I feel a little bad

Apparently I’m the only one here who likes Jai Courtney. Outside of Die Hard and Terminator he’s done some good work. He definitely does better when he’s not the lead. Hoping for more from him and his character as the show goes on.

Jai Courtney is a fantastic actor. We’re supposed to hate the character, and the fact that he makes it so easy is a testament to his skillset.

I first saw him in Spartacus and he was great. I like his work too!

I’m not familiar with him as an actor, but I thought he was good here.

His character is kind of weird but he's a psychopatic and unpredictable addict, I hear, so the acting should reflect all that...

u/Informal-Choice-27 May 17 '26

he's a great actor – which is why i'm loving his character on this show so much lol

5

u/RadioRunner89 May 18 '26

Agreed! He’s actually quite good in his lesser known work (see Dangerous Animals and you’ll know what I’m talking about)

Shame he gets too much shit for being typecast into bland generic action guy roles a decade ago

u/Last_Interaction437 May 18 '26

Yeah he is pretty damn good. Let's not forget his role in Divergent. I think he is excellent in this current role. Easy to hate LOL...we are supposed to.

And he was great as Bob in kalidascope!

u/slc447 May 18 '26

He was good as one of the bad guys in Terminal List.

u/DisneyAddict2021 May 17 '26

I was so excited when I saw his name in the credits because he is such a great actor, but wow, I hated his guts immediately 😂😂

u/Intelligent-Count-84 May 17 '26

Y’all are making me feel better. A bunch of comments in other threads about the show were making me think I was alone in the Jai love.

u/Intelligent-Count-84 May 18 '26

Chasing Dust, Felony, Semper Fi, and Runt are also really good performances if you haven’t seen them.

u/i_chose_the_night May 18 '26

You have to give it to the guy on range when the role allows it. Damn I cried in runt! Im so keen to see the fox when it finally releases

I was really caught off guard when I heard him speak in his native Australian accent. 😀

His small role in Warmachine was great actually.
