'The Walking Dead' fans have become instantly obsessed with a new minor character

Warning: There are spoilers ahead for "The Walking Dead."

Sunday's episode of "The Walking Dead" was a lot more lighthearted than the season seven premiere. After losing a few big characters, the season's second episode focused on introducing a bunch of new characters in a new territory called The Kingdom.

While comic fans were excited to see King Ezekiel and his tiger Shiva adapted on the small screen, the most unexpected new character was Ezekiel's pun-filled steward Jerry.

Fans were immediately taken with him.

How could you not be when he throws in a line like this?

King Ezekiel: "Drink from the well replenish the well."
Carol: "... All about the well."
Jerry: "WELL said."

Jerry even seemed to take over immediately for now-fallen hero Abraham by throwing up a peace sign later in Sunday's episode. As we know, peace signs were totally Abraham's thing. (That might have been a bit too soon, Jerry.)

One Redditor even compared to him as a "Game of Thrones" fan favorite, describing him as "Hodor with a sense of humor."

So, who is the man behind Jerry?

Jerry's played by actor Cooper Andrews who you may have noticed on another AMC series, "Halt and Catch Fire." He has also appeared on episodes of CBS shows "Hawaii Five-0" and "Limitless."

Comicbook.com thinks Jerry could be the Hugo Reyes ("Lost") of "The Walking Dead."

Maybe. Just maybe.

We're not pushing it yet, though.
