Fans loved Steven Yeun as Glenn Rhee on The Walking Dead, but soon they can see him in a star-studded animated Christmas movie titled The Star.

Now that Glenn is gone from the hit AMC zombie survival drama, that doesn’t mean that fans will have trouble finding him in other films and television shows. Yeun has committed to several great projects including Voltron. Trollhunters, Mayhem, and Okja.
Recently, it was announced that Yeun would be part of a star-studded cast in a the upcoming animated Christmas movie The Star. Here is a synopsis of what the film is about according to The Hollywood Reporter:
"“a small but brave donkey named Bo (who) yearns for a life beyond his daily grind at the village mill. One day he finds the courage to break free and finally goes on the adventure of his dreams. On his journey, he teams up with Ruth, a lovable sheep who has lost her flock, and Dave, a dove with lofty aspirations. Along with three wisecracking camels and some eccentric stable animals, Bo and his new friends follow the star and become accidental heroes in the greatest story ever told — the first Christmas.”"
