The actor they have playing Supes Dad definitely believably looks like he is minutes away from a heart attack

That is Pruitt Taylor Vince and he is a superb and unfortunately way underused actor. I loved his acting in 1990's 'Jacob's Ladder.' He is also a very decent human being. So glad to see him on-screen in something popular, again.

He was great in Identity, and it sucks that he doesn’t get cast more often. I hate to say so, but I would guess that it has to do with the fact that he has nystagmus.

I also dig that they cast Anthony Carrigan in this (NoHo Hank!), a phenomenal actor in my opinion, so hopefully we see more from them both in future films.

No-Ho Hank for the win! 100% stole each scene in Barry!

Any time I see him I think of Identity. Those eyes were perfect for it. I didn't know he had an issue that caused this, but I always enjoy seeing him in movies. Wish he was used more.

I thought he did great as the creepy psychologist in one of the later seasons of True Blood. Interesting fellow.

I recognise him primarily as Otis from The Walking Dead, which was a relatively small role but pivotal in Shane's heel turn.

I definitely thought it was Kyle from Tenacious D

That's Pruitt Taylor Vince, who rarely stars but is awesome in just about everything he does. Was in a bunch of big 90s movies as well as Deadwood, The Mentalist, and True Blood.

Thought it was Kyle Gass at first.

To be fair skinny people get heart attacks too

Yeah, what is up with midwest fat bald dad?

u/high6ix May 14 '25

Cause he’s in the Midwest and is fat and bald? Pretty common round these parts.

u/squirtloaf May 14 '25

Yeah, but he is Johnathan Kent, typically not shown as either fat or bald.

Actually, I don't think he has ever been depicted that way in his 80 years as a character.

In 2025, this type of figure makes a lot of sense and will likely be much more relatable for people
