In-Game vs. Reality: You Won’t Believe How The Walking Dead Cast Looks in Real Life!

With four main seasons and a couple of mini ones, Telltale’s The Walking Dead was the company’s biggest series. Calling it the best series would be more divisive since only some of the games are among Telltale’s strongest, and others definitely aren’t. Still, Clementine’s adventures were an influential part of Telltale’s rise in the industry — before their eventual fall. Plus, the title also made a big mark on the narrative game genre.

Clem didn’t do it alone, though, as many characters appeared throughout the series, both on the hero and villain side. And the voice cast did an excellent job bringing them to life. It’s only fair that they’re given proper recognition. Here are the main ones.

Relationship drama even occurs during the apocalypse, as Kate Garcia finds out during the third season. She’s the ex-wife of David and spends the season growing closer to his brother, Javier. However, once they find her ex-husband, things get complicated.

The voice behind the character is that of Shelly Shenoy. It’s not her only time working with Telltale as her voice is used in Minecraft: Story Mode. Her non-Telltale games include Red Dead Redemption 2, Gemini Rule, and the Blackwell titles.

9Luke: Scott Porter

Luke turns up in the second season as part of a group of survivors who’ve escaped Carver’s community. He quickly becomes one of Clementine’s most loyal allies. And he has a different sort of relationship with Jane.

His actor Scott Porter has lent his voice to some of the best-ever superhero games such as Spider-Man, Batman: Arkham Knight, and Injustice 2. He also has some live-action credits to his name, one of the most notable is the romantic comedy, The To Do List.

8Jane: Christine Lakin

One of the most divisive and strongest characters in the series is Jane. This survivor constantly rides the line between good and evil. But without her, Clementine likely wouldn’t survive.

Christine Lakin provides the character’s vocals. The actress has had a long career as she was a regular in Step by Step, which first aired in the ’90s. Some of her most recent work has involved voicing Family Guy characters, most notably Joyce Kinney. She also appears in sitcoms like Melissa & Joey and Modern Family.

7Kenny: Gavin Hammon

Most characters in The Walking Dead go through a lot, but Kenny might have the worst of it. The ex-fisherman loses plenty of loved ones in the first two seasons, and he doesn’t always respond well to that adversary.

Kenny shares a voice actor with plenty of other video game characters as Gavin Hammon is a regular in the industry. In Wolf Among Us alone, he plays Beast, Magic Mirror, Dee, and Dum. The actor does some film and TV work on occasion too.

6Javier: Jeff Schine

Javier acts as the main protagonist in season three. It’s not easy going for him as he has to deal with family drama while surviving walker attacks. For the latter problem, though, he does receive some help from Clementine — who many regard as the superior protagonist.

Like with many other video game characters, Jeff Shine provides the voice. Some of the actor’s biggest roles include Carlos from the Resident Evil 3 remake and Captain America from Marvel Avengers. He does appear in some TV shows too, such as SEAL Team and Masters of Sex.

5Lilly: Nicki Rapp

In the dangerous world of The Walking Dead, people don’t tend to survive for long. However, Lilly manages to persevere from the first season to the last, albeit she’s absentee for most of them. And thank god for that, as she’s not the kindest person.

At least she’s got an experienced voice actor behind her in Nicki Rapp. Rapp voices Morgan LeFlay in the Tales of Monkey Island games as well as Lili Zanotto in Psychonauts. She’s also a regular voice in The Sims series.

4Michonne: Samira Wiley

The Walking Dead games regularly get compared to the TV series, but both can claim that they include a badass adaptation of Michonne. In Telltale’s world, the katana-wielding character has to deal with the evil Norma and her people.

Michonne is actually the first video character that Samira Wiley has voiced. The actress is more known for her live-action work, primarily in Orange Is the New Black, where she plays Poussey Washington. She’s also in The Handmaid’s Tale and Will & Grace.

3AJ: Tayla Parx

In season 2 and 3, AJ is just a baby. Once he gets a little older in the final season, though, he becomes a major character. And it’s up to Clementine to guide the impressionable youth down the right path.

The kid is voiced by Tayla Parx, a woman who is much better known for her music career. That being said, she does have several acting credits to her name for shows like Bones and Victorious.

2Lee: Dave Fennoy

In season one, Lee is the main protagonist, and it’s up to him to protect Clementine from all the walkers and cruel humans around. In the process, he has to make some truly difficult decisions.

His deep tones are provided by Dave Fennoy, who voices many other gaming characters. One of his most notable roles is as Lucius Fox in both Batman: Arkham Knight and Telltale’s Batman Game. He also lends his voice to major non-video game projects like  Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Archer.

1Clementine: Melissa Hutchison

The lead character and face of the series is definitely Clementine, as she has a significant role in each of the main seasons. Throughout the adventure, she develops from a scared girl into one of gaming’s most badass heroines.

Her voice actress, Melissa Hutchison is a regular in the Telltale universe. She voices characters in Wolf Among Us, Back To The Future, Sam & Max, and Minecraft: Story Mode. Outside of the video game world, she plays Kou Seiya in the popular anime Sailor Moon.
