Fresh Air · Actor Jon Bernthal on grit, dedication & the teacher who saved him · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

I think just like what you were talking about with, you know, Mr. Nolan in the beginning, I would have done anything Alma told me to do.

I wanted this.

It didn't take long.

I auditioned for that play.

And I remember telling my best friend, Greg Zumis that summer, I remember sitting down with him when we had, you know, we were, we were delivering pizzas at the beach.

And I remember telling him, man, this is what I, what I have to do.

This is what I'm going to do.

Like there's no question.

And I think number one,

you know, this sort of private school kid from D.C.

who thought he was all big and bad, you know, getting out and really seeing the world and seeing Moscow, I think, would be enormously humbling and just be a reality check that I needed.

I think she also knew that I needed to kind of get away from all the people that I was with and that it was, you know, a group of young men that sort of crave danger is much different than one man on his own.

But mostly...

You know, Russia is and was a place with such a rich theatrical history where being an actor is such a serious profession.

You can't do it without real rigorous training.

There's statues of actors, you know, in the city.

It's much more akin to being a soldier.

Absolutely.

Of course.

I mean actors have been assassinated.
