Steven Yeun of The Walking Dead joins Stretch Armstrong cast on Netflix
By Adam Carlson
Fans of The Walking Dead know Steven Yeun as Glenn Rhee, but he will also be lending his voice to the upcoming Netflix animated series Stretch Armstrong.
On AMC’s The Walking Dead, Steven Yeun captured the hearts of fans around the world trough his character Glenn Rhee, a pizza boy who found his way in the zombie apocalypse while becoming a leader, survivor, husband, and father.
Those who want to see more of the actor from the hit undead drama series are in luck. Not only is he in the film Okja on Netflix, but the streaming service will be offering even more Yeun in the form of a new cartoon series based on Stretch Armstrong.
For those who don’t remember Stretch Armstrong, the concept is based on a popular toy made by Hasbro from 1976 to 1980 (and for a short time in 1990) which had arms and legs which could stretch out to amazing distances.
