Jon Bernthal (The Accountant 2, The Bear, Real Ones) is an Emmy Award-winning actor and podcast host. Jon joins the Armchair Expert to discuss making peace with the beard, how looking like a real person has been an asset in his career, and teaching his kids to not react to negative emotions. Jon and Dax talk about the positive values he was exposed to growing up in a Quaker school, keeping an anger journal through boxing, and the impact of attending acting school in Russia. Jon explains playing baseball in Moscow to make some extra rubles, he and his brothers outgrowing their issues, and the meaning he gleans from talking to real ones on his podcast.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm joined by Lily Padman. Hi. Today, we have one of my favorite actors on. I've been slowly becoming obsessed with him.
I got a handful that I follow that I'm really intrigued by, and this is one of them, Jon Bernthal.
I'll be honest, because that's what we do here. When I first saw him, I was like, oh, I don't know who that is. And then as soon as I saw his face, I was like, oh, I do. He's in everything.
He's in absolutely everything. I think so many, most people will probably know The Walking Dead because it was such an enormous hit.
And he was in King Richard.
Yeah, King Richard. And everything. The Punisher. He is The Punisher. The accountant with your boyfriend.
Mm-hmm.
Daredevil, Fury, and he has a new movie in theaters now, The Accountant 2.
Also with my boyfriend.
