Chris Coy plays the truck driver Waylon Sanders in the DC series Lanterns.
Waylon Sanders is described as a nervous truck driver and an intelligent survivor. Chris Coy portrays the character in a guest role, placing him among the people encountered during the Nebraska-centered mystery. The role is small compared with the main parts played by Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre, but it is one of the specifically identified guest appearances in the series.
Coy is an American actor whose credits include The Front Runner, The Deuce, and The Walking Dead. His casting was announced in April 2025, when Paul Ben-Victor was also announced as a recurring performer as Antaan.
Waylon Sanders should not be confused with Noah, another young supporting character played by Cary Christopher. Nor is Coy the actor playing William Macon; that role belongs to Garret Dillahunt. Because Lanterns combines a murder investigation with Green Lantern science fiction, its guest cast includes both ordinary local residents and characters tied to the larger DC mythology.
