AMC casts 'Walking Dead' lead



AMC has cast Andrew Lincoln as the lead in its zombie apocalypse thriller "The Walking Dead."


Andrew Lincoln ("Teachers," "Love Actually") will play Rick Grimes, a small-town cop who leads a group of survivors in their struggle against a world besieged by zombies.

As previously announced Jon Bernthal ("The Pacific") will play Shane, a survivor who was Rick's police partner before the zombie disaster.

“Andrew Lincoln, wow--what an amazing find this guy is,"
said Robert Kirkman, who wrote the comic book series upon which the series is based. "Writing Rick Grimes month after month in the comic series, I had no idea he was an actual living breathing human being and yet here he is. I couldn't be more thrilled with how this show is coming together."

"Walking Dead" starts shooting in June in Atlanta, with Frank Darabont as writer, director and executive producer.

i went to the Image Comics panel this weekend at WonderCon, and this was like the highlight of their panel.

But they were so freaking tight-lipped about it, they didn't give any good info. Except they made it sound amazing.

Good choice. Although if I had to pick a lead, i would have chosen Mark Pellegrino

Zombie apocalypse thriller? I'm already there. I love that shit, especially if it is good but still if it is bad.

I adore him <3 The 'To me, you are perfect' scene makes me weep without fail, every single time.
