The Walking Dead cameos you missed in World Beyond – Looper

TheWalking Dead:World Beyond's gentle giant Silas is fond of listening to old, comforting recordings from his grandparents, "Papi" and "Grammy." The actors behind the voices are uncredited, but sharp-eared Twitter user@Rejekt67 thought that Papi sounded familiar and asked showrunner Matthew Negrete, "Is Jeff Kober in World Beyond as the voice of Silas' Papi?"

While Negrete didn't directly answer the question, he did like the tweet. This prompted @Rejekt67 to jokingly ask whether that could be considered an "uncredited answer," at which point Negrete replied with a thumbs-up emoji and some exciting new information. "His grandmother is also someone from the Walking Dead universe," the showrunner revealed.

This is pretty stealthy cameo work, considering that Kober's character, the sadistic Claimer leader Joe, only appeared in four episodes ofThe Walking Dead,as well as The Walking Dead:Red Machete digital miniseries. The identity of Grammy could be an equally deep cut, seeing as @Rejekt67 theorized that the voice could belong to Denise Crosby, who appeared onThe Walking Deadas Mary, a high-ranking Terminus cannibal.However,Negrete hasn't confirmed this and until we find out more, it's anyone's guess whether Papiand Grammy are completely new characters, or if the villainous Joe and the yet-to-be-revealed other character just had a surprisingly soft spot when it comes to grandchildren.

Either way, it's cool thatTheWalking Dead: WorldBeyondis happy to include these neat, hidden surprises.
