'Save Me' star Lennie James gets candid on how he created the drama and what audiences can expect in Season 2

Lennie James explains how he came up with the idea for 'Save Me,' what it was like working alongside former co-stars, and what fans can expect from the drama's second season

Most fans may recognize British actor Lennie James from his role as Morgan Jones on AMC's flagship post-apocalyptic series' 'The Walking Dead' and 'Fear the Walking Dead.' Not too surprisingly, his character took on an almost cult status among fans of the shows and proved central to numerous theories that speculated on his importance in the larger scheme of things, despite him appearing in all of three episodes in the first five seasons.

Those that have followed the 52-year-old's career a little more closely will recall his roles in the 2000 crime comedy 'Snatch' and more recently, critically-acclaimed neo-noir science fiction film 'Blade Runner 2049'. But forget the past. What he will be lauded for in the coming months will be his portrayal of Nelson 'Nelly' Rowe in drama/thriller 'Save Me'.
