DE naam Seth Gilliam zal je waarschijnlijk niks zeggen, maar deze acteur speelt in de Amerikaanse TV serie The Walking Dead die zeikerige priester waar van je al tientallen afleveringen hoopt dat hij aangevallen door zombies gaat worden. In real life is deze acteur nu door de politie aangehouden omdat hij dronken rond reed en drugs (nog onbekend welke) in zijn bezit had.

An actor who plays a priest on the AMC drama "The Walking Dead" is facing drunken driving and drug charges after police say he was clocked going 107 mph on a Georgia highway.

Police say 46-year-old Seth Gilliam was stopped shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday on Georgia Highway 74 in the Peachtree City area, not far from the set where much of the TV show is filmed in nearby Senoia.

A police report says that Gilliam told the officer he had three beers and a shot of alcohol. Police say they found a marijuana joint inside the vehicle.

Two representatives for the actor didn't immediately return phone calls from The Associated Press.

Gilliam faces speeding, reckless driving, drug possession and drunken driving charges.
