Birch will play a character named Gamma who is a member of the Whisperers who is wildly protective of Alpha. Carroll will be playing a character named Virgil who Hurd said encounters the group but is “desperately trying to get home to his family.”

Hurd adds, “We look forward to sharing their stories and these fine actors with you.”

Whatever Happened To Thora Birch From Hocus Pocus?

Quote:

Still famous enough for The Walking Dead

Since it started in 2010, The Walking Dead (TWD) has helped launch its fair share of careers: those of Jon Bernthal, Danai Gurira, and Steven Yeun to name a few. There's no reason why it can't also propel a former big-name actor back to her rightful glory. In terms of ratings and cultural heft, TWD itself has dropped a few new notches since its peak phase, but maybe Thora Birch and television's longest-running don't-call-it-a-zombie-series can help each other out.

In TWD season 10, Birch plays a prominent member of The Whisperers — a deeply twisted post-apocalyptic gang that dresses themselves up in detached walker skin to fit in with the actual walkers. The Whisperers also seem to really enjoy decapitating people; they cut heads off and jam them on spikes as if they're getting paid for it. Whisperers are sick as heck.

No spoilers, but it goes without saying Birch's TWD gig lives on borrowed time. The show is on the cusp of its final season, which compounds its already notoriously casual attitude about killing characters off. But no matter how long it lasts, at least we can all say we've seen Thora Birch on television with what looks like aging beef jerky all over her head.
