Attention, all Walking Dead fans!  Andrew Lincoln (better known in more romantic movies like Love, Actually and Wuthering Heights) takes the lead in The Walking Dead, an upcoming AMC television series as Rick Grimes, the cop leading a group of survivors in an overrun zombie world.  We've seen some of the graphic zombie makeup work for the show, and AMC finally gives us our first look at Lincoln as Grimes.  Check out the picture below!

AMC RELEASES THE FIRST PHOTO OF ANDREW LINCOLN AS RICK GRIMES FROM THE SET OF THE WALKING DEAD

Robert Kirkman, creator/writer of the comic and executive producer on the series says: "Writing this book for the past seven years I've gotten very close to the character of Rick.  Andrew Lincoln embodies every aspect of the character that fans know and love.  After seeing this photo I don't think that there will be a doubt in anyone's mind that he's perfect for the role."
