The Walking Dead alum Austin Nichols has landed a recurring role on the fifth and final season of A&E’s Psycho prequel Bates Motel. Nichols will play Sam Loomis, a mysterious and charismatic newcomer to White Pine Bay who quickly antagonizes Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) when he tries to involve the Bates Motel’s owner in his web of lies. The fifth and final season picks up almost two years after Norma’s (Vera Farmiga) death and finds Norman (Highmore) living a double life. Publicly a happy and well-adjusted member of the White Pine Bay community, Norman struggles at home, where his violent blackouts are increasing as “Mother” threatens to take him over completely. Meanwhile, Dylan (Max Thieriot) and Emma (Olivia Cooke), now with lives of their own, soon find themselves drawn back into Norman’s insanity, while a vengeful Romero (Nestor Carbonell) hungers for a chance to destroy his stepson.

Congrats to him for finding work after the TWD.

Why? How?
With EK and AN's finding reasonably major work, SY should be getting his own series, written just for him and his talent, at this point. He's even better looking than AN.
The entertainment industry sucks.

good for him. I do wish we would get more word on what Steven is doing, but it is nice to see other cast getting roles.

I posted a tweet from Steven Yeun daily in teh Social media feed- shows the Voltran season 2 debut date in late January plus updates on Mayhem and Otja releases.
I too wish he could find a series or announce more roles. As an Asian man though, TV isn't writing much beyond Hawaii-50, Fresh Off the Boat, or Crazy Ex- Girlfriend (the male lead is Filipino), or the Aziz Ansari Netflix (?) show which is getting great reviews everywhere.
I have always wondered why Game of Thrones has not utilized more Asian cast members for characters of the seven Kingdoms, or Westworld too.
2017 should be a good year for him with a new baby, plus Trolls, Voltran and the two films coming out hopefully.

Good for him, though it is a wonder how several subpar actors from this show continue to get work. They must have GREAT agents.

Very happy for AN in getting this new role! I love Bates Motel and have been a dedicated viewer of the show from the beginning. I'm sad but I am looking forward to this final season to see how they choose to wrap things up?! I can only hope that this new character AN is playing will have normal expressions and look a hell of a lot less constipated than Spencer did in every single scene on TWD! He's such a good looking guy but I swear, I'm gonna be so pissed if he brings that "I'm thoughtfully contemplating but I look like I've been backed up for the last two weeks!" to the last season of BM, that will not be cool at all?! B-|

My apologies to Bates Motel fans who now have to suffer through his "acting."
