Kirkman notes that just as important as the character moving over is the person playing him, and that actor Lennie James will be a great addition to the revamped team — which also now includes Maggie Grace (Lost), Jenna Elfman (Dharma & Greg), and Garret Dillahunt (Deadwood, Raising Hope), as well as new showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg. “It’s going to be a lot of really great stuff for Lennie James to do,” says Kirkman. “Lennie James’ presence with that established cast in Fear the Walking Dead is going to change everything for them, and give them so much more new stuff to play off of, and really change the story in an interesting way that I feel like is going to kick start that show, and really get the engines roaring on that one.”
