Bernthal's blockbuster summer has fans revisiting a modern thriller classic
Jon Bernthal is enjoying one of the biggest years of his career. Between high-profile roles in The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day — easily two of the biggest movies of the summer — the actor has become one of Hollywood's most in-demand supporting stars.

And don't forget his scene-stealing work in FX's critically acclaimed series, The Bear.
