Another actor from The Wire is coming to The Walking Dead
Seth Gilliam, best known for his role as the eventually upstanding Ellis Carver of HBO’s The Wire, has joined the cast of The Walking Dead’s fifth season, according to Deadline. Unlike some previous Walking Dead casting announcements, attempts to match Gilliam’s role with his comic book analogue are proving futile: His character bears the name “Michael Todd,” though Deadline notes that this is just some sort of alias for the casting breakdown. (Even though the addition of Michael Todd to The Walking Dead world could do wonders for zombie skin. He’s also not the guy from Coheed And Cambria, since the survivors of the zombie apocalypse have suffered enough.)
