AMC has released the first photo (above) of Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes from the set of The Walking Dead. Robert Kirkman, creator/writer of the comic and executive producer on the TV series says, "Writing this book for the past seven years I've gotten very close to the character of Rick. Andrew Lincoln embodies every aspect of the character that fans know and love. After seeing this photo I don't think that there will be a doubt in anyone's mind that he is perfect for the role."
