The Walking Dead - Stan Lee hoping for cameo

The Walking Dead's creator has revealed that Stan Lee wants a cameo on the show.

Speaking to The AV Club, Robert Kirkman explained that a number of his friends have asked to play zombies in the series.

"I'd like to be able to tell everyone yes, but there are only so many zombies you can get into a show," he said. "And everyone on the show has friends that are doing that. We'll probably never run out of zombies."

Kirkman added that some celebrities may appear in future episodes, saying: "There are a few people who have asked me, and there may be some fun cameos for comics fans popping up in the second season. I don't want to call these people out - it might annoy them. Honestly, Stan Lee asked to be a zombie on the show - that's possible."

Kirkman also denied rumours that Charlie Sheen will have a cameo, joking: "I wish!"

He continued: "We are talking to Mel Gibson, though... Of course I am [kidding]. I would like to know where all these rumours are starting. I'll start creating rumours for fun. I'd just love to talk to Mel Gibson. How interesting would that be?"
