Charting a "Homeric" decades-long "Odyssey" from his origins in the seedy comedy clubs of Chicago all the way to a dramatic career that is baffling to his friends, it's almost like there are two or three Bob Odenkirks... but there is just one and one is enough, frankly. Bob embraced a life in comedy after a chance meeting...
