On Sunday night’s episode of “The Walking Dead,” viewers were introduced to Father Gabriel Stokes (Seth Gilliam), a priest haunted by his former sins as 💜he locked members of his parish out of the church, leaving them as prey for the zombie apocalypse.
Gilliam is now the third former cast member of 🐼“The Wire” to join “The Wa💞lking Dead” — as these actors trade drugs and police work for zombie hunting and survival.
His appearance also comes hot off the heels of “The Wire” reunion during PaleyFest 2014, which saw several members from the show’s five seasons reunited to ⛄discuss the show’s lasting impact.
