David Morrissey (State Of Play) has landed one of the most anticipated roles on AMC’s The Walking Dead. The British actor is set to join the megahit zombie drama as a new series regular in Season 3, playing The Governor, a popular character from Robert Kirkman’s graphic novel that serves as the basis for the AMC series. The Governor is the leader of Woodbury, a small settlement of survivors, and becomes the chief antagonist for The Walking Dead‘s lead Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his group. Morrissey, repped by The Collective and Troika in the UK, recently wrapped Welcome to the Punch opposite James McAvoy and Mark Strong.

Great actor, can't wait to see how he plays the Governor. I bet he pops up in the final episode of this series

[edit] I assume he will be playing the Gov in this kind of style http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDL0N4842MU

I see a lot of people on the AMC Facebook post were calling for Danny Trejo just on the basis that he looks like the Governor in the comic (despite the Governor not being Mexican).

That was a running joke here for awhile too.... he doesnt have the acting chops to play the Gov

He was good in the Red Riding Trilogy. He should be fine as the Governor.

PERFECT! Morrissey will make a great Gov!

im a little disappointed here. I really dont care how great of an actor is when they dont look like the character. You would't cast robert dinero as batman just because he can act would you? This guy looks nothing like the character and in a visual medium such as film looking the part is important.
