Two of the Latino roles on The Walking Dead spinoff went to actors who are, respectively, of Italian and Swedish descent. "In this town, it's as if Hollywood tries not to cast Latinos,” says Hector Becerra. A producer defended the casting choices, but as Becerra notes: “It doesn't seem like it should be a Sisyphean ordeal for a show set in L.A. to cast a Latino as a Latino."
