Cinema Static TV Casting Notes: 'Revolution' and 'The Walking Dead'

Saw some interesting casting news for two shows we tend to watch more often than not:  NBC's Revolution (But weee're famileee) and AMC's The Walking Dead.

Revolution Cast News

NBC has added [http://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/scifi/revolution-adds-love-interest-funny-guy.html] Jessica Collins (Zero Dark Thirty, Rubicon) to the cast, her character is Cynthia, a beautiful woman with a deep faith.

The other new cast member is Patrick Heusinger (Black Swan, a few eps of Royal Pains) will be playing Adam, a rogue personality who likes to live life to the fullest.

Revolution returns for its second season on September 25th, on its new night, Wednesdays.

The Walking Dead News

Not to be outdone, the AMC update [http://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/scifi/walking-dead-adds-characters-zombies-feast.html] is that David Morrissey has been upgraded to a series regular.  Crap, crap, crap.  He's such a pain in the ***, that governor of his.

Then there's also Lawrence Gilliard Jr., who will play Bob Stookey.  You might have seen Lawrence in a recurring role on Army Wives or The Wire.

Don't forget:

When season four kicks it in gear, events in the season four premiere will be taking place around 30 days after the events in the 3rd season finale.

Also, AMC fired the last showrunner and has a new (third) boss on set, Scott Gimple.  (I wonder how long he'll last before they fire him?)  It's a long story on how or why the previous two successful showrunners were fired.  Don't get me started.

Season four of The Walking Dead resumes in October!

And I believe there will be a huge July 4th weekend Walking Dead TV marathon.
