Dave (TV Series)

"For new friends and better days...and to our dead...may they be in a better place."

- Dave to.

Dave was a survivor who had been traveling around for an unspecified amount of time since the apocalypse began with Tony, Randall, Sean, Nate, Jane, and around 30 other survivors.

Location Unknown
Nothing is known about Dave before the apocalypse started, except for the fact that he may have been from Philadelphia.

"Nebraska"
They arrive at Patton's Bar that Hershel and Rick have occupied, and comment on the fact that they are both still alive. Dave, the "people person" of the two, is seemingly thrilled to find other survivors. However, Hershel and Rick instantly find the men untrustworthy when they mention the farm's existence when neither had mentioned it before, as well as Rick's natural instinct upon learning Dave's humor in stealing his pistol from a dead officer. An overzealous Glenn acknowledges the farm's existence until Rick steps in and says that Dave and Tony will not be coming with them.

Dave once again attempts to earn the survivors' trust before the shoot-out, casually leaping over the bar and placing his gun on top the counter while looking for better liquor. Upon withdrawing a bottle of whiskey, Rick rebuffs his inquiry of the farm once again before Tony gives away what is obviously an ambush. As Dave goes for his gun, Rick whips out his revolver and shoots him in the head, killing him instantly before doing the same to Tony.

Trivia

 * This character, along with Tony and Randall, were announced in a casting call that was put out to the public in December. Dave and Tony were shown in a preview clip of Nebraska that aired on January 16, 2012.
 * Dave is the one to mention the title "Nebraska", as he mentions it could be a safe-haven due to its low population and that Nebraska has lots of guns. He is also the one to acknowledge the fate of Fort Benning, though he may have in fact lied about it.
 * Dave and his group referred to the zombies as "Roamers", the common name for them in the comic, as opposed to the term "Walkers" commonly used in the TV show. Upon hearing the latter term he laughing states that prefers it. They have also used the term "Lame Brains", implying this may be a regional slang for Zombies.
