00:00Who will play Negan in the Walking Dead series?

00:02Now that we know the big bad character is going to be making an appearance next season,

00:06that's the question we're dying to get the answers to.

00:10Unfortunately, nobody's confirming anything.

00:12But show creator Robert Kirkham did reveal his dream actor for the part.

00:16And you may be surprised by the pick.

00:18He told MTV News,

00:20I think Jon Hamm would be perfect.

00:22I think after Mad Men has run, Jon Hamm is going to have a Tom Hanks-level film career,

00:27so I don't think he'll be coming back to television anytime soon.

00:30Although that would be cool.

00:32In other Walking Dead casting news, there are rumors flying around that Grey's Anatomy star

00:36Katherine Heigl was in talks to join the zombie crew as well.

00:40But this is far from the truth.

00:44The rumors about Katherine Heigl joining The Walking Dead are complete .

00:48She has her own wonderful show on NBC, wishing her the best.

01:12Fingers crossed.

01:14But one name we can definitely add to the docket, Chase Vassar.

01:18And I know what you're thinking, who?

01:19Well, he's a former college athlete who landed a role on the show.

01:23That's according to a tweet Chase recently shared that read,

01:26It's official, tune in to AMC for The Walking Dead.

01:29No confirmation on who he's going to be playing, but his cannibal twist hashtag makes us think

01:34it's one of those flesh-eating freaks from Terminus.
