Bernthal is severely underrated as an actor. Connecting emotionally, dude has it. Watch the graveyard scene in Daredevil Season 2, his monologue is as heartbreaking and real as it gets.

[@CMDolojan]

Everyone i want to watch daredevil i show them that scene

[@xmxh9596]

He was my favorite character on Walking Dead. As soon as he was gone the show tanked.

[@kevinb5417]

When I saw that scene, I realized that Jon Bernthal has some of the best chops in the business. He's quickly ascended to being my favorite actor.

[@andohish27]

Dude he brings it. I just saw him in Shot Caller and he nails it. I love how badass and intense he is.

[@villemkalme9248]

Yeah his performance in Fury was real emotional too

[@IronBuddha80]

Jon Bernthal has slowly grown on me as one of my most favorite actors. He needs to be a much bigger known actor than he is.

[@Guero96]

I think the Punisher has made him popular. Everyone I know has seen that show, and he was tremendous on there.

[@BigBoss-lu9lo]

the walking dead made him the most popular

[@flllopakk]

[@Air51]

Bernthal is a role model for men everywhere and his respect for people and understanding of the mechanics of human nature and human behaviour is a masterclass in any of his interviews.

[@mrob456]

Beranthal is the best Punisher hands down. That primal grunt when he is detaching souls. I feel it, man.

[@gweiloxiu9862]

Strong, sensitive, hardbit, smart men shooting the shit. This is what masculinity is. Good to see men being men without reservation.

Jon Bernthal is one of the rawest actors. He makes you feel every emotion as an actor (specifically The Punisher). I’ve never felt that about any other actor, he’s definitely got something special. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@micah3213]

Before watching this, I knew he was an actor, but WHILE WATCHING I totally forgot this guy was an actor, it's unbelievable how relatable he is to everyone. He literally acts and talks like one of the best friends you had growing up, the one who doesn't judge anyone and is comfortable in his own skin. Holy shit. I am officially a Jon Bernthal fan. Love the man and respect the f*ck out of him.

[@helen9289]

and he isn't acting on these pod casts he is just being Jon Bernthal

[@BrianCheng24]

Honestly Walking Dead went down hill quick after Jon Bernthal left. He made the first two seasons very special because of his dynamic acting. Just my humble opinion.

Vega Valentine Rick has gone full Shane. I think Shane is coming back as a reminder and spirit of what Rick has become, that would be a good exit for rick too since he is already quieting the show.

Bernthal is great. I smile, because when he is asked a simple question, he gives a whole back story lol The question was "Was boxing what you did first, before acting", his answer was to hype up his friend xD None of this is my business, but I wish I could have a conversation with Jon Bernthal. Like putting yourself out as I did, going on auditions, taking classes, being....man, no one prepares you for that realization that the one thing you saw yourself doing (acting), is the top thing you're bad at. So I kept trying and kept trying....still some how I got worse at acting. From age 4 to age 27 or 28, I got worse, they say it takes 20 years to make an actor...but never say anything about that not about getting worse. I started to question what do people do with their hands when playing a character on stage. Who asks such a thing? Someone who can't just be. smh. Mad respect to Bernthal for his stuff, and Punisher should have gotten another season.
