Scott Glenn Will Train Matt Murdock in DAREDEVIL
Actor Scott Glenn has been cast as Stick in Marvel's upcoming Daredevil series. He's best known for his work in films such as Training Day, Silence of the Lambs, Backdraft, andThe Hunt For Red October.
Stick is the mysterious martial arts master and mentor who trains Matt Murdock a.k.a. Daredevil (Charlie Cox). The actor also joins Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), Vincent D'Onofrio (Wilson Fisk), and Rosario Dawson.
Jeph Loeb, Marvel's Head of Television, had this to say in a statement:
"Stick is one of the most important figures in Matt Murdock's life and Scott Glenn embodies all the qualities of someone so integral to this hero's journey. There are few actors who could bring such the authenticity, gravitas and charisma to such a key role in Matt's journey to become the super hero we call Daredevil."
Glenn is really perfect for this part, and I'm glad that it went to a high caliber actor like him. The series follows the journey of Matt Murdock, "who was blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, now fighting against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the super hero Daredevil in modern day Hell's Kitchen, New York City."
The 13-episode series will be premiering on Netflix sometime in 2015.
