AMC's The Walking Dead is poised to introduce another key comic book character.
Luck alum Tom Payne has joined the cast of the zombie drama based on Robert Kirkman's comics, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Payne will join the series in a recurring role for season six — with an option for season seven — and play Paul Monroe, aka "Jesus."
The character was first introduced in issue 91 of the comics. He is a resident at the Alexandria Safe-Zone who moved to the community from another group called the Hilltop Colony. The character is a rare logical man and skilled adviser with a strong sense of morals and values who is well-adapted to the new world.
The character, still alive in the comics, becomes a key member of the group in the comics ahead of the war against The Savors and major villain Negan.
