Walking Dead alum Erik Jensen cast in The Collaboration – Undead Walking

Remember way back to season 5 of The Walking Dead? Beth (Emily Kinney) befriended a doctor at Grady Memorial Hospital named Dr. Steven Edwards. He is a highly intelligent man who sadly was also a coward, which is not a good trait in an apocalypse. Edwards and the others chose to stay at the hospital after their leader Dawn (Christine Woods), was killed. And in a 2020 interview with TWDs Greg Nicotero, he stated that the hospital survivors eventually died. Edwardswas portrayed by Erik Jensen, who Deadline reports has now been cast in a Broadway production,The Collaboration.
