It is just a rumor at this time, but it looks as if John Hawkes (Contagion) could join the cast of The Walking Dead as The Governor.

Tom Savini was recently asked about the role, which he has shown interest in, and had the following to say, "I have been campaigning to be the governor on that damn thing with Greg Nicotero for over a year. Everytime I see the graphic novel, and I see a picture of the governor, who looks just like me, I send Greg a picture. I just won't give up. Last time I talked to him about it, when I was in Los Angeles, he said they were going after a name for that part. I said, 'Who?' He said John Hawkes."
