PUNISHER: WAR ZONE -- RAY STEVENSON

Ray Stevenson signing at Comic-Con International.

Ray Stevenson is the third actor to play the Punisher in a feature film, and whether or not he is embraced by fans more than Dolph Lundgren or Thomas Jane were remains to be seen.

However, Stevenson does seem to pass an initial first test for Punisher: War Zone -- which opens on Friday -- better than his predecessors: He looks more like the character.

"I can't think of anyone who looks more like a Tim Bradstreet cover than Ray," says producer Gale Anne Hurd, who also produced 2004's film that starrred Jane.

To find out more about Stevenson, his take on the character and his training, CLICK HERE for the feature story.
