Michael Rooker to Play Merle in The Walking Dead

According to an interview that Michael Rooker did with Dread Central, he will be playing a new character named Merle.

EL: Now you’re shooting “The Walking Dead” in Atlanta with Frank Darabont as your director. Any info you can reveal right now?

MR: I play a character named Merle…you know, the Southern name “Merle”…a new character to the Robert Kirkman graphic novel. And Frank is my new best friend. Actually, I’m currently on a break from “The Walking Dead” and am shooting an episode of “Burn Notice” in Miami with Bruce Campbell and lots of other friends, old and new. DAMN, but I love Miami!!

Sounds like Merle may be a reoccurring character? Or maybe his next film date will be him as a Zombie? We’ll have to wait and see.
