The Walking Dead Television Series Lead Role is Cast

We have a Rick Grimes, ladies and gentlemen. AMC has announced that Andrew Lincoln will be the face of our beloved hero. AMC's spokesperson, Joel Stillerman, had this to say:

“Andrew is an incredibly gifted actor. He has the presence and attitude to bring this character and story to life. We are thrilled that he is joining the cast.”

More good news? We can expect to see our favorite comic book come to life on television by October. October, people! I have said it before and I'll say it again... The Walking Dead is by far one of the greatest things a zombie fan could ask for. Forget any other book, movie, or comic and get yourself somewhere to read this thing. That goes for you, Jeff!
