Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays the one-liner-dropping murderous villain Negan on The Walking Dead, has revealed the actress he would choose to play his character’s wife Lucille if/when the show ever gets around to staging his full backstory.
Lucille will have a chance to feed again as TWD season 8 accelerates into its “All Out War“ storyline.
Burton is certainly qualified to take on the role of Lucille if ever the show goes the “Here’s Negan” route.
Lucille died before the events of the show, and a grief-stricken Negan paid tribute by naming his infamous barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat after her.
