Kellita Smith as Roberta Warren
Like Garnett, Roberta Warren was National guard. Having lost everyone that mattered to her she found a new purpose as second in command to Garnett. She's tough-as-nails and a strong survivor.
7.
Michael Welch as Mack Thompson
Mack Thompson is your typical All-American college jock. He was doing quite well for himself until the apocalypse hit. Matt is pretty much the same guy, only now he applies his athleticism to killing zombies.
8.
Anastasia Baranova as Addy Carver
Addison “Addy” Carver was the last person you would expect to survive the apocalypse. The girl was way too sensitive. You know “the soul of an artist” type. Needless to say, unlike Mack, Addy has changed tremendously.
9.
Russell Hodgkinson as Doc
Doc's real name is Steven Beck. Funny thing is he's not actually a doctor. He’s a self-taught ex-addict who decided a physician would come in handy in this new world. Beggars can't be choosers and Doc is someone you certainly want on your side.
10.
Pisay Pao as Cassandra
Cassandra managed to survive the end of the world, but she remains a mystery to her companions. She has a quiet strength but where exactly it comes from no one knows for sure.
11.
Nat Zang as 10K
Why 10K? This guy loves killing zombies and ten thousand is his goal. Yeah he’s keeping track of how many he’s taken down. What else do we know about him? Well, he's good with a gun and doesn’t talk much.
12.
Zombies are the real stars of Z Nation
Sure, Z Nation follows a band of survivors from New York to Calfornia, but what would a zombie series be without zombies? These guys aren't your typical "walkers" either, they'll give chase and maul you before you realize what hit you.
