Episode #7 – Rick Grimes is Cast Apr 13, 2010

Show notes

Hey folks,

It seems like 2 week intervals is becoming the norm at this point because here’s another episode of The Talking Dead. On the program this week Jason and I talk about the biggest casting news so far, as well as a big (and strange) rumour.

In actual news, Andrew Lincoln has been chosen to play the main character, Rick Grimes. Lincoln is a British actor who you may remember from Love Actually, or British TV comedy/drama Teachers. Is he the right choice for the role? Tune in to hear what Jason and I think, and please leave comments with your thoughts.

Thanks, and we’ll be back as soon as we hear more Walking Dead news.

Hey everybody,

I’m happy to bring you episode 5 of The Talking Dead. On this episode Jason, Dave and I discuss a casting rumour I came across on Twitter, plus do some fantasy casting of our own (mostly Dave’s actually). Open up a window to Renerd.com where you can find Dave’s full casting post and follow along as you listen! What could be more fun than that?

Some highlights include: Kate Kelton (@katekelton) as Lori Grimes, Michael Jai White as Tyreese, and Emma Caulfield (@emmacaulfield) as Carol. Tune in to hear the rest of our list, including who we think should play the lead role of Rick Grimes.

I am also happy to announce that talkingdeadpodcast@gmail.com is finally up and running. Please contact us there if you’d like to, or of course feel free to leave comments on this site. We’d love to hear your input on who you think should play the major roles.
