The Walking Dead - Season 3 - Q&A with David Morrissey (The Governor)

British actor David Morrissey, who plays The Governor on AMC's The Walking Dead, talks about some unexpected overlaps with his character's tastes and explains how the role finally earned him some respect at home.

Q: This is your first season on the show. Was there a learning curve to get up to speed with The Walking Dead?

A: I was very nervous about joining the show on the first day, but once I got there it's been a joy ever since. There's an element about needing to know about the conditions: the heat and the humidity and the snakes and bugs and ticks. You have to have a little bit of an outward bound course before you start filming. Those things are different for me, because normally it's like, "How do I get to the canteen." But I do think those crazy brutal conditions add to the show -- because the show's all about that. It isn't a comfortable place to be and that's important.
