Matt Barr Cast in ‘Walker: Independence’ Pilot at CW
variety.comSelome Hailu Matt Barr, who stars in the CW’s “Walker” as Hoyt Rawlins, is set to reprise the role in the upcoming pilot “Walker: Independence.”Described as a “good looking, slippery rogue,” Hoyt is a gambler and an outlaw who lays low in the town of Independence.
Cocky, confident, brash and a bit foolhardy, he’s been having an on-again, off-again affair with rancher’s daughter Lucia Montero — but after meeting Abby, Hoyt’s wandering eye appears to have frozen in place.
Well aware that Abby is a straight arrow, Hoyt realizes he might have a lot to learn from her, seeing someone who might help him step away from the life of an outlaw, taking a side for change to fight for truth, justice and the Texan way. “Walker: Independence” is an origin story set in the late 1800s following Abby Walker, an affluent Bostonian whose husband is murdered before her eyes while on their journey out West.
On her quest for revenge, Abby crosses paths with Hoyt, and their journey takes them to Independence, Texas, where they encounter diverse, eclectic residents running from their own troubled pasts and chasing their dreams.
