While Philip Blake, aka The Governor, is a major player in The Walking Dead comic book series, fans will have to wait until The Walking Dead Season 3 to see him take shape as a living human being. We recently caught up with Sex Machine Tom Savini, who revealed some interesting information about the casting of this important, though yet unseen, character.
But, AMC is going after a name, and that name is John Hawkes, seen in Deadwood and Winter’s Bone.

IF THEY PICK TOM SAVINI, THE WALKING DEAD WILL BECOME SUCH A CHEESY SHOW. I KNOW HE’S A LEGEND BUT HE’S NOT A DRAMATIC ACTOR PEOPLE.
HOWEVER, JOHN HAWKES WOULD BE PERFECT AS THE GOVERNOR!!!
So, it’s kind of hard for me to picture anyone other than Danny Trejo playing The Governor because, come on, if ever there was anyone who would be perfect for this part, it’s him. That aside, I don’t know this other fellow, but John Hawkes?! My sweet precious adorable perfect little Sol Starr playing a murderous rapist cuntbag?!?!?!?!?! Noooo :(
On the other hand, it would be pretty exciting to have him on there. I’d be seeing Deadwood everywhere!
Deadwood in my Hunger Games, Deadwood in my Sons of Anarchy, Deadwood in my Walking Dead. That would be awesome.
