Details are being kept under wraps about West’s role, but it is said that his character is not directly from the source material. Instead, he is a “remix” of someone from the comic series.
The site also notes that, like other recently-added characters, West will be credited as a “guest star” for the second half of season 4 with an option to become a series regular in season 5.
Other new cast members for the fourth season of The Walking Dead include Larry Gilliard Jr., Josh McDermitt, Michael Cudlitz, Alanna Masterson and Christian Serratos.
The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9/8c on AMC.
