Q&A - Chandler Riggs (Carl Grimes)
Actor Chandler Riggs, who plays Carl Grimes on AMC's The Walking Dead, talks about why he's not allowed to go to the cast's "death dinners" and his most gut-wrenching scene this year.
Q: Now that Madison Lintz (Sophia) is gone, what's it like to be the only kid on set ?
A: Luckily, some of the actors act like kids, like Steven Yuen and Norman Reedus. So I hang out with them a lot. They're really fun guys.
Q: Carl played a big part in Lori's death this season. Was the material in that scene at all difficult for you to process?
A: I read the script and it was just horrifying. The whole scene felt like it took a week to shoot. It was dreadful, but you just gotta get over it and get on with it. There was no way to keep those days bright and happy.
Q: What's it been like acting on the show without Sarah Wayne Callies, your on-screen mother, and Jon Bernthal, who was a bit like a second father for Carl?
A: It's been hard having them gone -- both of them -- but I learned from them in the time I did have with them. When I signed on I knew that they would eventually get killed off, because I'd read the comics. Every now and then Sarah's on the set again. It's been cool to see her. Usually they have the death dinners that are at bars, so I can't go! I don't think [I've been to any.]
Q: You told us last year that because of Georgia's laws you can't hold a working gun on-set. This season Carl gets to use a weapon more. Has that been a welcome shift?

Why all the negative points for these posts? I love Carl this season and hes really growing into his own man now. Ive really liked his development this season.
Seriously, that's so rude. Regardless of how people feel about the character, Sweetsister didn't even post an opinion about anything; she posted an interview with one of the actors on the show. Why the hell would you give negative points for that?

Somehow, I see a future in his dogging Michnonne after this epi. She's an accomplished fighter and he now seems to consider her an ally and a friend. He could learn a lot from her - especially about thinking things through and not behaving impulsively.
Someone got negatives in this thread? For what? Unless the posts were removed, I can't understand it.

Yeah, some people gave Sweets down votes for posting the interview for some strange reason. It's all good, we voted her back up.The interview brings me back to reality with the Carl character. There's actually a pretty cool kid behind that little brat. lol.

Chandler is going to grow up into a good actor having this exposure to a lot of talent as he does the show, if he continues to pursue his acting career. It remains to be seen when he's 18. Hopefully he won't go the Corys route (Haim and Feldman) or the bad road that a lot of child actors have gone down.
Carl as the character has had definite life defining moments, being shot, seeing the man he (feels) responsible for get shot, the hectic pace along the road, starving, then his mother's death by his hand, his father's break-down and so forth. If he survives he's going to be just a BAMF adult.

I agree with you all. Great interview with an articulate, mature kid (I am not a kid person, so that is high praise from me). Carl has definitely grown on me this season.
Interesting that he mentioned Sarah has been on the set "a few times" so I guess we will see her again?
Well in the case of ricks visions I'd say yes but some of the old actors/actresses visit the set to support the current cast. I would assume Sarah developed friendships with all of the cast members she's worked with so she may be back for support or flashbacks or a vision scene.
She herself mentioned she tried to get Jon bernthal to come visit the set during her death scene
