He was also great as the crazy Australian in the Other Guys.

Honestly, didn't know much of his work. But reading up on him, seems like a very good man. RIP

Story lines were abruptly cut short in the second season (i.e. the Jewish plot).

So I decided to put on Punisher Warzone, which I haven't seen since it came out in theaters, to see if its better than I remember, and... so far (30 minutes in) its alot worse.
I remember Ray Stevenson being a far better Punisher than most give him credit for being.... he's a great actor, but the script is very bare bones for him to take and make a great scene from.
What REALLY blows my mind is that the production budget is billed to be $35 million, and this is feels like a higher-budget-direct-to-DVD movie for that 2008 era... while just 6 years later John Wick had a $20-30 million budget and looks like one of the best action movies you'd ever seen.
Dominick West has the best performance as the villain Jigsaw... who was a gangster, who punisher throws into a pit but he survives, and he has a 'takes bandages off his face and everyone is horrified scene.' If that sounds familiar you're not wrong because its a complete ripoff of the Joker's origin from Batman 1989, except this one isn't good at all.
Edit - Finished it, and it stays pretty consistently bad, though Ray Stevenson's few dramatic moments are memorable.
Of the 3 Punisher movies and 2-season Netflix series, I'm pretty sure this places 4th in the rankings. Would have to rewatch the 1989 Dolph Laundren movie to be sure.
If you want to watch a movie with Ray Stevenson in it to remember him I'd suggest avoiding this one.
