TV Series
Heath is a character and a survivor in "The Walking Dead", making his first appearance during Season 6. He is played by Corey Hawkins. He serves as a supporting protagonist from Season 6 onward. Much like his comic counterpart, Heath is untrustworthy of Rick's group as he thinks the Alexandrians are capable of handling threats outside of the community. He eventually has a change of heart when he watches many of his friends get torn apart before his eyes. Later on, Heath participates in the raid on the Savior compound, which proves to be harsh for him and Glenn as neither of them have ever taken a human life. After the raid, Heath leaves the compound to go on a run with Tara, bidding farewell to Glenn before departing.
Heath will return in Season 7.
