Andrew J. West Joins The Cast Of THE WALKING DEAD In Mysterious Role As 'Gareth'
'Gareth' who? Well, while The Hollywood Reporter claims that the Greek and Suburgatory actor is playing a "remix" of a character from the comics, it seems likely that that name is being used to keep his actual role a secret. Hit the jump for further details!
This season of The Walking Dead has already seen three major new additions in the form of Michael Cudlitz, Josh McDermitt and Christian Serratos as 'Abraham', 'Eugene' and 'Rosita', respectively, but now Andrew J. West has been added to the series as 'Gareth'. He will apparently be intrduced next year in the second half of the season as, "a remix of sorts of an unidentified character from the series. Gareth will have what sources say is a big presence and play an important character on the drama from showrunner Scott M. Gimple." Whether that is indeed the truth or just a codename being used to keep his identity a secret (similar to how they handled Larry Gilliard Jr.'s 'Bob') is unknown, but who do you guys think he could be playing?
