There have been a multitude of celebrities who have wanted to appear on AMC's hit TV series The Walking Dead. Well you can add one more name to the growing list. Christina Hendricks, of Mad Men fame, approached Executive Producer Greg Nicotero about the possibility of becoming zombie for the show at this years Golden Globes. Nicotero said to What’s On TV, “I went to the Golden Globes when Walking Dead was nominated and three of the actresses from Mad Men came over and said, ‘We want to be zombies’ and I’m looking at Christina Hendricks and going, ‘No, God, how are we gong to do this?’ So I just introduced them to Norman Reedus to distract them from the idea.”

While the idea of playing a Walker might appeal to some people Nicotero says it really not that glamorous, “The idea of being a zombie is great, but then you come down and you sit in the make-up chair and it’s hot and it’s sweaty." He has even had to talk his his dad out of a role, “My dad who is 75 years old wanted to come down. I had to talk him out of it too!”

What do you guys think, would you like to see Christina Hendricks as a Walker on The Walking Dead. Make sure to leave your comments in the boxes below, and catch The Walking Dead Sundays on AMC.

captquirk - 10/21/2011, 6:28 AM

It would be funny if she were dressed as Wonder Woman :)

nordberg - 10/21/2011, 6:31 AM

I'd like to audition for the role of the zombie that bites her.

marvel72 - 10/21/2011, 6:39 AM

she'd make a good zombie stripper.

heisei24 - 10/21/2011, 6:42 AM

thalidomide - 10/21/2011, 6:53 AM

i'll pretend to be a zombie and devour her boobs :)

A7 - 10/21/2011, 6:59 AM

golden globes nomination winner is.....

kingkrikkit - 10/21/2011, 7:02 AM

There are so many scenes with hoardes of zombies, how hard would it be to let some folks have fun and get in the mix... Im sure he has a good reason to turn people down, Ill bet tons of people ask him every day, but to make an excuse that its not easy, well they are [frick]ing pro actresses, youd think they didnt knwo thier way around a set, in the ehat, with makeup on? BS excuse I say. He should just be honets and say "Sorry, I'd love to, but we're too busy got too much going on to let everyone be on the show that asks, maybe next season"

Caedus137 - 10/21/2011, 7:14 AM

Speaking from experience, being a Zombie extra on film is cool as f.uck... Especially when the director insists you get pissed (or 'Drunk' for the Americans) on set so you pass for a more believable stumbling Zombie... "DNR:Zero" coming to Cinemas in the UK soon...

patriautism - 10/21/2011, 7:16 AM

Now I know what ball gags are for, Zombie safe sex!!!

SimyJo - 10/21/2011, 7:16 AM

Zombie Christina?.....

*/shrugs*

Yeah.... Still would!. ^^

darkfather - 10/21/2011, 7:17 AM

If they start casting celebrities as zombies just for the sake of being a zombie then the show runs the risk of becoming a gimmick. Next it'll be Kim Kardashian wanting to be a zombie, then Justin Bieber etc, etc...

EpicMan - 10/21/2011, 7:17 AM

Something similar to the stripper zombie from Zombieland.

Running is a must and in a bikini!

EpicMan - 10/21/2011, 7:18 AM

slow motion is a must!

EpicMan - 10/21/2011, 7:52 AM

@movietheaterlad yeah but at first it would be awsome!!!

EpicMan - 10/21/2011, 8:10 AM

Ohh hell yeah!! i had to turn on the metallica at my desk while commenting and searchin for that pic.

EpicMan - 10/21/2011, 8:11 AM

if Zombieland rule #32 is enjoy the little things...

Than mine is rule #33 enjoy big bouncing things!

SimyJo - 10/21/2011, 8:27 AM

@Gusto:

Shes a real woman with curves, they have enjoyable jiggly bits and bounce to them. Sleeping with a bicycle frame is not fun.

Christina is hardly 'slap the thigh and ride the wave'(tm) fat anyway!.

theangrytroll - 10/21/2011, 9:22 AM

Why do people who like fat chicks always insist on calling them, "real women with curves?" Rosie O'Donnell has curves. They jiggle and bounce. Wanna see her naked?

Hendricks is chubby going on porker. And she has a weird-looking face.

HelaGood - 10/21/2011, 9:24 AM

shes so hot

HelaGood - 10/21/2011, 9:25 AM

shes not fat! who the hell considers her fat??? wtf?!?!?

Bandrews1 - 10/21/2011, 9:29 AM

She'll make one sexy zombie .

HelaGood - 10/21/2011, 10:11 AM

jeez, gusto you must love kirsten stewart then. you like your women like ironing boards.

theangrytroll - 10/21/2011, 10:19 AM

What a joke. Evil is just a gutless child, and the thunder god swings a mighty tiny hammer indeed.

Kayo - 10/21/2011, 10:24 AM

yeah,give her the chance................one hot zombie!

Kayo - 10/21/2011, 10:27 AM

yeah, give her a chance..............one hot zombie!

Kayo - 10/21/2011, 10:28 AM

oops! sorry for the double posts

patriautism - 10/21/2011, 12:29 PM

@theangrytroll@Gusto

You guys might like girls with the body of a 10 year old, doesn't mean Hendricks is fat. All that size on her is boobs, and butt, not fat at all...

larzjarrod1 - 10/21/2011, 12:42 PM

Shes is fine as hell she remind me of jessica rabbit, u know roger rabbits wife. Big titts thick body. maybe cause Im black also mixed i find that shes' attractive but to me she needs a main role, i wactch walking dead, but i would become a faith watcher, ill tune in Sunday.I mean how could you turn that down for a one night stand. and are her boobs fake or real?

theangrytroll - 10/21/2011, 2:00 PM

@patriautism - You being into fat chicks doesn't make them any less fat.

However, all it takes is a cursory glance at a handful of photos of the blob in question to realize it's NOT, in fact, all boobs and butt. It's everywhere. The flabby arms. The thunder thighs. The gut that spends half its time being held in by a girdle. (Industrial strength, obviously.) And that ass? I'm sorry, but you could hide two Oprah's behind that thing. Even her bug-eyes are fat!

Look, if you're into fat chicks, that's cool. To each their own. But to rag on people just because they AREN'T into fat chicks? Someone certainly seems a little insecure.

fedup - 10/21/2011, 3:04 PM

I can't stand people that come to this site just to troll. The inability some of the people on here have to show respect to others is ridiculous.

headlopper - 10/21/2011, 3:37 PM

She must have been painfully sexy at 17.
