Michael Cudlitz on Abraham’s death
In other “The Walking Dead” news, Michael Cudlitz spoke about Abraham’s violent death and the shoot sequence.
He said that shooting the death was “awesome” because when a character dies, not everyone is present on the set to watch the sequence. “With this, we had the majority of the main cast on set the day that we left and to be in that semi circle, the joy of that was in the periphery of getting to see everyone. It was really wonderful being able to see their wonderful work while they were saying goodbye to these characters that not only the audience love but that those in this world love too,” Cudlitz said.
He also said that death is an inevitable part of the show and they knew how important it was for the story to move forward. He called the entire death sequence a "cool experience." “The Walking Dead” Season 8, episode 1 is set to premiere on Sunday, Oct. 22 at 9 p.m. EST on AMC.
