Here’s a first look at actor David Morrissey as The Governor from AMC’s “The Walking Dead” series, which returns this fall.

AMC has released the first shot of Morrissey as the scary and controversial character from the comic book series, expected to play a huge role in the third season of the series.

It’ll be interesting to see if AMC’s character has as many bizarre quirks as the character in the comic series. It looks as if he starts out with more body parts, at least.

AMC plans 16 episodes for the third season. I haven’t heard if they’re planning to break that into eight-and-eight episodes again, but that seems likely.
