All articles from The Walking Dead blog » Chad L. Coleman , who plays Tyreese  on AMC’s  The Walking Dead, talks about landing a love interest on the show and his secret to taking out an entire walker herd with just a hammer. Q: What did you know about Tyreese going into this season?  A: That Tyreese was going to go through a lot. That’s what Scott [Gimple] was saying. He was gonna get tested, and he was going to kind of get turned inside out. No actor worth his weight doesn’t want to take on stuff like that. So that’s been real gratifying and rewarding to be able to do that. Q: We come back this year and Tyreese has a girlfriend. How’d you swing that? A: Man, Melissa Ponzio is so beautiful and talented, I wish she and I had the opportunity to work together more. But it was awesome working with her. That was my mantra: Tyreese should have a love interest. I just didn’t expect Karen to die in the second episode. I want a love interest and I w...

Q&A – Steven Yeun (Glenn) Steven Yeun who plays Glenn on AMC’s  The Walking Dead , talks about Glenn’s secrets to survival and some funny fan antics he’s witnessed. Q: What do you do to get yourself in shape for the show every season? A: Norman and Andy and I have a lot of discussions about this. We do have to be strong enough to pull off what we’re asked as actors to do. But then also, we want to make it realistic, in that we don’t want these guys to be jacked or anything like that. I just try to stay relatively healthy. But when it comes to gearing up for the new season, we even had discussions about taking a one week camping trip to get disheveled and disgusting. It’s interesting, because once we start shooting we actually start getting skinnier and more malnutritioned and gaunt as we go. The first and second season, Jon Bernthal got me into boxing, and that’s been good to just get strong without making you look like you’re ‘roiding out. Q:...

November 7, 2013 Q&A - Melissa McBride (Carol Peletier) Actress Melissa McBride , who plays Carol Peletier on AMC's  The Walking Dead , talks about Carol's kill-or-be-killed mentality and why it's easy for her to cry on cue. Q: What did you know about Carol's arc going into this season? A: Not a whole lot was given to me except the wardrobe, but looking at that I could tell there was some stuff coming up for her, and that she was going to really be fighting hard to keep herself and everyone else safe. It's much more utilitarian this year. Also these boots she has: those boots mean business! They did let me know that I would sort of be teaching the children some survival skills and I was really looking forward to that. Q: Does teaching children come naturally to you? A: I think I would probably have some high expectations of the kids, like how a...

October 24, 2013 Q&A Lauren Cohan (Maggie Greene) Lauren Cohan , who plays Maggie Greene  on AMC's  The Walking Dead , talks about some traits from Maggie she's taken on and  her dog's love for walkers. Q: After last season's finale, what were you hoping for your character this season? A: I was mostly just hoping to see how all the characters fared from that and came out on the other side. How we were coping with whether or not the Governor was still a threat. What I was most looking forward to, which has really materialized, is a lot more character study, and we've definitely come into that this season. Q: What did you know about Maggie's story arc going into this season? A: I knew that we would have the possibility of a pregnancy and I knew that Maggie's M.O. this year would be, "Live, don't just survive." There's ...
