2010 Onwards: ‘The Ghost’ offered another chance to make a film but this was going to be a big year for Jon. A small show called ‘The Walking Dead’ gave him a lead role as Shane and even though he was only around for a couple of seasons he did enough to start getting some serious supporting film roles. These include ‘Rampart’, ‘Snitch’, ‘Grudge Match’ and the hugely popular ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’

My Favourite Role: Shane mainly because The Walking Dead is my favourite show on television.

My Least Favourite Role: Hard to pick one because I think he always gives good performances even if I don’t like the film.
