After it brilliantly burst onto our screens in 2010, and captured the hearts of millions of viewers, fans of the original Robert Kirkman comic book series have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of The Walking Dead’s Governor, and while it was announced that he would be played by British actor David Morrissey (Centurion) some time ago, we haven’t yet seen him in action, until now; as the first picture of Morrissey’s Governor has just been released online, and is now available to view below.
A much revered character, The Governor is the brutal leader of a small survivor settlement living in a disused prison that the heroes of the zombie-apocalypse drama The Walking Dead find themselves stumbling across, and according to creator Robert Kirkman he’s going to be every bit as violent and sadistic as the character from the comics; “The Governor in the show is definitely going to be The Governor in the comic. I think that he’s definitely going to be a character that people love to hate and are absolutely entertained by, but also somewhat terrified of. He’s definitely going to be a very important character and a very nuanced character. We are not going to be watering him down.”
