I went to Skidmore College, and worked with Alma Becker, especially in my senior year when she cast me in her production. She meant the world to me, and made a world of difference while I was going through a difficult time. She absolutely mentioned Jon Bernthal, and how wonderful he was, and I’m privileged to have worked with her. She passed away several months after I worked with her, but she will always be an important and meaningful part of my life. It warmed my heart to hear Jon mention that wonderful woman.

Badass teacher story. If your student has their name tattooed on them because of your impact on them, you’ve reached Boss Level.

[IsabelS_Fuyu]

Jon's shoutout and acknowledgement of Teachers and Educators is so nice as an Educator myself ☺️ his story about Alma making such an impact on his passion and learning is what educators should strive for! It reminded me of when I had the chance to work and educate young children from my Filipino culture. I had the opportunity to speak Tagalog regularly in Preschool with them and even though they were 3/4 years old it was still awesome getting them to experience and highlight an important part of their cultural identity they even learned a little bit of Tagalog to speak a little back to me ☺️

Jon is literally the nicest man I’ve ever met. I spread it around everywhere I can. Truly a gem.

[HM-bokx]

Jon Bernthal brought up an important point about the role of educators in one's journey of life. It's a blessing to have a guiding hand that leads you to the direction of self-fulfillment.

[DavisComicFinds]

Jon impressed me when I met him at a convention several years back. Been a huge fan ever since. Such a nice genuine guy.

[mattjohnson]

Seems like such a genuine person. One of my favorite episodes.

[AttilatheThrilla]

Jon always nails every role he plays.. Kudos for that Teacher to encourage him to go into acting

[tommyshelby]

My school, college and university teachers helped me alot in several ways by guiding the right path or encouraging to do what I was planning or even helping me to shape my goals.
Teachers are Gem and we should respect them.
The relation between student and teacher is sacred. From both sides there should be mutual respect and try our best to support each other.

Beautiful. Lost doesn't mean untalented or with no potential. Lost just means that you need a nudge in the right direction. There are truly some wonderful people in the schooling system that understand this and go unrecognized, but they exist, and I'm thankful that Jon found one.

[AaronEllisOfficial]

Jon bernthal is becoming one of my favorite actors esp as a person off screen. He's so self aware, and introspective and retrospective... He genuinely seems like an amazing person to be around. Not saying he doesn't have skeletons in his closet cause he definitely could, I really don't know as we never know about most people, but on surface level, and the more I watch and listen to him, he impresses me in a way I've not experienced with other actors

[martronix]

Jon MUST be on Barry next season. The antagonist.

[akairborne]

That's an educator. Sounds like an amazing and incredible person.

[urbonx]

He is so freaking good doing dramatic characters.

[calacestar]

Everytime I see this man I think "Could he be more attractive?"
And every next time I see him I go "Yes, he can."

And then there is Jon Bernthal

[teebles]

His teacher truly saved him... I thought it was a very touching story actually... seriously cool guy... gotta check out his pod when I get the chance.

[beaviswashere]

He tattooed his teachers name on his arm! So f-ing awesome I was crying! So many teachers deserve that, we should all be covered in teacher tattoos!

Edit: I'm 57 and want to say thank you to Mrs. Bires my Second grade teacher, She should be on my arm!

[dillonr]

Great Actor and Human Being. Much Love John and you too Coco. 😉😂

[HLLSNGL]

Jon Bernthal is such a great role model. Shout out to Mr Campbell, my 5th grade teacher at Glen Oaks Elementary for getting me hooked on mythology/folk tales and for being a great human being.
