Before Breaking Bad, did anyone know who he was?
Seems like a good actor.
Yet for his whole career before Breaking Bad (which spanned decades), how did he never get attention?

I remember him from "Airplane" (1980) because I recognized him from various TV shows and TV movies where he was a supporting actor, usually playing a thug type. He really shined in "Beverly Hills Cop" where he gets under Axel's skin.
I can see why Millennials and younger peeps would only have Breaking Bad as their first exposure to Jonathan but they probably saw him in movies like "Flipper" but just didn't realize it was him.

He’s also changed a lot as he aged. I am rewatching Gremlins for like the 100th time today and just realized he is one of the officers in the precinct. He looked nothing like he looks now. share
Yes , I knew him from Airplane, he had such an iconic role
shareYup, he was funny in "Freejack", but I didn't see him in anything from then until BB..
shareHe was on an 80s organized crime show called Wiseguy.
shareI’m sure I saw him in a few movies as a kid in the 90s.
shareSure. This guy was in all sorts of stuff. But I tell ya. Until finding this post just now, I've never known his name.
