More exciting casting news straight from the set of Season 6! Corey Hawkins is slated to play Heath, a character straight from the comics! Corey’s past credits include roles in Non-Stop and Iron Man 3, BUT, the non-TWD project we’re most excited about here at Skybound: he’s going to play Dr. Dre in Straight Outta Compton (2015). So keep an eye out for that.
For comparison, here’s Heath from the comics, where he’s a supply runner in Alexandria Safe-Zone:
Also, if you start looking through Google Images for Heath, you will RUN INTO COMIC SPOILERS! Be careful out there!
What do you think of Corey as Heath? A lot of people were wondering where some key Alexandrites were last season. Looks like we’ve found at least one!
Cute & cool! He’ll do an awesome Heath. I’ve loved this character more and more over the years.
hoped be would never make it into the show :<
Awesome! Looks like another great choice!
Glad to know we’ll have Heath in the show!
And Dr. Dre? OH HELLS YEAH!!
Cool, it just seems kinda late. I like Heath and he is an awesome Alexandria regular, but they already did the supply run stuff with Glenn and Heath was nowhere to he found. This makes me think he is gonna be from the outside world and not from Alexandria, it just seems like he won’t be able to make as strong relationships with the characters if right out of the gate he is one of those “can we trust him” characters in the show. I just wish they would’ve put him in where he belonged and not alter his introduction.
I see where you’re coming from, Michonne kinda went through the same thing in season 3
I’m Glad they don’t follow the comics completely, that would be boring. So I like they are bringing him in now.
With ya.
I am so F***king happy this is finally happening! Heath is one of my favorites!
I’m excited to see how the show heath is and I’m glad they switch up things that happen so it’s not totally like the comic. It’s still worth watching and the comic are great they’re in a whole different world. I’m excited and it’s being closer…….. somewhat lol
