XANDER BERKELEY’S WALKING DEAD CHARACTER IS REVEALED!

The Walking Dead is gearing up to take the next step down the trail of the graphic novel storyline. With Jeffrey Dean Morgan already set to appear as the brutal, barbed wire bat-carrying Negan, it was necessary to cast another cog in that story, the treacherous Gregory, leader of the Hilltop Colony. Xander Berkeley has been officially announced to step into the role.

We could regale you with tales of his dirty deeds from the source material, but the show has taken enough left turns to keep us all on our toes, so we’ll leave it at this: You don’t want to mess with this guy.

The Walking Dead stars Andrew Lincoln, Steven Yeun, Norman Reedus, Chandler Riggs, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, Melissa McBride, Sonequa-Martin Green, Michael Cudlitz, Ethan Embry, Merritt Wever, Xander Berkeley, and Tom Payne.

The second half of season 6, which will feature “much more Daryl Dixon,” will return to AMC on February 14, 2016. The show is set to return for a seventh season.
