'Fear the Walking Dead': 10 Things You Didn't Know About the 'Walking Dead' Spin-Off5 of 10
The casting is inspired by 'Sons of Anarchy.'
When the original "Walking Dead" series debuted, the stars were generally unknowns. Thanks to the show's popularity, well-known actors including Dickens, Curtis, and Rubén Blades signed on for “Fear the Walking Dead.” But Erickson doesn't plan to hire any more A-listers. “My old boss Kurt [Sutter] was very good about finding really interesting actors who may not have been getting a lot of work and finding a way to thread them into the world of 'Sons of Anarchy.'"
Erickson intends to use the same casting strategy and singles out a performer for special recognition. “A new character [Slate] that will arrive in the back half of the season is played by Colman Domingo. He’s an amazing actor.”
