Following close on the heels of the news that Daniel Zovatto has been added to the cast of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead for its second season is the announcement that Dougray Scott has also come on board to face the show's West Coast walkers.
To me, Scott will always be the bad guy from MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE II (and he missed out on the chance to play X-MEN's Wolverine due to a scheduling conflict with the filming of M:I2), but genre fans may also recognize him from THE VATICAN TAPES and the Netflix series Hemlock Grove.
Details on Scott's Fear the Walking Dead character were not revealed, but he will be on multiple episodes of the second season's 15 episode run.
“Fear the Walking Dead” is a gritty drama that explores the onset of the undead apocalypse through the lens of a fractured family. Set in Los Angeles, a city where people come to escape, shield secrets, and bury their pasts, a mysterious outbreak threatens to disrupt what little stability high school guidance counselor Madison Clark and English teacher Travis Manawa have managed to assemble.
Scott and Zovatto join a cast that includes Kim Dickens, Cliff Curtis, Frank Dillane, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Lorenzo James Henrie, Ruben Blades, Mercedes Mason, and Colman Domingo.
Fear the Walking Dead returns to AMC airwaves on April 10th.
