KEVIN NASH TALKS THE PUNISHER

Kevin Nash, who plays The Russian in the upcoming movie The Punisher, told The Continuum that fans of the comic will be happy with Thomas Jane's performance as the title character.

"The first time I went on set and I watched him and he has kind of that Clint Eastwood-ish approach," Nash told The Continuum. "Thank God this movie came along because all of The Punisher fans will finally be able to put the Dolph Lundgren version to rest.

"He does The Punisher justice. He really hits a home run. He's a very talented actor."

Nash, a long-time professional wrestler who was once approached for the role of Sabretooth in X-Men, cut his hair for the role, which includes an extended fight scene with Jane's Punisher.

Nash, a comics fan who has published a Nash comics title, said he hopes to make a convention appearance before the April 16 release of The Punisher. He also will wrestle in Japan in March.

ANGEL UPDATE

Joss Whedon, creator and executive producer of The WB's Angel, said that he feels the show could go beyond its current fifth season.

"I've never not thought that the show could carry on into a sixth or seventh year," Whedon said at the recent WB Winter Press event. "Last year there was some doubt as to whether we were coming back. This doubt was not something I was actually informed about. ...That was a bit of an eye opener.

"This has been a strong year for us. The response has been strong. The demos have been strong. We all feel really good. As for stories, I don't think we'll ever run out of stories to tell about these people. They're constantly changing. They're constantly shifting their alliances. And there's so much to say on the subject. Any good show is ultimately about people and people are endlessly fascinating.

"It feels to me like the new energy could propel us into more seasons, and I very much hope it does. Because as a creative team, I never doubted we had enough stories to tell."

In other Angel news, above is a new promotional image from "You're Welcome," which marks 100 episodes and the return of Charisma Carpenter as Cordelia.
