true blood (season 1)
this episode introduces the character michonne, a protagonist in the comic series of the same name who is portrayed by danai gurira. gurira was cast as part of the series a week before the broadcasting of "beside the dying fire," although rumors of introducing michonne circulated months prior to the season finale. kirkman admitted that he was a fan of her work in the hbo drama series "treme". rutina wesley, who played tara thornton in "true blood", was rumored to be considered for the role of michonne, although kirkman stated that she was never involved in the auditioning process. "it was a lot of actresses. the "true blood" actress, i don't know that she was even available; i think she's still on "true blood". i don't know where that rumor came from, but to my knowledge, she was never involved."
