Jon Bernthal was cast as Frank Castle/The Punisher for Season Two of Daredevil. He spoke about it in a recent interview.
"I'm extremely honored and grateful, and I know the character has a ton of fans out there. I give every single one of them my word that I'm going to give it my all," Bernthal said about the fan favorite character.
Bernthal is looking forward to being part of a TV series again. After all, it's been three years since he parted ways with "The Walking Dead." And although he's longer on the show, Bernthal says he keeps up with a lot of his pals.
"The cast and crew in Atlanta -- they're family to me. I'm still enormously close to Norman Reedus, Andrew Lincoln and Steven Yeun," said Bernthal, adding, "We had a very humble beginning. We had no idea that it was going to be what it was when we started and I treasure that and I think they still treasure that there. We had no idea if anybody was going to watch."
Nowadays, Bernthal is enjoying sitting on other side of the television, watching "The Walking Dead" from afar.
"I think the challenge is for the guys now is to keep the integrity of the show that it started with...I think they've been very successful at doing that. It's really cool now to sit back and be a fan...That's sort of the best part of dying from that show is no more scripts no more knowing what's going to happen. Every time I talk to those guys I gotta make them promise not to tell me everything."
