[@Shoewearer20211]

I fu(king love fury

[@nopancakemix570]

Charming dude. That's the kinda guy you go for beers with.

[@landontokiwa810]

Man...... Jon Bernthal's career just took off fast after The Walking Dead........ Wolf of Wall Street, Fury, and now Punisher in Daredevil!!! He also seems like the coolest most humble dude!!!

[@Cerberusballs]

Frank Castle. FRANK FUCKING CASTLE!!

[@fganima]

Cerberusballs I just read it on Facebook. Gonna make a good Punisher I think!!!

[@amazin465]

I MISS SHANE

[@gvmce]

SAME

[@SarcasticSyringe]

He was a dick but his death scene was still so sad

[@heronofheaven]

I hope i can have a voice like him.

[@KittyClaws]

I have to be honest. When he said he started to bang his head against the police car window to get the casting director's attention, I yelled at my computer "YOU IDIOT! DO YOU NOT WATCH COPS!?" lmao. I still love you though, Jon.

[@bones22j]

If you guys love this actor so much, stop with the "he'll always be Shane Walsh" stuff. He's dead on that show now, so let his career flourish, and let's see what other roles he's awesome at. If you type cast him, nobody will want to hire him for more work unless he's playing Shane Walsh (which actually would be awesome to see again because he was seriously the best actor in the fist two season of TWD) lol.

[@patrickranes9998]

Lol 6 years later and people are saying the same about The Punisher

[@rofaca]

Man I fucking hated Shane on The Walking Dead. He's a great actor.

[@ashleymccammon]

Jon bernthal is one cool dude

[@hartistry1957]

He was eye to eye with Brad's Pit;)

[@Harbingerintheflesh]

"M' ask u sumthin" (rubs head).

[@wildhopeXx]

i love that jon has the voice of a 25 year old

[@Cursed_Mark]

THE PUNISHER

[@benthieme6981]

I can't wait to see his performance as the Punisher. So excited :)

[@brikan777]

"let em wotch"

[@Bodyslammingpixels]

Ladies and Gentleman: Frank Castle.

[@mzdesert126]

Now that's good casting , i always thought shane could be like an anti-hero , and who's better than Punisher , Jon FTW

[@crankyermine6]

What?! Shane was already killed as a person and as a zombie? What is this?!?

[@Pathway244]

The best actor in the walking dead!!!

[@aries4961]

[@SkyeIsaacRain2]

Yikes? He's an amazing actor..

[@jcarey1983]

Kesha X MackZ he really isn't

[@darkOmniRa02]

Nah nan he's gonna be so good. Based on Shane in Walking Dead, he can really play dark, intense characters who takes things to the extremes.

[@hshaihfjajdjwjnxn]

Chazz palmtrri is the weasel from mob of the dead from black ops 2 call of duty

[@PriscillaOpokuYeboah]

He shouldn't have cut the sides of his hair so low

[@14awesom]

SHANE

[@justinbardales7612]

[@neverrai5357]

[@MyNameIsJoure]

SHANE

[@swimmonster6496]

no way that story is real. they get a call about somebody talking to themselves so they arrest him with guns drawn? not buyin it

[@adamhunter7141]

What kind of hair cut does he have?

[@YoungBaka]

Shanecut

[@YoungBaka]

Fade or some sort of fade

[@Bombshell347]

He got a long ass head

[@wesleychhun525]

First comment!

[@trollingk1ngmaster921]

First comment!

[@yankeelady731]

His lack of completing a sentence was the first clue that I won't watch this movie.... Can't even watch the whole interview. Omg

[@MyNameIsJoure]

if Jimmy wasn't cutting his answers halfway thru it would maybe be different.

[@HazeGreyAndUnderway]

The movie is supposed to have a pretty good plot line. Don't let one late night interview stop you from seeing a movie.

[@Pumpkin0_0]

To be honest, that's a stupid way of thinking, yankee.

[@hallmark1]

I miss Shane! Show sucked since he left :(
