Biiiiig Season 3 casting news spoiler! Less so if you've read the comic, but still.
SEASON 3 PLOT/CASTING NEWS IN SPOILER TAG
Spoiler:David Morrissey cast as The Governor
AMC has announced that British actor David Morrissey is to play the role of the The Governor in the third season of The Walking Dead. Morrissey is best known for his starring role in the original U.K. TV version of State of Play. His many other credits include the Red Riding trilogy, Centurion, Doctor Who, and The Deal, in which he played future British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
The Governor is the most famous villain to have appeared in the Walking Dead comic and fans have long speculated who might play the role. Rumored possible candidates included Eastbound & Down star John Hawkes while special effects legend Tom Savini had actively campaigned for the role, in part because of his resemblance to the character.
The third season of the Walking Dead will comprise 16 episodes and starts production in Atlanta this spring.
"A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After Life

I think it's a very odd choice, personally. He doesn't look the part at all, and I don't think I've ever seen anything that would make me think he'd fit the role.
That said, the casting to this point has been absolutely on the nose, so I'm completely prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt and just wait to see how it works out."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

I will give those in charge the benefit of the doubt. They haven't let me down thus far. If they think Mr. Morissey can play the Governor, I will trust in that.sigpic
