Ryan Hurst's 'The Walking Dead' character, Beta, never took off his mask on the show since joining the zombie series on season nine. Visit Insider's homepage for more stories. Actor Ryan Hurst, who plays Beta, told Insider how he came up with the update to the character. While I’m sure, a similar arc of why she will want to stay with Grimes’ group will emerge it seems as if it could be a bit harder to work into the story arc. In the comics, Beta is a famous basketball player. We know that there will already be a considerable change in the dynamic here as much of Lydia’s character evolution has developed from falling in love with Carl Grimes who, as we all know, is no longer alive in the television series. Hurst will be joining Samantha Morton who is playing Alpha and Cassady McClincy was is playing Alpha’s daughter, Lydia. Not only is he a musclebound brute, but he is also cunning and a massive thorn in the sides of those who have survived so far with Rick Grimes. He is secretly in love with her which is evident to nearly anyone even if he is in denial about it. Hurst is not the first actor I would have thought to play the role of Beta but now that he has been announced it feels like a perfect fit!įor those unfamiliar with the character, Beta is second-in-command to the leader of The Whisperers who goes by the name of Alpha. ![]() ![]() While Hurst has technically done genre work that fits into horror with ‘Bates Motel.’ I’m pretty sure we can all agree that playing the part of Opie on ‘Sons of Anarchy’ is probably the best example of his acting which would fit for this part. With The Whisperers coming to AMC’s ‘ The Walking Dead‘ it was only a matter of time until we heard who would be playing the hulking Beta and now have learned that Ryan Hurst (‘Outsiders’,’Bosch’) will be tackling the role.
