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.

- Robert Kirkman delivers the keynote speech at the ComicsPRO annual members meeting.

- Rumor: Jonny Lee Miller is the front runner to play Rick Grimes.

- Jon Bernthal has been cast as Rick Grimes’ partner Shane.

- AMC officially orders 6 episodes of the show, and plans to air it in October during FearFest.

I’m happy to bring you episode 5 of The Talking Dead.

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.
