Marvel And Netflix's THE PUNISHER Casts GIRLS Actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach As Micro; Jigsaw Confirmed
Two supporting roles for Marvel and Netflix's Daredevil spinoff, The Punisher, have been filled: Frank Castle's sidekick, Micro, and a Homeland Security agent named Dinah Madani. More past the jump.
Marvel has officially announced that their Netflix Punisher TV series has added 2 new cast members, while also confirming the name of the character Chronicles of Narnia actor Ben Barnes will be playing.
Frank Castle's frequent comic book sidekick, Micro, will be played by Girls actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach. This take on the character is described as "a former NSA analyst whose secrets may be of great value to Frank Castle and everyone around them." Next, Amber Rose Revah (Indian Summers, Son of God) joins as an all-new character named Dinah Madani, who is "a highly-trained sophisticated Homeland Security agent who is vexed by the Punisher."
Finally, it turns out Ben Barnes is actually playing Billy Russo (Castle’s best friend from his days in the Special Forces. He runs a successful private military corporation called “Anvil.”), and not Bobby Saint as previously reported. As fans will surely be aware, Russo will eventually go on to become the villainous Jigsaw.
"We couldn’t be more thrilled about the remarkable talent joining Jon Bernthal in 'Marvel’s The Punisher.' Ebon, Ben and Amber are incredibly talented actors and we can’t wait to see them bring these characters to life,” said Jeph Loeb, Executive Producer and Marvel’s Head of Television.
