C Thomas Howell Returning To The Walking Dead

Veteran actor C. Thomas Howell is saddling up to “stomp out a few zombies” on The Walking Dead. The Hitcher and Outsiders star made a single cameo appearance as an unnamed Hilltop guard in Season 9 episode “Stradivarius,” the first episode of The Walking Dead directed by Howell’s friend and former Southland co-star Michael Cudlitz. In the Season 9 episode set six years after the disappearance of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), Howell’s character approaches Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Siddiq (Avi Nash) to report the whereabouts of an injured Rosita Espinosa (Christian Serratos).
