If The Walking Dead‘s Father Gabriel Wasn’t Already Set to Die, Actor’s DUI Should Guarantee It
 |
Didn’t any actors pay attention to Lost? If you’re on a show where regular characters can die, and you want to stay on said show, don’t get a freakin’ DUI. (If you’re the lead, and named Charlie Sheen, it’s a different story…at least for a while.)
I mean, there are plenty of other good reasons not to get a DUI too, but I’m still sore Mr. Eko got prematurely offed. Seth Gilliam was driving 107 in a 55 zone, with weed on him, and charged with a DUI, so there was presumably at least circumstantial evidence that he was high.
Father Gabriel has consistently shown bad judgment on the show, so I guess Gilliam wasn’t making a huge stretch there. Cannot imagine the Padre is long for the series now, whether or not he ever was…but I fucking double-dog-dare Chris Hardwick to bring it up on Talking Dead.
