Jon Bernthal is typically known for the rough and tough roles hes played. Around these parts, you know him as Frank Castle from Netflixs The Punisher before that, he became a household name on AMCs The Walking Dead. Though his characters might be a little rough around the edges, it turns out hes as nice as can be in real life. Sunday evening, the actor went viral for having the most wholesome response to getting cut off in traffic.
The incident, if you can call it that, started when a tweeter mentioned she and her partner cut someone off in traffic. Instead of going full-on road rage, Bernthal gave a smile and a wave. Then he managed to find her on Twitter for the most wholesome interaction youll see on the internet.
I literally cut off a truck on accident earlier, expected him to flip me off but instead he takes his glasses off and smiles and its JON BERNTHAL???????

Though Netflix ended up sending The Punisher to the chopping block, Bernthal said last November hed be willing to return to the role if Marvel Studios managed to do the character right.
For me, with Frank, its really not whether we do it again or not, or whether I play him again or not, its about doing it right, Bernthal explained. I just care so much about getting him right, and thats kind of where it begins and ends with me. I just give want to give the folks whom he means so much to the Frank Castle that they deserve. Thats sort of where Im at with it. I love Frank. I always have, I always will.
Both seasons of The Punisher are now streaming on Netflix.
