Chandler Riggs Talks With AMC’s Walking Dead Blog
AMC’s Walking Dead Blog got a chance to sit down with actor Chandler Riggs to talk about his role, what it’s like shooting a gun, and what his favorite TV Shows are among other things.
Q: Are there any actors you didn’t have a scene with in Season 1 that you’d like to work with this season?
A: Daryl Dixon. There’s the scene coming up in which I ask him if I can shoot the crossbow — and he tells Carl go pester his father. That scene was really cool for me, because that was the first time Carl has ever spoken to Daryl. There’s another scene later on with a walker too, that was fun.
Q: What are some of your favorite TV shows?
A: Phinneas & Ferb, although I know that’s kind of childish. And for movies? I really liked Super 8. If Steven Spielberg is an executive producer of anything, you know that it’s going to be amazing!
Q: Are you more into thriller movies now that you’ve been on the show?
A: It’s something I’ve always been in to. My dad was on Zombieland and I love that movie. So yeah I think I like the horror genre!
Q: Carl is always trying to use the gun — and he eventually get his hands on one this season. Were you excited to tote around these grown-up weapons?
A: This is funny: I think Georgia law says I can shoot any gun that I want when I’m 8. But I can’t touch anything that will fire a projectile on set. You have to be 14 to do it on set I think. So the gun I was carrying around was actually a cap gun. It was originally painted orange so we spray-painted it black. The knife is real too, though it is dull. One time on set, I actually pinched myself with the saw part of the blade — and my hand was gushing blood in the middle of the take! So when I lifted my shirt, I did it with one hand so I didn’t get blood all over the gun and my shirt — and make the wardrobe department angry.

I loved season 1, season 2 dragged SOOOOO much, way to much talking, and speaking of talking, pretty spot on parody of what this season has been like so far: http://youtu.be/06ufjjQ-xKE
