AMC tweeted out a character reveal for season 10 of The Walking Dead. Photos show actor Kevin Carroll in the role of Virgil. According to the tweet, "Virgil is a highly intelligent and resourceful and desperately trying to get home to his family."
Virgil does not appear in the comics that the series has been based on, but is original to the show's mythology. The Walking Dead season 10 begins October 6 on AMC.
The Walking Dead is the TV series adaptation of the Image Comics series created by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard.
Developed by filmmaker Frank Darabount in 2010 for AMC TV, The Walking Dead quickly became the number one franchise for the cable network. The show followed the story arcs of the comics somewhat faithfully, starting with sheriff Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) who survives a gunshot wound that puts him in a coma. When we wakes up the world he knew is gone. In this new world, the dead rise as flesh-eating walkers and Rick embarks on a journey to find his family and lead them to safety.
Rick eventually reconnects with his wife (Sarah Wayne Callies), his son (Chandler Riggs), his best friend Shane (Jon Bernthal) and the crew of survivors they've made camp with. That initial groupw includes Daryl (Norman Reedus), Carol (Melissa McBride), Glenn (Steven Yeun), Merle (Michael Rooker) and many more. The show spares no one their brutal fate is its massive cast of characters struggle to survive a world of decay and horror.
