David Morrissey

David Morrissey is one of British television's most dependable leading men, the sort who elevates whatever he is in. I first really noticed him as Gordon Brown in The Deal and the haunted MP in State of Play, both 2003, where his brooding gravity was perfect. American audiences know him as the Governor in The Walking Dead, a villain he made genuinely menacing rather than cartoonish. More recently Sherwood reminded me how good he is at weary, decent authority figures. At six foot two with that low rumble of a voice, he commands the screen. A character actor's depth in a leading man's frame.
