Why Dante From The Walking Dead Looks So Familiar Why Dante From The Walking Dead Looks So Familiar AMC In a post-apocalyptic world like , survival depends on a combination of skill, luck, and the right people. Some, like Rick (Andrew Lincoln), bring leadership to the table. Others, like Daryl (Norman Reedus), are good in a fight. Still others, like Glenn (Steven Yeun), are resourceful and loyal. Many of these qualities were dormant until the apocalypse forced people to change, yet there are those who were accomplished even pre-apocalypse — people like Dante. Played by Juan Javier Cardenas, Dante was an army medic before the world turned upside down. Doctors aren't so easy to come by anymore, so his medical knowledge proves as invaluable as ever to the folks of Alexandria. Unfortunately, his presence turns out to be too good to be true: Siddiq (Avi Nash) discovers too late that Dante is one of the Whisperers, a group that cleverly disguises themselves as walkers. Nothing good comes out of the revelation, the once-helpful doctor now nothing more than an enemy.
