The CW's upcoming family drama, Walker, continues to populate its Austin, Texas-based ensemble, which is also shaping up to be the Facial Hair Event of the Year. It was recently reported Matt Barr (Valor) would recur as Hoyt, the scruffy, trouble-prone best friend of star Jared Padalecki's Cordell Walker and, this week, TV Insider has learned exclusively that Jeffrey Nordling has been cast in the recurring guest-star gig as Stan Morrison.


Described as "a successful businessman and a networker — fast talking and all grins and finger guns," Morrison is a close friend of the Walker family. Padalecki's Texas Ranger character even refers to him as “Austin’s finest string-puller.” In other words, trouble.

This guy sounds like the villain/big bad of the season 1, given it's a recurring role.

The original series had such a character, until he was killed off for good.

Ah, yes, looks like this will be their take on him. 

Looking forward to seeing this villain in action. Hopefully, they won't feel the need to have him kill Cordell's brother or parents, his wife's death is more than enough to keep the story going for a season or two

And don't run the character into the ground.  Have him pop up once or twice a season, but no more.

Yeah they can overdo it sometimes in shows. Good one.

I know.
