David Morrissey Says His New AMC Pilot 'Line of Sight' Is Not The End of The Governor on 'The Walking Dead'

In August, an announcement came that David Morrissey would star in a new pilot for AMC called Line of Sight as a transportation board investigator who survives a plane crash. But because Morrissey is already tied up in another AMC series, a litte show called The Walking Dead (maybe you've heard of it?), speculation arose that The Governor would be killed or leave the show.

But in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Morrissey said Line of Sight does not necessarily mean the end of The Governor:

"I had a little hiatus on The Walking Dead and we filmed that pilot. So I'm waiting to see. But I like The Walking Dead. I am part of The Walking Dead. I really hope to make it to season 5 of The Walking Dead. I don't know what's going to happen. That's an AMC decision, not mine. But I really consider myself to be a Walking Dead actor, and I consider myself to be the Governor and that's where I am with this at the moment. That was a nice little break for me, and I hope it happens, but I don't know how it will happen. It's been made very clear to me that this is my show. The Walking Dead is my show and I'm very proud of it and I want to be a part of that. Suffice it to say I am a Walking Dead actor and that is the show that I employed to do, and the show I love."

The Governor returns to The Walking Dead this Sunday night, so perhaps the situation will clarify a bit after the show airs.
