Save a quick tweet I didn't get the chance to properly wish one of our favorite actors, Mr. Jonathan Tucker, a happy birthday yesterday - he turned 35 and the third and final season of his show Kingdom premiered all at once! I got to thinking about all the wonderful, electric work he's gifted us with so far and I realized this'd be a fine time for a list! So here's a list of why I love watching him, and I'm not even talking about his abs for once! Dude's got talent to spare.
My 5 Favorite Jonathan Tucker Performances

"I wonder what they're gonna call me... You know, the Iroquois used to
eat their enemies to take their strength. Maybe your murders will become
my murders... I'll be the Chesapeake Ripper now. "

His performance in the pilot/movie High Moon. I really liked the eccentricities of that show and wish that it had been picked up for a full series run, but then we wouldn't have Constance Wu in Fresh Off The Boat, lol. Even though it didn't get picked up I'll always remember Tucker as the gay robot spy with his Russian lover on the moon.
Excellent pick, FieldMedic!
I so wish that show had been turned into an actual show!
Jay Kulina is my hero.
My favorite of his performances is, hands down, Jay Kulina. That character is so deep and utterly well executed.
I know this is an old post but I thought I'd add to it anyway. I had seen Tucker in a few roles but The Black Donnellys was the first time he really caught my eye. His talent just lept off the screen. I've been a fan of this amazingly adaptable actor ever since.
