These are the ramblings of a 22 year old college student who gets too little sleep and consumes too much sugar. Name's Kat. I'm pretty passionate about gay/women/human rights, atheism, unschooling, science fiction, horror, video games, tasty food, and enjoying the silliness of life with my boyfriend, Nolan, and our old, incessantly annoying Chihuahua, Tamie.
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!!!
Savini would indeed be a horrible choice. I love him, but he definitely would not be able to pull off the evil of The Governor. I’d never seen John Hawkes in anything, though, so I can’t comment on whether he’s right for the role..
