Another Whisperer has been added to Season 9 of “The Walking Dead”: “Sons of Anarchy” alum and “Remember the Titans” star Ryan Hurst has been cast as a recurring guest in the role of Beta, AMC confirmed to TheWrap on Monday.
Beta is second-in-command to Samantha Morton’s Alpha, the leader of The Whisperers, a group that arrives in the comic books after the All Out War storyline to antagonize Rick Grimes and company.
Hurst is one of several new characters arriving to the longstanding zombie drama in Season 9, including Morton and Cassady McClincy, who will play Alpha’s daughter Lydia.
