AMC has tapped a familiar face as the lead of its
drama pilot Line Of Sight — The Walking Dead ‘s David
Morrissey. Should fans of his character on the hit zombie
series, The Governor, worry about his future? Not for now, as
the cable network plans to have him do both Season 4 of The
Walking Dead and the Line Of Sight pilot, which share a
filming location. “We are huge fans of David Morrissey and are
glad he’ll be doing double duty for AMC viewers through his
work on The Walking Dead and our pilot for Line Of Sight, both of which are
produced in Atlanta,” the network said in a statement to Deadline. Morrissey
was first signed on only for Season 3 of The Walking Dead, leading to
speculation that his popular villain character may be killed off. But Morrissey
was brought back for the upcoming fourth season and appeared alongside other
cast members at The Walking Dead Comic Con panel last month. However, as it
is with all characters on the zombie drama with extraordinarily high body count,
The Governor’s future beyond Season 4 is uncertain, and Morrissey’s casting as
the lead of another AMC show will certainly fuel further speculation that The
Governor may be facing his demise. AMC has a tradition of working with the
same actors on multiple series. Lennie James, co-lead of the network’s new
drama Low Winter Sun , previously co-starred on AMC’s limited series The
Prisoner and has a recurring role on The Walking Dead , which has overlapped
with Low Winter Sun.
Line Of Sight, from creator Blake Masters, director Jonathan Demme, Fox TV Studios and AMC Studios, tells the story of Lewis Bernt (Morrissey), a National Transportation Safety Board investigator who survives a mysterious plane crash, bringing him on an emotionally disorienting quest to discover the accident’s cause. Also cast in the pilot as a regular is Kai Lennox, who will play Tony Vie, one of the crash victims.
