Thomas Jane Wants In On The Walking Dead
Thomas Jane is best known for his portrayal of Marvel’s Anti-Hero Frank Castle aka The Punisher in the 2004 action film which co-starred John Travolta. He also starred in Frank Darabont’s 2007 Sci-Fi Thriller The Mist. Today NBC Washington is reporting that Jane has had his eye on a Walking Dead role for quite sometime now.
Jane spent his Emmy night at dinner with “Walking Dead” director Frank Darabont, hatching out a plan to get on the show which begins airing on Oct. 31. If you haven’t heard the “Walking Dead” hype, you soon will. The story of life after a zombie apocalypse is going to be a monster success.
“I’m going to come on and do a guest thing,” he says. “Maybe play a bad guy.”
Alright, that’s just awesome. Jane also says that he’s seen “it” (possibly referring to the pilot episode) and that it’s “fan-f—-ing-tastic!”. The only thing that gets me is that when he says he will be playing a bad guy, the only bad guy I can think of is The Governor and putting The Governor in season 2 is pushing a lot of stuff too closely together. You have Atlanta Camp, the road, Farm and eventually the Prison. Combining all of that into season 2 would just be too much. So he’ll most likely be a new character for the TV show, if he plays a bad guy at all.

Actors are scrambling to get a piece of this beautiful, gory pie. I love it.
LOVE Thomas Jane! So flippin sexy in “The Punisher” another vigilante character like Norman Reedus’ in Boondock Saints. Now we just need Sean Patrick Flannery in Walking Dead and we’ll have the best of the gorgeous,drop dead sexy (okay bad pun) “natural born killers”…hopefully killing lots of zombies! WOOHOO!!! Can’t wait for the show so glad have DVR!!
His name is Thomas Jane, you gotta lose the “s” at the end.
And he’s also known for being the star of HBO’s “Hung” which is in its 2nd season right now.
I loved Thomas Jane in The Ounisher but he quit the second one to work on “more realistic” films. Then he does “Mutant Chronicles”. I can’t help but think of Jane as a Seagal-esque type of guy anymore, and I really don’t want him playing the Governor.
