The casting notice for Dillion indicates that the character might be kept around for seasons beyond Season 8, so we can bet that The Walking Dead will put a lot of thought into whoever wins the role.
Sarcasm is one of his most defining qualities, and it may have even helped endear him to others and prolong his survival.
The first new character being cast is Dillon, who is an attractive young man in his 20s.
He comes from a blue collar background prior to the zombie apocalypse, and the end of the world hasn’t meant that he’s lost his sense of human.
