Neil Brown Jr. recently talked about his role in The Walking Dead, what he thinks is coming up on the show and about the writer-rumours.
Did you read The Walking Dead as a comic book?
Not before the show. Somebody had told me about it - they were talking about the zombie apocalypse and how it should be made into a series, but I didn’t get to read it until after I booked the show. Then I was like, “Oh, yeah! This is awesome!”
And 'Vatos' was an episode not in the comic structure, written for TV?
Yeah, Robert Kirkmann wrote it, it’s one of the ones that he wrote, but Frank Darabont was actually the one who created the character of Guillermo.
I see that Guillermo is coming back in season two...?
I can’t say! I mean, I would love to tell you, but they are still doing writes and negotiating contracts. I’m not at liberty to say. But that was my first appearance - and it looks good!
I heard there was some question on whether the writers would be returning for season two.
Well, the series was such a strong initial hit, I think they are just focused on getting the best writers possible. And there has been some talk out there of going freelance. There are just some really great writers out there, that don’t even have the opportunity...hat have great stories, and don’t really get a chance. Frank [Darabont] has a way to make that work out for them, and give them an opportunity, so …
Obviously it’s a fan-based show. The fans make it what it is, and I’m sure there are tons of fans who are also writers themselves, who have some great ideas. And are in the business, some of them are. And leave it to Frank to give them an opportunity! I’m not saying that is what is going to happen, but that’s what the talk is around town. So I’m pretty excited about the scripts that are coming out! Of course they are watching everything closely, Frank and Robert [Kirkman].
