The impression Winnipeg made on Bob Odenkirk

Speaking on a recent podcast, the ‘Nobody 2’ star shared what he liked about the city he recently filmed two movies in.

Hollywood actor Bob Odenkirk is giving Winnipeg a rave review.

In a recent episode of Seth Meyers’ podcast called “Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers,” Odenkirk spoke at length about the city, describing it as “an amazing, interesting place.”

He said Winnipeg is quiet and calm but added it could use a few more restaurants.

“It’s a bit of a curious place, because it’s pretty big—850,000 people live there,” he said, adding that his favourite area is Wolseley.

“It has some really beautiful neighbourhoods… It has a river running through it. It’s sort of a lazy river.”

Odenkirk went on to say it’s an easy place to film, as it can serve as a backdrop for many different locations.

“You can duplicate a modern city; you have these great suburbs, you have these suburbs that look like England, and you have this Exchange District,” he said.

Odenkirk added that he met a lot of great people in Winnipeg, including several musicians.

“I got some good friends there who I still talk to,” he said. “I liked it. I liked it in the same way I liked Albuquerque, which is that it takes a little while to get to know it. You have your favourite places, and the people are awesome.”

Odenkirk was in Winnipeg last year filming two movies, including “Nobody 2,” which opens in theatres this week.
