A new ‘Walking Dead’ casting call has leaked online and it looks like Jesus is joining the cast.
According to Spoil The Dead, a new Walking Dead casting call has leaked online and casting directors are apparently looking for the character, Jesus a.k.a Paul Monroe.
Paul Monroe, more commonly known as “Jesus”, is a main character first encountered in Issue 91 of Image Comics’ The Walking Dead and is a survivor and resident who lived in a community called the Hilltop Colony which held almost two hundred other survivors. Paul now resides in the Alexandria Safe-Zone, but eventually was forced back to the Hilltop Colony. While initially mistrusted by Rick Grimes and his group, he eventually gains their respect as a valued comrade. He currently serves as Maggie Greene’s right-hand man at Hilltop.
Casting directors are looking for Caucasian or latin men to audition for the new role. “He can be a thief, but he’ll only steal half of what you have, and only if he knows it won’t cause any permanent damage. He’s generally a benevolent guy”. This is a recurring guest star role for the possibility of several other seasons.
Filming will take place starting August 22nd through November 19th.
