As a dedicated fan of superhero films and TV shows, I must say that this past week has been an absolute rollercoaster ride! With Tom Hardy’s captivating performance in Venom: The Last Dance and Colin Farrell’s stellar work in The Penguin, it seems like the best of both worlds have collided.
Currently, comic book-based films and series continue to dominate, as Sony-Marvel’s “Venom: The Last Dance” fills cinemas, while DC’s “The Penguin” garners critical acclaim on HBO. Most superhero enthusiasts would acknowledge that Venom 3 and The Penguin differ significantly in their themes and mood; nevertheless, they have a similarity: outstanding lead actor performances by Tom Hardy (Venom) and Colin Farrell (The Penguin), which are crucial to the success of each series.
Additionally, there seems to be an intriguing, eerie link between “Venom: The Last Dance” and “The Penguin”, notably in Episode 6 that was broadcasted over the weekend Venom 3 premiered.
Did You Spot The Same Actor In Venom 3 & The Penguin?
Actor Jared Abrahamson experienced an eventful week for an up-and-coming performer: he appeared in a minor part in “Venom: The Last Dance” as Captain Forrest, a character from Imperium; additionally, he secured a recurring role in The Penguin, portraying “Squid,” a local gang leader and drug dealer based in the impoverished Crown Point district.
In Venom 3, Captain Forrest, portrayed by Abrahamson, played a supporting role alongside General Rex Strickland (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Throughout most of the movie, he functioned as Strickland’s right-hand man within the Imperium military. However, during the third act, the symbiote god Knull unleashes his Xenophage monsters on Imperium’s base at Area 51. This event leads to the death or withdrawal of almost every Imperium team member. The movie does not reveal what happens to Forrest after this point; although his Wikipedia page claims he is still alive.

In Episode 6, Jared Abrahamson’s character, Squid, received significant attention due to his storyline involving Penguin’s associate, Victor Aguilar (played by Rhenzy Feliz). The climax of their relationship unfolded when Squid persuaded Victor to arrange an introduction to the Penguin. When Squid resorted to threatening Victor with betrayal to the police or rival gangs, Victor responded drastically by shooting Squid in the neck. Abrahamson delivered a gripping death scene as Squid bled out in an alley, a performance that undoubtedly adds excitement to his showreel. Moreover, Abrahamson is currently basking in the limelight from having two high-profile projects airing concurrently.
Previously, Jared Abrahamson has made appearances in the indie comedy “On the Count of Three,” alongside Jarrod Carmichael and Christopher Abbott. He also played recurring roles in the Hulu series “Letterkenny” and “Ramy,” as well as Apple TV+’s “The Changeling.” Most notably, Jared gained recognition for his starring role in Netflix’s “Travelers,” a time-travel sci-fi drama-mystery series that ran from 2016 to 2018.
