Andrew Lincoln is ready to turn comic book hero Rick Grimes to life in AMC’s adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s fantastic comic book The Walking Dead.  Says Kirkman: “Writing this book for the past seven years I’ve gotten very close to the character of Rick.  Andrew Lincoln embodies every aspect of the character that fans know and love.  After seeing this photo I don’t think that there will be a doubt in anyone’s mind that he’s perfect for the role.”  The anticipation is killing me.  The Walking Dead premieres in October on AMC.
