Who will play Negan in The Walking Dead? Hey, we have no idea, but rumors have claimed Kevin Durand is the man for the job. So, what does the actor have to say about all this?
From what the actor had to say, it seems he will never become Negan on The Walking Dead due to how busy he is right now. For those who are unaware, Durand plays a pivotal role in The Strain and also a smaller role in Vikings.
Both shows are quite popular and will likely command a lot of Durand's time. However, if Negan is not brought into the show for the next two years, which is unlikely, then we might very well get Kevin Durand on the job.
"A lot of people seem to think I've been offered the role, and that's not true," Durand wrote during a Reddit AMA. "But The Walking Dead fans have been approaching me asking about Negan for quite a while. I think he's an incredible character, what an awesome ride that would be. However, at this point in time, shooting The Strain and Vikings takes up most of my year."
It's a real shame because Durand is a solid actor and do we dare say he looks like Negan from the comics? Yes, he does. We also think he would be better off as a member of The Walking Dead cast rather than Vikings since we suspect his role in that show will not grow much in the coming seasons.
Last season, he came on the scene as The Wanderer, who appears to have some form of magical powers, He spoke wise words, killed and had sex; yeah, we enjoyed that very much.
When it comes down to The Strain, it's a decent show, but we do not like the vampire-zombie vibe it has going for it. The guy needs to find a way and get himself as part of The Walking Dead cast.
