Pruitt Taylor Vince Cast as Otis in THE WALKING DEAD Season 2

 

Pruitt Taylor Vince has been cast as the character Otis in the upcoming second season of The Walking Dead. Otis is a foreman at Hershel's Farm, where a lot of season 2 will be set. This is where Rick Grimes and the other survivors take temporary refuge in the story. Otis is described as a kind and good-natured person, but that eventually changes. There is something he does in the comics when he first comes in contact with Grimes (I won't spoil for those who haven't read it), and it changes his demeanor. 

Two other characters that we will see in this include Hershel and Maggie. Hershel is described as a "Wilford Brimley type" and veterinarian who owns a farm that the survivors eventually stumble across. He's a veterinarian, and has medical experience which comes in handy for the survivors several times. A relatively fit man for his age. He is also deeply religious. His only reason for life is the protection and survival of his children. Maggie is one of Hershel's daughters.

Pruitt Taylor Vince is a familiar character actor that you've seen in several things over the years such as JFK, Jacobs Ladder, Natural Born Killers, The X-Files, Identity, Deadwood, and a ton of other film and TV projects. He does the crazy weird shky thing with his eyes. I'm sure he'll be awesome in the role of Otis. What are your thoughts?
