Walker: Independence Spoilers for episode 12 ‘How We Got Here’ follow.
Jared Padalecki’s guest appearance on walker derivative series Walker: Independence was revealed in the last episode of the show.
The actor appears in the main series as Cordell Walker, with the spin-off taking events back to the 1800s and focusing on Abby Walker (Katherine McNamara) and Hoyt Rawlins (Matt Barr).
Despite the main show being set in the modern day, Padalecki appeared in this week’s episode ‘How We Got Here’ in a scene with Rawlins.

Padalecki’s ambiguous character cracks a joke: “What did the three-legged dog say when he entered the hall? … I’m looking for the man who shot my paw!”
While there is talk of teaming up to rob a train, the two end up facing each other, with Rawlins proving victorious in the exchanged firefight.
The cameo isn’t a surprise, as Padalecki is the spin-off’s executive producer, and the star teased last year that he might appear in front of the camera.
“It’s something we’ve talked about and thought about since day one of designing Walker: Independence,” he said TVLine.
