Jonathan Majors is expected to be in court today, facing misdemeanor charges of assault and harassment. If convicted, the actor could face up to a year in jail.
Only about a year ago, Majors was considered to be one of Hollywood's most promising rising stars. The 33-year-old actor, educated at the Yale School of Drama, was winning over audiences in prestigious TV shows and movies.
He was the hero of HBO's Lovecraft Country and the antagonist in Creed III, the blockbuster Rocky film. And Majors was set to break through as a mainstream celebrity after being cast as a major supervillain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He became the subject of numerous adoring profiles, including on NPR, where he was described as "the internet's boyfriend."
