The Walking Dead Promotes Two Actors to Series Regulars Ahead of Season 9
First of all – if you haven’t watched the Season 8 Finale of TWD DON’T continue reading – spoilers ahead!!
Since Season 8 of The Walking Dead not only killed off Chandler Riggs’ Carl and Steven Ogg’s Simon but banished Austin Amelio’s Dwight and sent Lennie James’ Morgan over to spinoff Fear the Walking Dead, there’s room for some fresh blood. So ahead of Season 9, the AMC drama has promoted to series-regular status Avi Nash and Callan McAuliffe.
Nash plays Siddiq, the medical resident that Carl was escorting back to Alexandria when he was bitten by a walker.
McAuliffe is Alden, the former Savior whose shows of solidarity with the Hilltop eventually won over that community’s skeptical leader, Maggie.
Both actors made their TWD debuts in the recently-concluded Season 8.
What are your thoughts on the promotion of Nash and McAuliffe? Let us know in the comments below!
