suspense and thriller genres since becoming a Hitchcock fan at the ripe age of 7. Along with
Hitchcock, Levin credits Brian De Palma, David Fincher, John Carpenter and Steven Soderbergh as his main influences.

movie Nemesis. Over the next few years, he landed a number of supporting roles in films such
as Boogie Nights, The Thin Red Line, and Magnolia. In 2000, Jane briefly returned to his

on-screen in 2001 by playing Mickey Mantle in the TV movie 61*. This role broke the ice for
Jane, who found himself fielding offers for lead roles in many other films. Among these
was Stander, a South African picture which garnered more fame and fortune for Jane.
Though now one of his more notable acting jobs, Jane twice rejected the lead role in the 2004
remake of The Punisher. He claimed not to care for superhero films and only came around to
the idea after noting the complexity of his proposed character. In preparation for Punisher, Jane
bulked up both physically and mentally, training with Navy Seals and tearing
through Punisher comic books at once. Following the film’s release, Jane remained committed
to the project, voicing over characters for the video games The Punisher and Gun. Later, he
went on to play David Drayton in The Mist, the film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel.

HBO for two seasons and earned Jane nominations for Best Actor from the Golden Globe and
Satellite Awards. In it, Jane plays history teacher and basketball coach Ray Drecker, who falls
on hard times and turns to sex and anatomy to lift him back up.

Hex and Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam. In 2011, Jane played Richard in the
