Ghost Recon BreakpointandPunisheractor Jon Bernthal, who alsoappeared inGhost Recon: Wildlands, revealed in an interview that he is interested in playing another video game character. However, this one comes from a Nintendo franchise, and surprisingly, it’s Little Mac from thePunch-Outseries. During this interview, the Colonel Cole D. Walker actor inGhost Recon Breakpointalso spoke about his fondness for games from the ’80s.
When asked about who he’d like to play from a video game series, Bernthal said that he has been playingMike Tyson’s Punch-Outwith his kids. As a result, Bernthal said he would like to portray Little Mac because “he’s really small, but that would be really cool I think — his rise up through the ranks.”

Additionally, Bernthal expressed interest in starring in aCastlevaniafilm. Right now,Netflix is airing its ownCastlevaniaanimated show, with the show being two seasons in, but the addition of Bernthal is something that would likely be welcomed by many fans.
Regardless, Bernthal’s choice of Little Mac is a fairly unusual choice. Bernthal, whoserole inGhost Recon Breakpointis quite prominent, could now be considered a very prolific actor. Having starred in twoGhost Recongames, Bernthal has also displayed his acting chops inThe Walking Dead,Daredevil,The Wolf of Wall Street,Baby Driver,Fury, and more.
Bernthal is no stranger to lending his talents to video games, though. Before his role in theGhost Reconseries, Bernthal also had a role inCall of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Starring as Corporal Jim Decker, he was playable in the game’s Exo Zombies mode. The role may not have been as involved, but it nonetheless likely acquainted the star with acting in the gaming industry.
Bernthal previously stated that acting inGhost Recon Breakpointwas more challenging than television and movies, making it comparable to theatre and plays. In the face of this, all available evidence suggests that Bernthal was able to turn in a compelling performance as the villainous Colonel Walker inGhost Recon Breakpoint.Whether Bernthal will return for futureGhost Reconinstallments is currently unknown.
Ghost Recon Breakpointis currently available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
