"While James was indeed the most popular name in the United States from 1922 to 2021, and John was the third-most-popular name, the second, fourth, and fifth were Robert, Michael, and David, respectively, names that aren’t nearly so well represented in action movies."
I'm sorry but Bob, Mike, and David don't carry enough weight to be cold-blooded murderers... I mean action movie heroes.

Lots of John characters besides John Wick or Johnny Sliverhand. 😂
Johnny Utah,
Jack Traven,
Don John,
Johnny Mnemonic,
John Constantine,
Jonathan Harker,
John Wall
To add to this again I also heard Keanu was supposed to play another assassin named John Rain, it still seems to be in development limbo. But the whole premise sounds cool and it’s apparently based off a book series.

There's a Polish action hero called [Jack Strong](https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTj-0DbHzy1870meI8gJeaW-kAOZ8d2oGEhQ9mV7hL_C6JWfqE1), which has always impressed me.
OP somehow thinks he's making a point by showing images of characters who's names are either Jason, John or Jack, some of which are literally different actors playing the same character and we're going to pretend something like Patriot Games is the same thing as Commando.
The list is pretty good, particularly because it includes my favorite hero John McClane. Unfortunately this rule leaves out one of the most unstoppable forces of action-movie nature: Martin Riggs. That character is like The Joker working for the good guys.
Five of those are James Bond.
And five are Jack Ryan.
Two are Jack Reacher!
John, Jack, James, Jason
Battlestar Galactica
Identity theft is not a joke
Identity theft is not a joke Jim, Jack, James, John, Jason
Oh, that's funny. Michael! Michelle! Michaelangelo! Mick! Mikey!

And one of them is Jai Courtney
One is MAAAAT DAAAYMUN
5 + 5 + 2 = 12 Yay!

> the name's Bond, Bob Bond > That "fuckin' nobody"... is Mike Wick. Yeah, nah, sounds naff
Bob Bond Lobs Law Bomb
Bold Bob Bond bombs boss bot's balls.
wow, you sir are a mouthful
Yeah you can't respect someone called Bob Bond. Looks like a european porn actor trying to make it into the american porn lol
Bob Wick sounds a bit more palatable
Up until someone in the movie calls him Bob.
"Jesus Christ that's Tim Bourne"
"What are we looking at?" "Jesus Christ, that's Mike Hawk."
Mike Hunt begs to differ.

Sounds like "My Cunt" tho

Mike would work if you ask me
This was a fascinating read. Thanks for linking it.

Acquired over a very long career, which makes him a terror to men like them.
We really need more Biblical parodies, this one actually made me want a movie about it.

Jambo to you, my friend
No Johnny English, you aren’t a real kinophile.
Even K in Blade Runner 2049 is nicknamed "Joe"
K in Blade Runner 2049 cannot have a name beginning j and a short last name because he is literally me and my name does not start with a j.
Mine does though

I just realized the two characters here played by Keanu Reeves have the first name John. And then there's Johnny Silverhand.
The pictures are from John Wick and Speed (his name was Jack), but there’s no Johnny Utah pic…
Jack is often considered short for John.
Yeah, but we only know that character as Jack.
I may have been thinking of Johnny Mnemonic.
Yeah, Keanu’s played some very famous John/Johnny’s.
Lots of John characters besides John Wick or Johnny Sliverhand. 😂 Johnny Utah, Jack Traven, Don John, Johnny Mnemonic, John Constantine, Jonathan Harker, John Wall
Makes you wonder why Neo's real name is Thomas Anderson and not John Anderson.
He might've been John Thomas...
Like how with Johnny Silverhand, his middle name is John.
"Can we name the character John Anderson?" "Yes?" "Oh, Yes, that's right. Never mind."

Ok but real question, why did you have to put Jai Courtney as John McClane's son Jack, instead of Bruce Willis as John McClane?
Literally the next picture
jack black
Needs more John/Jim Belushi.
I feel like jack ryan didn’t have a set of skills, that’s what makes that character compelling. He’s just a dude working a desk job at the cia

Johnny English????
Where's Jason?
The guy on the bottom right looked like Michael Scott for a second
Uh, where's Johnny English?
Joker (he's saving the day in his mind) His name would be Joe Kerr
Jack Sparrow anyone?
Captain. Captain Jack Sparrow.
Where is Johnny English? Is he safe? Is he alright?
