Gregory will be portrayed by TV veteran and “24” alumni Xander Berkeley. TV Line reports that the 60-year-old actor was tapped to be part of the show last September.
Apparently, Rick and his crew are in for a total nightmare when they cross paths with Gregory and the rest of the Hilltop Colony.
However, Kirkman says that compared to Negan, Gregory is less menacing. In the comics, he betrays Rick and the others to Negan and pledges his colony’s allegiance to the Saviors.
He also attempted to kill Maggie by poisoning her drink. Luckily, Paul Monroe comes to Maggie’s rescue. His failed attempt on Maggie’s life then leads to Gregory’s incarceration in the original source.
Meanwhile, The Spoiling Dead has recently posted photos of what seemed to be the cast members filming. According to the website, the scene involved Melissa MacBride’s Carol, Lennie James’ Morgan, and a couple of unknown characters.
In one photo, a male character points a gun at someone. It is unclear if this man actually pulls the trigger on the gun or not, but it’s safe to say that Morgan is not involved in this scene as he is seen in another photo having a confrontation with Carol away from the man with the gun.
