The Walking Dead Finally Finds Their Governor

The role of The Walking Dead’s most notorious villain – known as The Governor- has been rumored to be going from everyone from Tom Savini to John Hawkes from Winter’s Bone to even Danny Trejo. But it looks like once again, a Brit nabbed the part meant for an American. Actor David Morrissey, known best for State Of Play and Dr. Who, got the part over all those other names, and is set to become a series regular in the third season which debuts this October on AMC.

In Robert Kirkman’s original comic book series, The Governor is the leader of a small settlement of survivors, and becomes the main antagonist for Rick Grimes and his group, who have mostly been hanging out on a farm all this season. The addition of the Governor should certainly shake things up for the better.
