While it’s true that everyone is perfectly free to have their own opinions, others are free to point out just how wildly offbase those opinions might be. So it went after someone took to Reddit with an ostensibly innocent question asking others to list actors known for playing the same kinds of roles throughout their careers, and made the mistake of making the example a pic of Jon Bernthal , the past-and-future Punisher actor who’ll return to the role amidst the 2025 TV schedule . It was, shall we say, a real boneheaded move.
(Punisher skull pun intended.) Because not only did commenters quickly come to Bernthal’s defense with stacked-high piles of receipts from across his career, but they were also quick to call out the inquiring party for not knowing enough to be asking such a question. Bernthal fans don’t have time for this kind of short-sighted nonsense.
Here’s a small smattering of responses to the Reddit post that were mainly invested in pointing out how terrible the decision was to use a pic of the Walking Dead vet. OP used perhaps the worst example for this question. Bernthal has a ton of range.
- @Exotic_Adeptness4190 I think the people that say Bernthal plays only one type of character haven't actually watched a whole lot of his work. - @dqfilm19 You can tell op saw him in like 2 things and decided he only plays one character. - @sparklingdinoturd This guy isn’t 1 dimensional anymore.
He’s actually never been a terrible actor - @Constant-Refuse-74 Yeah.
