Image Credit: David Livingston/Getty ImagesThis just in: Prison Break fave Sarah Wayne Callies has just scored the female lead in AMC’s eagerly anticipated The Walking Dead series, based on Robert Kirkman’s megapopular comic books!
The Ausiello Files fave will portray Lori Grimes, the slowly-unraveling wife of the show’s hero, Rick (Andrew Lincoln). Which oughta be a nice stretch for her: How do you play disturbed by zombie gore and such after you’ve already played someone who was beheaded? (Yes, I know, it was a hoax!)
So how much more hyped about the show are you now than you were a second before you read that headline? You can put it on a scale of 1 to a gazillion if it makes it easier.
This show is going to kick all sorts of arse.
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
Awesome. I’ve read nine volumes of the series, should be great television.
First I’ve heard of the show, but it sounds great. When does it start?
Never heard of this show but now I will be looking out for it
This show is assembling quite the awesome cast. Can’t wait.
I was already excited about this show now im freakin…
I love Sarah Wayne Callies. I’ve never heard of this show but I will definitely tune in for her.
Same here. I have really missed her since PB finished.
Me too! Loved her on Prison Break.
She is pretty, nursesdate
Did you catch her on House this week? She was excellent.
Knew she was doing House but I have never seen the show. I guess I will have to look for her episode.
Exactly my thought ! Hope this show will be a hit.
love it!
but it would have been perfection if they’d have cast Jamie Bamber instead of Andrew Lincoln (no offence to the latter). It’s not too late AMC, go back on that decision!!!!
Jamie Bamber is a regular on “Law & Order: UK”, so he is kinda busy.
looks like I am gonna have to check this out. I have missed Sarah Wayne Callies,
Can’t stand her, she was terrible on Prison Break.
Great news! Enjoyed Sarah in Prison Break and was totally bummed when her character was “decapitated”. Never heard of Walking Dead. Will definately keep an eye out for it now!
Looking forward to this…zombies creep me out. Don’t get bit!
Love her!!
why is “Andy Patrick” writing in Ausiello’s section?
Aus is out of town.
great news, i read the script for the pilot and thought it was amazing so it’s nice to put a face to the name. always excited when Darabont is involved!
