Fan Casting Microchip in Walter Hill's The Punisher

A neurotic, heavyset tech genius who lives in a cluttered apartment surrounded by custom electronics. Initially terrified when the Punisher appears at his door, Microchip becomes an unlikely ally and tech support for Frank's war on Costa. He is a reluctant participant, more comfortable with computers than violence, but his loyalty grows as he uncovers the depth of Costa's corruption. Microchip provides Frank with intelligence, hacked records, and technical expertise. He is the film's source of dark comic relief, balancing Frank's grim determination with his own brand of nervous, self-deprecating humor.
