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.
