Character Evaluation
Matt Ryan has created a solid Constantine image with his hairstyle, stubble, continuous low-happy atmosphere and instant self-control
. He exudes the low-key British working-class temperament required for the role of Constantine, which makes him look very grounded in the face of demons, angels and all kinds of freak humans
. Matt Ryan is very likable. As the devil hunter and master of black magic, John Constantine made the audience cheer. He deserves this role
.
The arrival of Matt Ryan marked a change in the vitality of the drama "Apricot Going Out of the Wall" and had a significant impact on its narrative. As a rising star, the Welsh actor has attracted attention for starring in the American drama "Constantine". Although he only starred in one season, Matt Ryan's highly acclaimed performance pushed him to the pop culture list. However, in terms of its popularity, Matt Ryan is not a newbie on stage, not even Broadway. At least from a cognitive perspective, the difference between the two is unorganized madness
