Meet the Governor of the Walking Dead
 |
It’s the first pic of David Morrissey as The Governor from season three of The Walking Dead, and… huh. He doesn’t look anything like the character from the comics. Which is fine, but… he just looks like a regular guy. Or is that the point? Either way, it’s kind of disconcerting for the show to stay so far from the source material for one of its primary antagonists, but on the other hand, the show got significantly better at the end of last season, David Morrissey is a pretty excellent actor, and the Governor is a character defined much more by his actions than his appearance, so I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt. If only because he might kill me.
