According to a recent post on the New York Daily News website, there will also be a member of the cast of AMC’s The Walking Dead added to the cast of the upcoming Blade Runner sequel.
Fans of The Walking Dead know Lennie James from his role as Morgan Jones. One of the few characters to survive since the show’s first season, Morgan has endured a very bumpy ride in the zombie apocalypse and has had his mental resolve tested on more than one occasion.
James should be a fantastic addition to the cast of the Blade Runner sequel. Watching him deal with the world around him on The Walking Dead has been great, but he has also flexed his acting muscles in other projects like Columbiana, Get On Up, and Run.
