Garret Dillahunt

OK, so we have to admit that a large part of John Dorie’s allure is the fact that actor Garret Dillahunt plays him so darn well. Dillahunt, who is a HUGE fan of The Walking Dead, originally lobbied to play Negan, but we’re happy he ended up on Fear the Walking Dead where he plays a really nice guy in a world where nice guys are really hard to come by.

In addition to playing a cool character, Dillahunt is just as cool in real life. He has been sharing pictures of his adventures in Texas on his social media, along with photos from days gone bye when he had roles with other members of The Walking Dead universe. Fans have been thrilled to see how engaging he is with the TWD Family.

We have been very fortunate to have two amazing casts between these two shows in a shared universe. Dillahunt is a fantastic addition to a fantastic cast, and it’s clear from their interactions off camera that they enjoy each other in real life, too. Dillahunt’s John Dorie brings a fresh breath of air to the show and we’re glad he’s around. It’s for all of these reasons that we’re hoping to see a lot more of John Dorie in future episodes and future seasons.
