Looks like Negan was too scary for the Governor.
David Morrissey, an English actor, gained significant recognition in the U.S. with his portrayal of the Governor in The Walking Dead. While he was already known for roles in Shakespearean plays and the Doctor Who Christmas special, it was his time in the zombie apocalypse that made him famous.
Morrissey’s Governor was not just a mere antagonist; he was a character with motivations, fears, and internal conflicts. This complexity of this antagonist was evident when the Governor grappled with his dark side.
One of the unique aspects of the Governor’s character was his relationship with the show’s audience. Viewers got to see sides of him that other characters in the series didn’t.
After his time on The Walking Dead, Morrissey’s career continued to flourish. He took on roles in shows like Britannia, where he played a character with some parallels to the Governor. However, his connection to The Walking Dead remained.Britannia
Despite his character’s demise in the fourth season, Morrissey continued to follow the series. However, when Negan made his debut in the final episodes of the sixth season, Morrissey decided it was time to take a break.
But it wasn’t a decision made because of Negan. In fact, Morrissey and Morgan are good friends in real life. Morrissey was eager to see Morgan’s portrayal of Negan and even discussed it with him before Morgan joined the cast.
But after witnessing the emergence of Negan, Morrissey felt it was time to move on. In conversations with Digital Spy, Morrissey clarified that his decision to stop watching wasn’t because he fell out of love with the show.
It was more about his personal commitments and the realization that he was no longer a part of the series.
He mentioned, “I’m not in this show anymore so it’s hard to keep watching, and I’ve got other things to get on with.”
He also acknowledged the dedication of the fans and how it was challenging for him to commit to the show in the same way.
It’s a bit unfortunate that Morrissey chose to stop watching when he did, but fans still remember his Governor as one of the best villains of the show, of course, after Negan.
