The Walking Dead Fans Give A Round Of Applause To Josh Hamilton After Season 11 Episode 20

Fans on Twitter were full of praise for Josh Hamilton, who played villain Lance Hornsby, following the character’s death on the show. Twitter user @twdecastro declared Hornsby to be a step up from the comic incarnation, saying, “Lance Hornsby was a hell of a villain & was MILES ahead of his comic counterpart. Josh absolutely killed it.” User @TheAbeFord independently agreed with the sentiment, saying that of all the changes the show had made from the comic version of Lance made him among the best new characters on the show and that Hamilton himself did a “spectacular job” with the role. User @yeahmergo was just as effusive in their praise, declaring that Hamilton was “freaking amazing” as Hornsby and reiterating that his work made the character one of the best villains in the show’s history.

User @shivtheclicker similarly pointed out that Hamilton deserved immense amounts of praise for his performance, irrespective of how people felt toward Hornsby as a character. They concluded by calling Hamilton “one of a kind!!” User @shivtheclicker continued their praise of Hamilton in another tweet, saying that Hornsby elicited a range of emotions from viewers over the course of his time on the show, but Hamilton made the transitions look effortless, demonstrating the breadth of his range in the process. User @walkthelivingd succinctly added to the praise by declaring that Hamilton warranted a spot in the hypothetical Hall of Fame for the show. Lance was also one of the last major villains the show will see, as the series is set to conclude with its 24th episode.
