Daredevil has cast veteran actor Scott Glenn, best known for his roles in Silence of The Lambs, The Hunt For Red October, and The Bourne Ultimatum, as Stick, young Matt Murdock's blind mentor.
""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." head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb told Marvel.com.
Stick is an interesting character. He started out as a stereotypical old man mentor character but later issues revealed his mystical nature. Glenn is a fantastic actor, and I'm sure he'll bring poignancy to the role.
