QUOTES: In the acceptance video, Odenkirk thanks IMDb fans and IMDbPro users for the “Icon” STARmeter award, saying, “Thank you for checking out all my projects on IMDb—there are too many to count. Everything I get to do is because of you.” Odenkirk shared one of his favorite career memories, creating the iconic “motivational speaker” character, Matt Foley, with Chris Farley, saying, “I wrote the sketch, and we performed it on stage, seven shows a week for two months. It debuted on SNL a year later—it was pure awesomeness.”
