Ah. Yeah. He wanted to be the Governor. Honestly I understand why they turned him down. Tom Savini is amazing and he is a god in the zombie lover's pantheon, but from an objective viewpoint, he's a crappy actor. Can't have crappy actors on a show that has arguably some of the best actors on television in it. Let him help out with some special effects and direct an episode or two. He's best at those things. As an actor he's cheesy, campy, and lacks believability. Savini would be better suited to a minor role or a cameo as a particularly vicious walker. You know, his usual thing.
