A bit about Jon Bernthal (a.k.a Shane Walsh)

Throughout his career, Jon Bernthal has moved between television, film and theatre.  Jon starred in the ABC supernatural drama, Eastwick, and also appeared in Tom Hank’s The Pacific.  Jon’s film credits include the feature film Date Night,  Roman Polanski’s The Ghost Writer (starring Ewan McGregor) and Night at the Museum.  Jon Bernthal also has his own award-winning theatre company, Fovea Floods.
Jon Bernthal plays Shane Walsh, Rick’s partner in the sheriff’s department, and his best friend since high school.  Shane helped to save Lori and Carl by getting them to Atlanta and out of their small town.  Among the group of survivors Shane has become the de facto leader, a position he enjoys- he always lived in Rick’s shadow, and while he never consciously resented it, he’s relishing his newfound position of authority.
