AMC’s Walking Dead Blog Interviews Steven Yeun
AMC’s Walking Dead Blog posted up a Q&A they did with actor Steven Yeun. In the Q&A Yeun of course talks about the Glenn and Maggie sex scene but he also talks about filming the well scene, his time at the Second City Comedy Club, and if he can actually play the guitar.
Q: How has Season 2 been different from the first for you?
A: I think there was a learning curve. We kind of had the pressure trying to recreate the chemistry that everyone had from the very beginning, but we figured it out. And once we figured it out, we fell right back into our groove.
Q: You spent some time at the legendary Second City in Chicago. How has your experience at the comedy club helped you on The Walking Dead?
A: If anything it’s the improv training that’s helped. It’s nice to take a step back from a script and think about how you would say something personally — and then apply that. What’s cool about the show is that it stretches me in ways that I wasn’t stretched at Second City. On the show you kind of have to kill jokes. You can’t play them too big or it breaks the reality of the situation. So they’ll write a joke in the script, but you have to just drop it and put it on the ground and say it as realistically as possible.
Q: Do your former Second City cohorts approve of your move from comedy to horror?
A: If you work in Chicago in the improv scene, anyone is happy for you if you get a job. Doing anything. We’re barely scraping by!
Q: You stated once that your parents were upset when you told them you were not going to be a doctor or lawyer. Have they come around yet?
A: Oh absolutely. They’re now on full-throttle brag mode. They’re Korean parents, and they just wanted me to have a structured, safe life and when I told them I wanted to do this they were worried that I’d be struggling. This industry is up and down, but right now they don’t have to worry about me.
Q: Glenn has to get a “secret” product for Lori. Has anyone ever confided in you in a similar way? Are you good at keeping secrets?
A: People do confide in me! Those moments are terrifying because you have information and so much weight that doesn’t have anything to do with you. I’m good at keeping secrets, but if it’s not something super serious I usually tell people not to tell me because I’ll tell someone else.
