The Governor (David Morrissey)  Unlike the comic-book version of the character, a barbaric brute who chopped off Rick&#39;s hand for jollies, the Governor is at first glance more seductive than sadistic. &#39;&#39;He assumes a position of power, which is almost religious in a way,&#39;&#39; says Morrissey...but &#39;&#39;I don&#39;t think he gets to the position he&#39;s in without having a ruthless nature.&#39;&#39; #thewalkingdead
