Who else agress that this guy is an underrated actor, possible the most underrated actor of all time. Seriously, the guy is insane, and so damned good. After watching Boogie Nights again, even though he's in it for just around the last third or so, he still steals the show for me. Not forgetting The Punisher either, he was incredible as Frank Castle, and really brought hope to the film becoming a franchise.

Though I liked the other two Punisher movies more, Jane didn't do THAT bad of a job. I think Travolta and Ben Foster killed it.

Jane is okay. Not the best Punisher at all (that goes to Ray Stevenson), but he's a good actor.

I say he is THE Punisher Got a great voice for it, especially based on the video game he voiced Whenever I read a Punisher comic, I imagine that's what he'd sound like

Yeah he was a great Punisher, never could get why people even liked the last Punisher... it was God awful It was amazing and possibly the BEST adaptation of The Punisher. It actually used characters from the comics and it didn't spend 3/4ths of its running time showing you the Punisher cry like a baby because his family was killed. It showed you WHAT the real Punisher would do if his family got killed. It's cheesy as hell, but its visual style is on par with the MAX series of the comics and it had tons of violence that the Punisher is so famous for. I prefer the dark and gritty streets of NYC to the sunny Florida. I prefer a bigger, older actor playing The Punisher. I prefer having a villain from the comics (Jigsaw) in addition to his (Punisher) trusty sidekick Micro! I liked the 2004 version, but I LOVED the 2008 version.

I like him a lot and I definitely second the Thursday recommendation. Also has Aaron Eckhart.
You guys should also check out HBO's Hung.

jane was amazing as punisher but the movie being in florida and changing the cause of his familys death were not good as well as they were building into him going to new york and everyone putting the movie in development hell ruined that
stevenson had the look for punisher and it was awesome having jigsaw and more violence
sooooo i guess combine the two movies and genetically fuse the two actors and we got a hit

Man, that Punisher movie was horrible. I like Thomas Jane, don't get me wrong, but his most memorable characters to me are Raiden and The Punisher, and he was horrible as both.

I've liked Jane's work for a while now, especially in a TV setting with 'Hung', which is quite good...His turn in 'Punisher' IMO was good as well, not to mention the best he could in Deep Blue Sea...

I like Thomas Jane a lot, but I don't really think he's more than an above-average actor.
That said, he was GREAT in 61*.
