TV Guide provided the first photo of David Morrissey as The Governor, who looks like a bad ass here.

Kirkman tells TV Guide “The Governor in the show is definitely going to be The Governor in the comic. I think that he’s definitely going to be a character that people love to hate and are absolutely entertained by, but also somewhat terrified of. He’s definitely going to be a very important character and a very nuanced character. We are not going to be watering him down. I’m even more excited than ever because now I feel like we’re really getting to ‘the good stuff. Having The Governor in the mix is going to fundamentally change the show in all kinds of awesome and exiting ways. And David Morrissey totally rocks!”

The third season of The Walking Dead has been shooting for a little over a month and begins this October on AMC.
