Arthur Bishop

Arthur Bishop is the main protagonist of the The Mechanic series of films. Though, he's the protagonist, he is more of an anti-hero or outright villain due to his occupation as a ruthless hitman. In the third film, however, he is portrayed more heroically.

In the original film, he is portrayed by the late Charles Bronson. In the 2011 remake and its sequel, he is portrayed by Jason Statham.
