Watch the First 3.5 Minutes of the Walking Season 2.5 Premiere (Now with Extra Walking!)
Since we’ve discussed the state of The Walking Dead ad nauseum at this point, let’s get right to discussing this lengthy clip:
? In a word, “Awkward!”
? Man, neither of those two actresses can fake cry worth a damn.
? Say what you will, but that’s one solid zombie death right there.
In other news, the WD producers are reportedly trying to get the fantastic John Hawkes of Deadwood fame (among many, many other fine performances) as The Governor, a character who I know almost nothing about except that he’s possibly not the nicest guy in the series. Seriously, John Hawkes is one of those actors so fantastic, yet so understated, he instantly improves anything he’s on, so this rumor makes me exceedingly excited. I can’t imagine Hawkes not being suitable for a role, but if anyone who knows both Hawkes and The Walking Dead comics wants to comment, I’d be interested to hear it. (Via Blastr and MovieWeb)
