends is still a closely guarded secret.
Kim Wexler gave Rhea Seehorn the platform she needed to showcase her talent. As “Saul” comes to a close, this is her moment to capitalize on all of the accolades and good will, which Seehorn fans hope will include her first Emmy nomination. Odenkirk and Fabian know how much sweat Seehorn puts into playing Kim because they’ve lived through it. The three of them were roommates in Albuquerque, in a house that Odenkirk bought to get away from the dreariness of living alone in a hotel during production. Instead, the roomies went on TV binges and cooked for each other , but most of all, they spent hours workshopping scripts, deconstructing scenes and rehearsing in the kitchen.
Seehorn tackled directing the way she does acting: by going above and beyond expectations. “She made her interest known to us a while ago, and I really didn’t have a single hesitation,” Gould says. “I knew she’d do really well because she’s bright and she’s organized and she has incredible focus. And also, she’s generous and other actors love her. And so did the crew.
The actors would take breaks in an empty studio, in little plexiglass cubicles where they could get work done — or in Odenkirk’s case, watch a Chicago Cubs game while on his exercise bike. Seehorn and Fabian were chatting when they saw Odenkirk fall over. Understandably, Odenkirk doesn’t remember anything from those events, but being reminded of how Seehorn and Fabian were there to help still makes him emotional.
“I went by Debbie until 13 or 14,” she says. “It’s a perfectly lovely name. But it always felt ‘other’ to me.” As a kid, she gravitated toward older shows on Nick at Nite, as well as more contemporary comedies like “Soap,” “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and later, “The Golden Girls.” During her freshman year, she took an acting class as an elective and met Lynnie Raybuck, a teacher and actor who remains a mentor. Seehorn was soon gripped with studying acting techniques — and vocabulary like “the new school” or “practical aesthetics.” And no surprise, she was especially drawn to the work itself.
“There’s a lore of Rhea Seehorn,” Cummings says. “If you’re an actress, where it’s like if you’re testing for a TV show, if Rhea’s going in, just don’t go. There’s no point. Like, she’s the one to beat.” “Auditions are always a little bit fraught, and this was particularly high tension because it was a spinoff and nobody knew exactly what it was going to be,” Gould says. “When she walked in and started interacting with Bob, we all got very quiet. What we saw was something that we just felt — like, these two belong together on the show. That changed the writing of it and I think that really changed our thinking.
“I thought that she had an alcoholic parent in the pilot,” Seehorn says. “I never told them, and we never talked about it. And then in that Season 5 flashback, you see my mom, and she’s an alcoholic. I was like, aha!” AMC Networks entertainment president Dan McDermott notes that Kim has come to embody a lot of the themes of the series. “The complexity of morality, the idea of trying to do what’s right even if you’re maybe not getting there in exactly the most ethical way,” he says. “I think Kim Wexler — and Rhea Seehorn — are having their moment right now, and at a really good time. All of us are just going, ‘Wow.
“I believe she has been grossly overlooked,” Fabian says. “In terms of just solid, consistent, amazing work, if you’re going to give an Emmy out for something like that, for God’s sake you at least have to nominate Rhea Seehorn. I just don’t see how you can’t.”
