Jon Bernthal showed off a new side of himself when the teaser trailer for Showtime’s upcoming American Gigolo series was released on Tuesday. The 45-year-old King Richard actor stars as a male esenyurt escort just emerging from prison after being incarcerated for 15 years for a wrongful murder conviction. The series is a remake of the 1980 classic of the same name, which stars Richard Gere in the lead role and was directed by Taxi Driver scribe Paul Schrader.
