Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) was a unique character, working in local government while opposing the government. His diet almost solely consisted of meat, which made him ridiculous.
Offerman, 55, reflected on his Parks and Recreation character and what fans got wrong about him.
Nick Offerman Refuses to Play Another Ron Swanson
The sitcom ended in 2015 after seven seasons. The actor talked about how people viewed his mustached character with Variety.
"Ron is a smart and avid hunter, so they assumed he must be a misogynist," he explained. "They made a lot of incorrect assumptions, hoping to find an avatar for their ideologies. So that drew me in; I thought, ‘Well, no, if you pay attention, you’ll see that Ron is a feminist, or ‘Ron is a true libertarian. He’s the best man at a gay wedding.’"

The episodes tried to make this aspect of the character clear. His ex-wives were all strong women because that is his type. One of them were played by his real wife, Megan Mullally. He also had a lot of respect for Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) despite her loving working for the government.
Fans loved the character, but Offerman made sure not to play a similar one after the NBC show ended. It's not because he didn't have the opportunity.
"All these offers came in of, ‘OK, this isn’t Ron Swanson, but he’s an ex-Marine and he’s great at grilling,’" he revealed. "I was like, ‘That’s Ron Swanson.’ So I told my agents, ‘Let’s create some daylight and I’m just going to work at my wood shop for a while.’"
Offerman hosted a crafting competition show with Poehler called Making It. It was a perfect fit with his woodworking interest and a break from the character. Making It lasted for one season.
