AMC’s Walking Dead Blog Interviews Melissa Mcbride

The Walking Dead blog over at AMC’s website has posted an interview that they did with Melissa Mcbride who plays Carol wherein she gives her thoughts  about the character and discusses her move from casting director to actress.

Q: With all that’s going on with Carol, were you you able to let yourself laugh when the cameras stopped rolling?

A: We had a blast. I loved the wardrobe for Carol. It was awful. [Laughs] But it was really great for her. I decided she got her pants on one of the home shopping channels because she can’t get out of the house much; Ed’s always looking over her back. Anyway, she got the tan, she got the brown, and they threw in the blue. You buy two, you get a third pair free. Cause they were all the same pant except a different color.

Q: You had a small but poignant part on The Mist. Were you surprised that Frank Darabont remembered you when it came time to do this?

A: I never saw The Walking Dead coming. I’d been working as a casting director. (I was acting full time, always living in Atlanta, and just decided ten, eleven years ago that I wanted to try something different.) I took just a couple of parts, The Mist being one of them, because it was Frank. When I wrapped, he thanked me and I thanked him and that was it. Cut to three years later, I’m standing in the casting office and I get a phone call from my agent saying, “Frank Darabont is shooting The Walking Dead in Atlanta and has a part for you if you want it.” I was like, “What? Where did that come from?” He is the man of great surprises in my life.

Q: What did you say when you saw him on The Walking Dead?

A: He didn’t direct any of the episodes that I was in, and I didn’t even see him until sometime near the end of shooting. I turn around and there’s Frank! And again I go up to him, I’m like, “Thank you so much for this.” He was like, “This is so great that you’re here.” Then I turn around and turn back and he’s gone. Who is this man?
