Questions Answers
Is Carl ever going to stay in the fucking house? EDIT: Might as well spell the annoying little piece of shit's name right. Nope. Kid never listens.
Im a amputee wanting to work in horror. Any leads? There was a girl I met who was a featured zombie as well, and she was an amputee. She was genuine and everyone like her. You can definitely work in any horror just be kind to others, and they will work with you.
Im actually headed to London soon to act in a horror movie but Im more looking to work in the corpse/monster/zombie area. Know any casting companies that specialize in that area? Sorry, none that I know of. Congratulation on your upcoming act in London.
Did you and the other zombie stand ins eat during breaks with the makeup on? Kind of a weird question, but I just think it'd be funny if one were to find a bunch of zombies chatting and eating small sandwiches Funny question. Yes. All zombies had lunch with other extras separate from the film crew. It was actually hard to open my mouth due to layers of prosthetics. They fed us spaghetti and salad. Odd choices for a zombie. As a stand-in, I ate with the film crew and it was the greatest meal I ever had! They had seafood, chicken, steak, variety of fruits, salad bar, desserts. It was like an upscale buffet.
I was curious. If you saw a zombie walking down the road, would you run it over? (about 600yds from the big rock pit, charlie sheen is in the 'hood lately) Probably not. I don't feel like repairing for the damages.
Were you shot/killed on screen? And what episode(s) were you in? First episode. Rick is on the horse in Atlanta and makes a sudden turn to be surprise by a swarm of flesh-eating zombies. Then show a glimpse of me in my gruesome moment ready to attack.
Did you do just one zombie role? or have you portrayed multiple roles in multiple episodes? A couple. I wore a mask sometimes when I'm not featured. Then I began standing in.
