“Zack Morris” To Audition For The Walking Dead?

The @_Blabz Twitter feed, which accurately revealed Kristin Kreuk’s casting in Hitched last week before any reporting from the trades, might have the first casting tip on AMC’s pilot for the The Walking Dead.

What is that tip? That a former teen-idol best known for a series in the 1990’s despite doing some good work on recent shows like Raising The Bar will be auditioning for the lead role of Rick Grimes.

That actor, of course, is Mark-Paul Gosselaar of Saved By The Bell fame.

Of course, auditioning for the role doesn’t mean he’s gotten the role…. though if he takes it, I’m waiting for the inevitable parodies where Rick Grimes is being chased by Belding and Screech zombies – or, even worse, the zombie of Dustin Diamond’s career.

Me, I’m still hoping Thomas Jane at least tries out for it…. Comments? Leave them. And please, again, be aware this is just a rumor right now and could be entirely false.
