According to The Hollywood Reporter, British actor Tom Payne has been cast for season six of The Walking Dead as comic book fan favorite Paul Monroe aka "Jesus". Payne will have a recurring role in the series with an additional option to return the following season. It should be noted that his character is still alive in the comics...Just saying.

With this casting news I think its only safe to assume that the super nasty bad guy Negan could be joining the cast to torture our favorite Walker survivors...at least one can hope.

The Walking Dead returns to AMC on October 11th.
