Express.co.uk exclusively spoke to Crews’ co-star for the episode Evie/Joe, Kersti Bryan about Tales of the Walking Dead and what it was like to work with him.
She explained: “Terry Crews is like being with someone that makes you question everything, like ‘Am I doing this good enough? Am I good?’ in all ways, your health, but also he just vibes higher.
“You just sit with him and he’s asking a bigger question.
“It was an honour to work with him and he’s wonderful in it, going to break your heart.”
Evie – Olivia Munn
While trying to find Sandra, Joe comes across someone who is the “polar opposite” of him in the form of Evie.
She is also in search of someone so the pair team up to try and track them down.
