Summary

This week, Rob is joined by the incredibly talented (and never typecast!) David Morrissey. The pair talk about what it was like playing one of the most iconic villains, The Governor, in the long running TV series ‘The Walking Dead.’ From reading the graphic novels to working with the incredible team, David shares how he got into character and brought him to life. Rob also shares a personal story involving a ‘walker’ from the show! The pair also discuss David’s latest work, with David revealing comedy moments on the set of ‘Daddy Issues’ and what research he carried out for the crime drama series ‘Sherwood.’ 

Expect plenty of laughs, fascinating insights, and stories from an actor who’s done it all!

doing that. Also, he's kind of his attitude to work. He's very thorough, something that comes up and it did make me laugh.

1:47.5

We talk at the beginning about, I'd just been on holiday. Have you been on holiday? He said,
