Interview: Jon Bernthal talks The Walking Dead, and L.A. Noir

STARCASM: You will play the role of Joe Teague in L.A. Noir. Can you tell us a bit about the show?

JON: It’s about how dynamic a city L.A. was in the late ’40s, with the rampant Mafia, the police corruption, Bugsy Siegel, Mickey Cohen, jazz music, the Hollywood studio system – it’s all an interesting, dangerous, dark intense world full of some really brutal love stories. It’s really going to be a terrific piece.

And it’s Frank, man. The guy really knows what he’s doing. It’ll be a really special show. Who knows what’ll come of it, but I’m thrilled to jump in with him.

Shooting on L.A. Noir starts May 1. The show will premiere on TNT later this year. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled to the big screen for Jon Bernthal in the Rick Waugh-directed film Snitch. Production wrapped on the film starring Jon, Duane Johnson, Susan Sarandon, Benjamin Bratt, and Barry Pepper. The film is in post-production now and a release date has not been set.
