Streaming Options Cordell Walker could use a friend. And the good news is that he's about to get a visit from his childhood bestie in this week's episode of Walker. The bad news is that said bestie, Hoyt Rawlins (Matt Barr), isn't exactly going to make Walker's life easier. "What Hoyt Rawlins brings out is one of the themes that we're trying to work with in Walker, which is: What does somebody do when they're stuck between a rock and a hard place?" series star and executive producer Jared Padalecki tells EW. "Walker has known Hoyt for decades, they grew up together. Then Walker went his way and decided to be a lawman and Hoyt broke bad a little bit, so Walker's in this position where there's somebody that he loves and that he knows is a really good person, but he might be on the wrong side of the law."
