10 Times You’ve Seen the ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ Cast on Other Shows
We’ve all experienced it: You’re watching a show and suddenly you recognize the actor on-screen… but you have no idea where you’ve seen him or her before. It’s like having an itch your fingers can’t quite reach.
Odds are good you’ve felt this way during AMC’s Fear The Walking Dead (especially if you’re a Deadwood fan!).
Here are 10 series that featured members of the FTWD cast, whether you recognized them or not.
Fear The Walking Dead, Season 6 Premiere, Summer 2020, AMC
Daniel Sharman, Teen Wolf
Sharman starred on the MTV drama for several seasons as Isaac Lahey, before he played the morally gray Troy Otto on Fear.
Lennie James, Line of Duty
Yes, that is Morgan wearing glasses! Before he was on The Walking Dead and its spinoff, James stared in this cop drama, which also starred Westworld’s Thandie Newton.
Kim Dickens, LOST
She played Cassidy Phillips, a love interest of Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and a onetime ally of Kate (Evangeline Lilly) prior to landing the lead role of Madison on Fear the Walking Dead.
Jenna Elfman, Dharma and Greg
If your first reaction on seeing June was to laugh, it’s probably because you remember Elfman as Dharma from this ‘90s ABC sitcom.
Danay Garcia, Prison Break
Way, way before she was Luciana, Garcia starred on FOX’s Prison Break in its third season as Sofia Lugo.
Kim Dickens and Garret Dillahunt, Deadwood
Plenty of FTWD cast came from this iconic HBO western. Dickens played Joanie Stubbs while Dillahunt (Fear‘s John) played more than one character. Dayton Callie, Jeremiah Otto on Fear, also appeared on Deadwood.
Frank Dillane, Sense8
Before playing Nick Clark for three seasons, Dillane played Sense8‘s Shugs, who starts out as one of Riley’s (Tuppence Middleton) friends — and then becomes her enemy. Potterheads would also know Dillane as a younger version of Tom Riddle, from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Alycia Debnam-Carey, The 100
Bow before your heda. Before she was slaying walkers as the youngest member of the Clark family, Debnam-Carey was fighting battles as the sword-wielding leader of the Grounder clan on The 100.
Garret Dillahunt, Raising Hope
Dillahunt played one of the comedy’s central characters, Hope’s grandfather Burt.
Colman Domingo, Euphoria
If Euphoria‘s Ali looked familiar to you, now you know why! He played Victor on Fear from 2015-2019. Fun fact: this part was written specifically for Domingo by series showrunner Sam Levinson.
