He provides examples of:
- Mr. Fanservice:
- He's had the most shirtless scenes out of all the cast on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., showing off a toned physique. He's said, however, that he doesn't normally look like that and those scenes are planned well in advance so that he can work out in preparation.
- He was also featured in a People magazine spread due to female viewers liking his Tall, Dark, and Handsome looks.
- Pungeon Master: He certainly enjoys making puns on Twitter, especially when live-tweeting during an episode of AOS.
