Another addition has been made to the cast of AMC's Fear The Walking Dead, providing us with one more person who will strive to survive the beginnings of living dead-induced chaos in the streets and high rises of Los Angeles.
According to Broadway World, film and stage actor Colman Domingo (Selma, Lee Daniels' The Butler, Lincoln, Chicago, The Scottsboro Boys) has joined the Fear The Walking Dead cast in a recurring role. Domingo will play a character called "Strand, a smart and sophisticated man with a mysterious past."
“Fear the Walking Dead,” which is set in Los Angeles and focuses on new characters and storylines, stars Kim Dickens (Gone Girl, “Sons of Anarchy”) as Madison, Cliff Curtis (“Missing,” “Gang Related”) as Travis, Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) as Nick and Alycia Debnam-Carey (Into the Storm) as Alicia. Also joining the cast as series regulars are Elizabeth Rodriguez (“Orange is the New Black”) as Liza and Mercedes Mason (Quarantine 2: Terminal) as Ofelia."
"A companion series to “The Walking Dead,” the #1 show on television among adults 18-49, “Fear the Walking Dead” is executive produced by Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, David Alpert and showrunner David Erickson and produced by AMC Studios. Co-Executive Producer Adam Davidson, who directed the pilot, is also directing the second and third episodes. The series’ first season, consisting of six one-hour episodes, will premiere on AMC in late summer."
It was also recently revealed that Sandrine Holt (The Returned, Terminator Genisys) and Rubén Blades (Predator 2, Once Upon a Time in Mexico) have joined the cast of Fear The Walking Dead. Holt will play Dr. Bethany Exner and Blades will portray Ofelia's father, Daniel.
