- Thomas JaneI try to work with people who are better than me. I for a long time considered myself a journeyman actor where I was learning my skills and honing my craft and waiting for the opportunity for something like this (The Punisher (2004)) to come along. I`m not good at vocalizing what my exact approach is, but I believe in using whatever works and making a sort of amalgamation of a number of different styles or methods to get the job done. I think that`s what a lot of film acting is about. It`s sort of a mongrel like approach these days. We use a number of different theories or beliefs to get you where you need to go.
