AMC’s Walking Dead Blog got a chance to interview Melissa McBride. In the interview McBride talks about the most interesting part of playing Carol, what she thinks about the other actors, and about why Carol hasn’t killed a zombie yet.
Q: What’s the most interesting part about playing Carol?
A: What’s interesting now is her daughter has gone missing and this is her whole life, but also she’s experiencing guilt about the search for this daughter that is bringing this group of people into some really horrifying circumstances that who knows if they would have gotten into had this not happened.
Q: Has it made you self-conscious about the way you interact with people in your life?
A: When people help me out, even with something like a move or a ride to the airport, I’m always thinking “Are you sure it’s ok? Are you sure you don’t mind?” Along those terms, it is incredible what the characters of The Walking Dead are doing. I don’t think Carol can’t help thinking if it hadn’t been for her and her daughter, the group wouldn’t be in this situation.
Q: You used to work as a casting director. What do you think the secret to good casting on a show like The Walking Dead is?
A: The actors themselves have to have something that’s innate within them, something very instinctive.
Q: Can you size up the cast of the actors on the show?
A: To be quite honest, these characters are perfectly cast with the actors on the show. It’s such a talented cast and it’s enjoyable to see people matched up so well.
