By Renee Hansen
Jason Butler Harner portrayed Toby Carlson, a member of the Commonwealth community, in season 11 of The Walking Dead. His time was short-lived, but he made an impact with his presence. Carlson was a former CIA agent who aided Lance Hornsby (Josh Hamilton) in his plight to rid himself of a group at Riverbend, but this didn’t end well for Carlson. Butler Harner is well known for his many memorable roles, and Deadline reports he has now been cast in Paramount+’s Rabbit Hole.
This series is scheduled for a fall release exclusively on Paramount+ and will consist of eight episodes for its first season. Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are the writers and directors for the series. This duo also directed the pilot for the wildly popular “This Is Us.”
Additional cast for the series includes Keifer Sutherland, who also executive produces, Charles Dance, Meta Golding, Enid Graham, Walt Klink and Rob Yang.
This series follows James Weir (Sutherland), a private espionage operative in the middle of a war to preserve democracy in a world ripe with misinformation, behavioral manipulation, and the surveillance state and those in control of these powers. Butler Harner portrays a character named Valence.
