Marvel has today announced five additional cast members to their
original Netflix series The Punisher, which will stream globally on
Netflix in 2017.
The new casting additions include Daniel Webber, Jason R.
Moore, Jaime Ray Newman, Paul Schulze, and Michael Nathanson.
The quintet joins Jon Bernthal as the titular anti-hero, Deborah
Ann Woll who reprises her Marvel’s Daredevil role as Karen Page, Ben
Barnes as Billy Russo, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Micro, and Amber Rose Revah as
Dinah Madani.
Daniel Webber ("11.22.63") has been cast as Lewis Walcott, a young veteran who
has had a difficult time re-assimilating into Civilian Society.
Jason R. Moore ("A Lonely Place for Dying")
joins as Curtis Hoyle, a friend of Frank Castle’s and one of the few people who
knows he is alive.
Jaime Ray Newman ("Bates Motel") plays Sarah
Lieberman, Micro’s wife (played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach) whose marriage has made
her life far more complicated.
Paul Schulze ("Nurse Jackie") will play
Rawlins, a high-ranking member of the CIA whose operations in Afghanistan
intersect with Frank Castle.
Michael Nathanson ("The Knick," "Wolf
of Wall Street") has been cast as Sam Stein, a Homeland agent who is
challenged by his partnership with Dinah (Amber Rose Revah).
"We couldn't have asked for a more talented group
of actors to round out the cast of Marvel's
The Punisher,"
said Executive Producer and showrunner Steve Lightfoot. "It's a
thrill to watch them each bring their characters to life with such layered,
nuanced performances."
"Marvel TV is very proud of the cast of The
Punisher," said Executive Producer Jeph Loeb, "Each actor brings a
special promise who surround Jon Bernthal's exceptional performance."

Daredevil," "Marvel’s Jessica Jones" and "Marvel’s Luke
Cage") will also serve as Executive Producer along with Jeph Loeb
