TV – Early ‘Walking Dead’ Casting News Casts ‘Teen Wolf’ Vet For Season 5!

Seth GilliamWe’ve got a bit of early casting news for Season 5 of AMC’s The Walking Dead. Word has it that Teen Wolf vet Seth Gilliam has been cast in a series regular role for the show. No word yet as to what role he will be taking on but it shouldn’t be too long before we get the scoop on his part. Read on for more details.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Seth Gilliam has boarded the zombie drama as a series regular for its upcoming fifth season.

The actor, who played Ellis Carver on The Wire for its entire five-season run, becomes the third alum from the acclaimed HBO drama to join the AMC series based on Robert Kirkman’s best-selling graphic novels.

Details on just who Gilliam will play on Walking Dead are being kept under wraps. The casting breakdown — which used the dummy name of Michael — described the character as friendly with a puckish demeanor who also has a haunted side, though that is not expected to be accurate, either. (There also is not a character with the name Michael in the ongoing comics series, unless you count a small boy named Mikey.)

Gilliam becomes the latest series regular to board Walking Dead, which has already started production on season five. Andrew J. West (Gareth), Alanna Masterson (Tara) and Christian Serratos (Rosita) were all promoted to regulars for season five in March after recurring in season four. West, who made his debut during the season-four finale, plays Gareth, who is the head of the group living at Terminus — who may or may not be overseeing a group of cannibals.

The Walking Dead returns for its fifth season in October.
