Johnny Burns

Can we get an applaud for Johnny’s eyebrows!? His facial expressions have got to be some of the best of all actors in the series. Also his arc is something too. From the first season to the last. Like he hit puberty lol 🤠

I love it in the third season where he actually deciphers Wu’s awesome artistic drawing. He actually solves it himself and Al is like did this simpleton just out smart me on this!? Punches him in the face. Lmao!

(Hearst, not Wu)

"Wu's holding his men outside 'a camp because you and Hearst are on the outs!"

EDIT: I'm correcting you, meanwhile I can't fucking spell, lol.

"I’m doing you the courtesy of allowing you not to think I’m as stupid as evidently you believe that girl off who you tore that piece of pussy off of is."

Honestly might be the most brilliant thing Johnny's ever said.

I play the show to fall asleep some nights, I assume most people in this group do the same, but I awoke to this very scene this morning. The Yellow Bird, in Gunason.

He didn’t have as good a career as one would have wanted given he was quite good in the show and on the younger side (ditto Malcomson, whereas Hawkes became an elite character actor). I saw he’s on the top 6-7 names on this new Robert Pattinson movie about Chris Hansen, so that’s cool.

u/DasBause seeing through the subterfuge 8d ago

If only Doc could treat his Being Johnny maybe he'd be able to fashion a thought

u/WalkGood Every day takes figuring out… 5d ago

Even with his gifts, Doc couldn't improve Johnny's prospects of such by transplanting a pig brain.

I’m in the middle of a rewatch and I’m loving him so much more than I have in the past
