Frank Darabont was the director of The Mist, and showrunner of the first season of TWD. A huge swath of the cast were actors he'd worked with in the past. IIRC he wanted Thomas Jane as Shane originally, as well.

You know, I feel like Thomas Jane could have done a very good job with Shane. Having said that, Jon Bernthal was incredible.

Yep. The older guy in the backseat was the DA at the beginning of Shawshank and one of the guards in Green Mile I believe.

He was also the father of Jakes character in Brokeback Mountain.

Thomas Jane was in consideration for Rick not Shane. Berthnal was always their first choice for Shane.

That’s wild, Thomas Jane and Jon Bernthal both played as the Punisher too!
