AMC Q&A with Andrew Lincoln – Rick Grimes
Hot on the heels of his first performance as Rick Grimes, Andrew Lincoln does a Q&A with AMC regarding his experiences on The Walking Dead as well as what he would do in a zombie apocalypse. When asked about injecting his humor into the character, Andrew Lincoln had this to say:
“I spent a lot of my career doing rom-coms and other comedic things, so it’s kind of nice for me to play someone who is the straight guy. The thing is: If you put too much comedy into this you lose the integrity of what we’re trying to make. We’re trying to make a really [laughs] serious zombie survival horror. If that’s not an anachronism.”
Andrew Lincoln goes on to talk about what qualities he posses that would help him survive a zombie Apocalypse.
“I don’t think I have that many, frankly. I’ll get my stunt double to ride me away. I like to think that I’ve got determination and I’m fiercely protective of the people I love. And that comes in handy, but that’s kind of what the show asks. They’re very ordinary folk but they’re the survivors and it asks that question: How far away have we gone? How sanitized have we become? How out of contact with the land have we become? I’d probably be useless. I’d entertain the troops.”
