Walking Dead universe actor Austin Amelio featured in Sucker Punch video

Actor and avid skateboarder Austin Amelio is well known within The Walking Dead universe for being one of a few characters to crossover to another series. Amelio portrays Dwight, who began his journey as a Savior on The Walking Dead who would then cross to the first spinoff series, Fear the Walking Dead, during its fourth season. Fans of Amelio know he is a fantastic skateboarder, and he has been featured in another video titled Sucker Punch by Roger Skate Co. 

The new video was published in December 2022 and features Amelio and his impressive skating skills. If you follow him on Instagram, you can see several posts building up to the video’s release. He also shared that he was featured in the “bible,” referring to the skater’s bible, Thrasher Magazine. 

In November 2022, Amelio attended the premiere viewing of Sucker Punch held at Feel So Good Records in South Austin. At this event, it was announced that Amelio and Garrett Young, also featured in the video, are Roger’s newest pros.
