Jon Bernthal is one of those quietly amazing actors, and that was no different in his portrayal of Shane Walsh, Rick Grimes’ former best friend-turned-enemy in the first two seasons of The Walking Dead.
And with several upcoming projects including the TV adaptation of American Gigolo and The Many Saints Of Newark (the long-awaited prequel film to The Sopranos), it looks like we’ll be seeing more of Bernthal for years to come.
Since leaving the series, Bernthal has become one of the most prolific actors of our time with bit roles in a number of instant-classics as well as Frank Castle on the Netflix Marvel series Daredevil and Punisher.
The role was suspected to be short-lived from the jump, but there are times when you can’t help but miss the gravity Shane brought to many of the situations early on in the series.
