Sergeant Abraham Ford first encounters our group in Issue 53 of THE WALKING DEAD (part of Volume 9: Here We Remain). Loyal, strong, smart, and capable, Abraham is absolutely a fan favorite in the comic universe.
We’re beyond stoked to learn that not only will he be arriving on AMC’s The Walking Dead sometime in Season 4, he’ll be played by the awesome Michael Cudlitz. Cudlitz has been all over your TV, from Band of Brothers (the best miniseries of all time, do not argue with me) to Southland. He’s definitely one of those actors you recognize immediately. And as someone who often plays military or police officers, he’s just about perfect for Abraham (even if he is more blonde than redhead—we’ll forgive it if he rocks that handlebar).
Lest you doubt how badass Abraham is, check out this page from issue 53 (and it doesn’t stop there):
With Abraham arriving, will Rosita and Eugene be in tow..?

That’s awesome. He was great in Southland.
Forgot to mention that Abraham might be the next to have their own special comic. Kirkman did say we’d maybe find out today. He’s always joking around too.
Very excited. Cudlitz put up Emmy-worthy performances in SouthLAnd.
MICHAEL CUDLITZ, WOW didn’t see this one coming. Big fan of Michael’s, but never watched Walking Dead, but that’s ok because Michael is such an awesome actor the show will only go upward and onward and become even more popular. And I will learn to love The Walking Dead. I absolutely loved SouthLand because of him. TNT’s loss is now AMC’s huge gain. Congrats Michael.
Great choice.
Abraham is by far my favorite comic character so I am beyond excited for this announcement!
Love the character! Tough on the outside, but clearly has a heart and a conscience.
