‘The Walking Dead’ Star Moses J. Moseley Dead at 31
Moses J. Moseley, an actor on the “The Walking Dead” over three seasons, has died at the age of 31.
Moseley’s body was discovered Stockbridge, Georgia last week by local authorities. While an investigation is underway to determine the cause of death, The New York Post reports that local police suspect his death was by suicide.
The actor gained fame by playing one of Michonne’s (Danai Gurira) “pets.” Although identified as “Pet #1,” his character was later revealed to be named Mike, a person from Michonne’s past. His character was even made into an action figure by McFarlane Toys.
In an interview with Fandom.com, Moseley revealed that he started off on the show as an extra, but was later cast as one of the “pets” after submitting a headshot to the casting department in hopes of a larger role.
He also appeared in smaller, often uncredited roles in the films The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Internship, and Joyful Noise.
In addition to “The Walking Dead,” Moseley had small roles in several TV series, including “Watchmen” and “Queen of the South.”
Moseley was represented by Avery Sisters Entertainment, who confirmed his passing on its Facebook page.
“With a heavy heart, we at Avery Sisters Entertainment offer our sincerest and deepest condolences to the family and friends of our actor, Moses J. Moseley. We are truly saddened.

Our condolences to his family and friends.
