Today, over half a year after the first seasonвЂ™s finale, what do you think was the key to this success story?Д«en Barnes: I think the showrunnersвЂ™ vision is everything. But if I did, I wouldnвЂ™t tell you!ДA MAN: вЂњWestworldвЂќ is both a critical and commercial success. Is there anything you can tell us about what to expect in the showвЂ™s second season?Д«en Barnes: I wish I knew anything. I always had some injury or other during the course of the season.ДA MAN: WeвЂ™re also looking forward to the return of вЂњWestworldвЂќ next year.

It was also pretty physically grueling in the action sequences-a lot of very cold night shoots in Brooklyn, New York. When a character is compelling and violent and charismatic like that, the challenge is to find the qualities that will balance him out or complement him. HeвЂ™s definitive in the role of Frank Castle.ДA MAN: How about the most challenging? Or should we say, the most punishing?Д«en Barnes: Ha! It was a great challenge to find a character to appear opposite the Punisher. His grace and leadership and humor and the way he challenges you. All actors imagine if they were a superhero or villain, which one would it be? In my case, itвЂ™s not one I ever thought of but itвЂ™s nice to be able to define one without too many expectations of how he should be!ДA MAN: On a more personal note, what would you say is the best part of being on вЂњPunisherвЂќ?Д«en Barnes: Jon Bernthal is one huge positive. And itвЂ™s a nice badge to be included in the universe we know so well, certainly. I love watching all kinds of films including blockbusters. In your opinion, is it?Д«en Barnes: I donвЂ™t think so.

вЂњFinding a way to be proud of the finished product is a more important goal than accoladesвЂќДA MAN: Lately, the public sees being on a superhero movie or TV show as a major milestone, seal of approval and career-enhancing move all rolled into one. Our show is about men suffering tragedy and trauma itвЂ™s about a very real topic set in a world of superheroes-but no character in our show has superpowers and that makes it feel unique in this universe. Still, was there anything about working on a Marvel show that managed to surprise you?Д«en Barnes: I was really pleased at the grounded, tough approach to the material. Outfit by Ermenegildo Zegna, shoes by Call It SpringДA MAN: YouвЂ™ve been in the industry for a long time. I see Punisher tattoos and T-shirts and hats and stickers on vans everywhere I go now and I really hope the show lives up to their expectations. More than anything IвЂ™ve worked on, with this property, IвЂ™m extremely aware of the passionate fan base.

How are you feeling as we inch ever closer to the showвЂ™s premiere?Д«en Barnes: IвЂ™m excited to share what weвЂ™ve made with everyone. Obviously, a lot of us are excited for вЂњPunisherвЂќ which will come out later this year. Naturally, he has quite a few tales to tell about his new show, and the journey that got him there.ДA MAN: Hi, Ben.
