Director: Clark Johnson
Writer: Evan Reilly
Location: Atlanta area
Start Date: 9/8 – 9/19

[DAVE] 30 to 45. Male. Any ethnicity. A charming, friendly guy from a city in the Northeast (very different from our Southern folk). He’s the kind of guy you’d like to have a beer with and has probably spent a significant amount of time in low-rent bars. He’s able to disarm with a smile, but can quickly turn dangerous. Guest star.

[TONY] 25 to 35. Male. Any ethnicity. Please submit heavy-set character actors. Dave’s younger friend with whom he is traveling. Tony is quick tempered and doesn’t present himself as intelligent as Dave. He likes women and food and guns. He is from a city in the Northeast (very different from our Southern folks). Guest star. 

There will also be someone named ‘Hustla’, played by Estonian actor Andrei Batychko.

Aaron Munoz has been cast as ‘Tony.’

Q: Congrats on the well deserved Emmy nod for Season One of ‘The Walking Dead’ – my one question would be, Having taken ‘The Walking Dead’ due in big part to your long relationship with Director Frank Darabont and loving his cinematic vision, does the job have the same passion for you now that he’s no longer with the show?

GN: Listen, I’ve been best friends with Frank for eighteen years, but I love the show. I love the actors. I mean get to go to work everyday with Jon Bernthal and Andy Lincoln and Sarah Wayne Callies and Laurie Holden and that fantastic cast and I get to go to work with that crew every day. But I tell you, I’ve done eight hundred projects and I would put the crew and the cast of ‘The Walking Dead’ up against any of them – it’s the best group of people I’ve ever worked for. I get to work with Gale Anne Hurd and some of the best directors on the planet and I’m really proud of it. But I’m really proud of what Frank created – because Frank created the show. He laid the groundwork for it and cast all these actors and had a big hand in it. So…

…I love the show so much and it is what it is because of what Frank did. You had a bunch of really dedicated people who want the show to be great and would fight for the show to be great – we’re all in that boat. What’s funny is we’re coming to a sort of mid-season hiatus on Sunday and the fact that I can’t talk about the last six episodes will drive me insane because the show – the second half – is so fantastic that I really can’t wait for people to see it. It goes to so many great places and the actors have so much great stuff to do. I’m so excited about it, aside from one of the episodes I directed…

Q: You actually directed an upcoming episode?
GN: It was one of the greatest experiences in my career and to be able to direct that cast and have the crew behind me going, ‘Dude, anything you need’ – it was amazing. I had a great script and I had a fantastic episode. I had eight days to shoot my episode and it was the most rewarding time of my career. To be able to stand there behind the camera and direct Norman Reedus and direct Andy Lincoln and direct Jeff DeMunn and to work with these people and collaborate with them on a different level – it’s a very rare opportunity that I’ve been given. Because I’m a make-up effects guy who’s been made a Co-Executive Producer and I directed second unit for six months, I directed my own episode, so I’m proud that my finger prints are on that show.

The Walking Dead isn’t exactly a show known for its upbeat, sunny disposition.

But, following events from Sunday’s midseason finale, Norman Reedus says life in this zombie-filled universe is about to get very dark. Isn’t it already pretty dark? I asked over the phone.

“It’s about to get even darker,” the actor said. “For everybody.”

“Sophia represented this other way of life to Daryl,” Reedus explained, referring to the 12-year old who was revealed to be a walker in the final few moments of the 2011 finale. “She was his hope for a new new beginning. If he could find this little girl, he could put a lot behind him… with that gone, let’s just say Daryl is gonna be really pissed.”

Does her death signal the end of farm life for this cast of survivors?

“I think it’s kaput, yes,” Reedus said.

While The Walking Dead has enjoyed massive ratings, some have criticized the drama for moving too slowly throughout its opening set of season two episodes. Reedus isn’t among them, but he does admit that he prefers action to conversation.

“I’m always moving on set,” Reedus says. “I don’t like to play this character with my two feet in the same spot for very long. I don’t think Daryl is someone who wants to just sit and talk very much. He wants to get out there and do something.”

Fortunately for Reedus and for millions of viewers, there will be plenty of opportunities for just that when season two resumes in February.

“The second half is just crazy,” says the actor. “People are done talking. When we come back, trust me, there’s nothing but fireworks.”
