“Seinfeld” nemesis hooks “Punisher” role
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - “Seinfeld” veteran Wayne Knight is in negotiations to join the cast of “Punisher: War Zone,” an action movie based on the Marvel Comics character.
Ray Stevenson already is on board to portray the titular vigilante. Shooting is scheduled to begin in October in Montreal. Lexi Alexander will direct the Lionsgate project.
Knight would play Microchip, the Punisher’s armorer and confidant — the man who supplies him with his stockpile of weapons and one of the few people who knows the Punisher’s true identity. Knight, who played Jerry’s portly nemesis Newman on “Seinfeld,” next will be seen in the indie feature “Throwing Stars.”
Also in talks for roles are Dominic West and Doug Hutchison. West (”300″) would play the Punisher’s archenemy known as Jigsaw, a mob assassin whose face was torn to shreds and stitched back together like a jigsaw puzzle.
