NOTE: If you DO NOT want to read SEASON 2 or COMIC SPOILERS, DO NOT read on and since none of this has been CONFIRMED, I will treat this as RUMOR.
The Walking Dead Season 2 casting information has been leaked onto the internet revealing 4 new characters!
First up, Dupree R. Stansell (an aspiring actor and Walking Dead extra) let slip via his Tumblr a casting spoiler we’ve heard in the past albeit with a new revelation. Stansell says that Michonne will make her first appearance in the Season 2 Finale with Stansell playing one of her infamous zombie pets.
Second, we have a leaked casting call for Episode 9 & 10. Apparently Episode 9 will introduce two characters, Dave and Tony both of whom are from the northern United States. Taken straight from the casting call, Dave is a 30-45 year old male of any ethnicity and is characterized as a charming and friendly guy. He’s the kind of guy you’d like to have a beer with and has probably spent a significant amount of time in low-rent bars. He’s able to disarm with a smile but can quickly turn dangerous. Tony, is a 25-30 year old male of any ethnicity who is a bit on the heavier side and is Dave’s younger friend with whom he is traveling with. Unlike Dave, Tony is quick-tempered and doesn’t present himself as intelligent as Dave and likes women, food,and guns.
Finally, again through the casting call, we have Randall who will be played by Michael Zegen. Randal is a 19-20 year old male and is characterized as a skinny, earnest southern kid who is thrown into a set of unusual circumstances. Also, according to the casting call, the actor playing Randall will need to have a deep well of emotions to access, with the ability to project fragility, inexperience, and ultimately strength and courage and shouldn’t look like a handsome Hollywood actor. Randall will be appearing in 4 episodes starting with the 10th episode.
Again this is complete RUMOR and should be treated as such until we get some kind of confirmation.

I suspect Michael Raymond-James (Terriers, True Blood) will be Tony. Sounds perfect for the part and a few of his tweets in September indicated he was in Georgia for The Walking Dead.

I hope they keep Michonne true to her character in the comic, if this is not a rumor that is.
