"It was incredibly frightening," Proksch said of Odenkirk <a href="https://www.insider.com/bob-odenkirk-hospitalized-collapse-better-call-saul-2021-7">collapsing on the set of "Better Call Saul"</a> in late July. "He's a mentor and he's a hero of mine, and insanely enough, I get to call him a friend." Proksch told Insider that he reached out to the Odenkirk family (Odenkirk's wife Naomi is also Proksch's manager) immediately after the "Breaking Bad" star was hospitalized. "It's scary, and he's an incredibly energetic person who is always on the go," Proksch, who had a recurring role as Daniel Wormwald on "<keyword id="12055619" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="better-call-saul" source="Orion">Better Call Saul</keyword>," said. "When something like that happens, it really shakes you to your core," he added. <div type="image" title="Bob Odenkirk and Mark Proksch on &quot;Better Call Saul.&quot;" height="558" width="728" msid="86052735" hostid="261"></div>News first broke July 28 that Odenkirk had collapsed while filming "Better Call Saul" in New Mexico.

Proksch plays the "energy vampire" on the FX <keyword id="11940446" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="comedy" source="Orion">comedy</keyword>, which premiered its third season on Thursday. Colin usually manages to avoid any conflicts with his vampire roommates, but the actor said that there's a "big twist" involving his character at the end of this season. "I know what happens to my character, which is rare on the show. They usually play it pretty close to the vest," Proksch told Insider in a recent interview. According to the actor, the nature of the twist involving Colin was the reason he was made aware of his character's fate ahead of time."It's going to be very disturbing, I think, for a lot of people," Proksch revealed. "But I think it's also going to be incredibly hilarious, and definitely something that shakes the show up a little bit." "I have no doubt that they're going to kill it when it comes to the writing," he added. <div type="image" title="Colin Robinson on season two of &quot;What We Do in the Shadows.&quot;" height="2000" width="2666" msid="86019469" hostid="261"></div>Season two of <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-we-do-in-the-shadows-season-three-review-2021-9">"What We Do in the Shadows"</a> ended with a major cliffhanger - Nandor's human familiar, Guillermo, was revealed to be a vampire slayer who's actually the descendant of Professor Abraham Van Helsing (a famous monster hunter). And when Guillermo outed himself as a slayer in order to save Nandor, Colin, Nadja, and Lazlo from being killed by the vampire council, the famously finicky housemates were left to determine his fate. (Thankfully, they decided by the end of the season premiere to let Guillermo live.)Proksch also told Insider that there were several <a href="https://www.insider.com/tv-surprising-celebrity-guest-appearances-cameo-tv-2018-3">celebrity cameos</a> happening this season, but couldn't divulge who exactly would make an appearance on the show.

When asked by Insider who he'd most like to see make a cameo, Proksch joked that he's a fan of "all things old." "A lot of the people I'd want to see on the show are dead," the actor said. "But Bob Newhart, who is thankfully still acting and still alive, it'd be my dream to get him on the show. I think he's an absolute genius." Even though Proksch joked that some of stars on his wish list (which also included the late actors Max von Sydow and Don Knotts) were "nerdy," he didn't hold back in telling Insider exactly which role he'd like to see Newhart play on the show. "I would love for him to have been the energy vampire that turned [my character] into an energy vampire," Proksch said of the famously deadpan 91-year-old comedian. "I think he would be an absolutely brilliant head of the energy vampires." <div type="image" title="Mark Proksch as Colin Robinson on season three of &quot;What We Do in the Shadows.&quot;" height="4000" width="5333" msid="85928453" hostid="261"></div>On the FX comedy, Proksch plays "energy vampire" Colin Robinson, a supernatural creature who feeds off his victims' mental stamina - mostly through engaging them in inane or boring conversations.
