Who Is Erin Odenkirk, Bob Odenkirk’s Daughter with Naomi?

Erin Odenkirk is the second child and only daughter of Bob Odenkirk, an American producer, director, and actor, with his wife, Naomi Yomtov Odenkirk.

Erin’s celebrity status runs quite deep in a family that appears to be stacked with them. Her father, Bob Odenkirk, captured the public’s interest with a stunning display as Saul Goodman in the AMC crime/drama series titled Breaking Bad. Those displays earned him a spin-off series titled Better Call Saul. However, this article focuses on Erin and what her life is like as a celebrity child.

How Old is Erin Odenkirk Now?

Erin Odenkirk is currently 23 years old and was born on November 24, 2000, in Los Angeles, California, USA. Her birth sign is Sagittarius, and she holds American citizenship on account of her birth status.

Her ethnic heritage is a bit more complex when compared to her rather straightforward national identity. Her paternal grandmother is Irish, while her paternal grandfather is German. To further compound her multi-racial ethnic background, Erin Odenkirk’s mother is a Russian native.

Erin Odenkirk’s Mother, Naomi Yomtov Odenkirk, is a Celebrity

Much like her father, though to a lesser extent comparatively, Erin’s mother, Naomi Yomtov Odenkirk, is a celebrity well known in the movie industry as a producer, a screenwriter, and a talent manager. As previously stated, most of her most important works are done behind the scenes. Nevertheless, she has many production credits to her name, including the 2003 comedy sketch series titled Melvin Goes To Dinner, W/Bob and David and Derek and Simon: The Show.

She co-owns a talent management company, Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment, with her husband, Bob Odenkirk. Her husband is just one of many high-profile names that she manages in Hollywood, a position that didn’t initially go down well with him and admittedly caused a few marital strains. Other big names that fall under the management purview of Naomi Odenkirk include Kristen Wiig. She was once a babysitter for the Odenkirk children, Bill Hader, Derek Waters, and Jenna Fischer.

Naomi Odenkirk is also credited with convincing Erin’s father, Bob, to accept the responsibility of playing the role of Saul Goodman in the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul series despite his initial hesitation and belief that the role was different from what he was used to. Fortunately, he took her advice as it is a role that has more or less become his calling card.

Erin Odenkirk’s Father is also A Popular Face in Hollywood

Several publications, including this one, had stated that Bob Odenkirk came to the limelight when he was contracted to be one of the writers of Saturday Night Live in 1987. However, what became arguably his introduction to the Hollywood and general public is his combined display in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. The actor has close to 300 movie, TV series, and reality TV credits to his name and is still very active on the Hollywood scene.

A careful, closer look at the actor’s journey to stardom will reveal that it hasn’t always been smooth sailing for him. Born Robert John Odenkirk on October 22, 1962, in Berwyn, Illinois, USA, Bob Odenkirk grew up as the second of seven children born to Walter Odenkirk, a printer, and Barbara Baier Odenkirk, in Naperville, Illinois, USA.

His childhood was characterized by his father’s drinking problem, a problem that led to his parent’s divorce and his father’s eventual death in 1995. Erin Odenkirk’s father has learned to overcome adversity and is now one of the most respected actors in Hollywood.

Erin Odenkirk’s Parents Met In 1994

Erin’s mom has admitted in an interview that she always had a crush on her husband before their meeting for the first time. This sentiment was one she shared with her friends and colleagues. They offered to make introductions, but she was hesitant because she wasn’t primarily keen on the meeting or even marriage.

According to Naomi, when she met him for the first time on set, he didn’t seem too interested. She was resigned to let things be until a second meeting outside a comedy club in Santa Monica changed that perception. Suddenly, the actor became keen on a relationship which began in 1994. Three years down the line, in 1997, they walked down the aisle to say I do.

The finer details of the wedding, including location and exact date, are not presently available to the public. One thing, however, is true about the marriage, and it is the fact that Erin’s parents love and respect each other. That love and respect is the primary reason the union has stood the test of time to last for over two decades and counting.

Erin Odenkirk Is Currently An Undergraduate

The celebrity child appears to be the only one of her family members who aren’t too enamored by the spotlight. She is notoriously private about her affairs. As such, not much is known about her formal education background except that she is currently an undergraduate at an unnamed University.

Still, in her early 20s, Erin has enough time to decide whether to go down the entertainment route like most of her family members or choose an entirely different career path. We’ll have to wait and see.

She Is Not The Only Child Of Her Parents

It’s important to point out that Erin Odenkirk is the baby of the Bob Odenkirk household. She has an older brother named Nathan ‘Nate’ Odenkirk. Born on December 3, 1998, Nate is an American actor, author, writer, and content creator who made his debut in the 2003 film titled Melvin Goes To Dinner.

He has also starred in a short movie titled Scrub and the TV series Rat Bastard. It’s abundantly clear that Erin’s older brother has already begun his journey as an actor and certainly counts on the support of his similar-minded family members to aid his success in the quite competitive movie industry.

Erin Odenkirk Is Not Active On Social Media

It looks like Erin Odenkirk’s aversion to the spotlight extends even to the social media space, as the celebrity child doesn’t have any Instagram, Twitter, or any related social media handle. There are also only a few media images of her online.

By contrast, her father, Bob Odenkirk, can be found with not one but 2 Instagram pages, namely @therealbobodenkirk with almost 500k followers and @odenkirkstagram with close to 300k followers. Similarly, on Twitter, he is recognized by the handle @mrbobodenkirk, with nearly 1 million followers. The contents he posts on these social media pages have to do mostly with his work in the movie industry.
