Rumor has it, Garret Dillahunt ("Justified," "Deadwood") has won the role of Negan on The Walking Dead. As readers of the comic book series know, the TV show is not a direct adaptation of the comic but still loosely follows the comic's progression. These same readers know that the TV show is quickly approaching the point in the comic where Negan will be introduced. At the very least, AMC and The Walking Dead showrunners have to be actively searching for someone capable of wickedly swinging a barbed-wire bat.

Until this is confirmed by AMC or someone from the show, keep your salt handy.
