A couple of days ago we
brought you some information that MovieWeb posted while talking with actor Tom Savini. Savini, who is actively campaigning to play The Governor in AMC's hit zombie show The Walking Dead, said his good friend Greg Nicotero told him they were perusing John Hawkes for the role.
The Wrap has spoken to Hawkes' publicists who told them that he will
Not be taking part in the show.
"John is NOT appearing on The Walking Dead," said the publicists closing the door on the rumor. As far as if Savini is being considered for the part now that Hawkes has turned it down is still up in the air. Keep checking CBM daily for the latest updates on
The Walking Dead.
The Walking Dead will return on February 12 on AMC with the episode
Nebraska.
