The Walking Dead Khary Payton’s daughter stars in the series
By Renee Hansen
The Walking Dead series takes TWD Family roles seriously by including family members of the actors in the series. We’ve seen this with Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s family and the Lintz family in The Walking Dead and Austin Amelio’s son in Fear the Walking Dead.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s wife Hilarie portrayed his on-screen wife Lucille in season 10c, and his son Gus portrayed a child walker in season 11. The Lintz family has three members who have acted in the series; Madison played Carol’s daughter Sophia and her brothers Macsen and Matt portray Henry at different ages.
In the sixth season of Fear the Walking Dead, during Grace’s dream sequence, she sees a future Dwight with his son John who his real son portrayed.

During the trailers for season 11 of The Walking Dead, there have been clips of an adorable child, Celeste, dressed as Mercer for the Halloween celebration. This is none other than Khary Payton’s daughter. Payton is well known for his role as King Ezekiel in the series.
Payton shared this news during his take over of The Walking Dead’s Instagram page.
Other tidbits he shared with fans include some great photos of some fur friends he has made on set.
Payton also shared that he has voiced Cyborg of OG Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go for almost 20 years.
He also shared a great “Who wore it better?” post. What do you think?
Check out his Twitter thread as well.
When I got this job, my daughter, Maya, wasn’t too happy. It meant I would be away in Georgia much of the year. She’d say, “Just quit, daddy. Adults quit their jobs all the time!” I’d fly home as often as I could but during the pandemic, it’s been especially tough.#TWDFamily pic.twitter.com/zT4LVQFvuO
