TVLine, meanwhile, shared this week the news indicating actor Dougray Scott also landing a recurring role for FTWD Season 2.
A representative for the network confirmed the casting to the media outlet but declined to further give additional information about his role.
However, it is said that the 50-year-old could be playing the role of Casey, a character that was mentioned in a previous casting breakdown as a "decent man who believes in civility" and is "confident in an unexpected position of authority."
Casey is further described to be a family man but is still on his way to learning the ways of being a leader.
"He regrets but accepts the necessary violence for a new vision," TVLine wrote.
Scott is well known for his roles in blockbuster films like "Taken 3," "Hitman," and "Mission: Impossible II."
Scott and Puerto will join series regulars Kim Dickens as Madison Clarke; Cliff Curtis as Travis Manawa; Frank Dillane as Nick Clark; Alycia Debnam-Carey as Alicia Clark; Lorenzo James Henrie as Chris Manawa; Ruben Blades as Daniel Salazar; Mercedes Mason as Ofelia Salazar; and Colman Domingo as Victor Strand.
"Fear The Walking Dead" Season 2 premieres Sunday, April 10. The second half of the season, meanwhile, will air "later in 2016."
