...that opens next summer, you get the sense he's not talking about the no-dessert kind of punishment. Jane plays Frank Castle, a moody, haunted ex-Marine, now superhero, whose wife was killed by a Mafia boss (played by John Travolta). Hence his penchant for the punitive. The actor spent nine months working with Navy SEALs on "hand-to-hand combat, edged-weapon fighting, Japanese martial arts, Israeli martial arts, Filipino martial arts..."

Born to vaudeville folk, he played straight man to a talking mule in six popular Francis movies and won an Emmy for an early TV series. In the Make 'em Laugh number in Singin' in the Rain, he made mock love to a cloth dummy, did backflips off a wall and then hurtled through it--still smiling--in the greatest comic dance solo in film history...
