The Walking Dead spin-off series, which is titled Cobalt, has found its male lead in Cliff Curtis.<\/p>\n

The star’s acting credits include Fire Lord Ozai in The Last Airbender<\/strong> <\/em>and Javier Acosta in Fox’s 2014 series Gang Related<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Though AMC declined to comment on who Curtis will be playing, we’ve narrowed it down to Sean Cabrera, a “Latino male in his early 40s… a good man trying to do right by everyone else in his life”, mainly because he’s listed first in the character descriptions. <\/a><\/p>\n

Curtis is the third cast member to be announced, following the news that Frank Dillane (Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince<\/strong><\/em>) and Alycia Debnam-Carey (Into The Storm<\/strong><\/em>) are also joining the show earlier this week.<\/p>\n
