ASHBURN, Va. (7News) — There was a touch of Hollywood at Washington Commanders training camp on Monday afternoon.
Montgomery County native and big Commanders fan Jon Bernthal was at practice.
Bernthal has been a lifelong fan of the team. He spoke to a group of reporters after Monday’s practice.
“It feels so good to be a Commanders fan. It feels like it was back in the day,” Bernthal said. “You’re either a go-getter or your not. You can feel that this team is a bunch of go-getters. I think we are in real good shape moving forward.”
Bernthal is known for his roles as Shane Walsh in The Walking Dead and Frank Castle/The Punisher in both Daredevil and his own series, The Punisher.
The actor grew up in the Cabin John area of Montgomery County. He graduated from Sidwell Friends School. Bernthal comes back to visit often because he still has family in the area.
