The Walking Dead - IronE Singleton Interview

Share on Reddit

Were you at all familiar with The Walking Dead when you got cast on the show?

IronE Singleton: I was not familiar with it at all; I just knew that Frank Darabont and Gail Anne Hurd were on the project as executive producers and that excited me enough to want to be a part of it.

What drew you to T-Dog, or was there something about the subject matter that turned you on?
IronE Singleton: Yes, the subject matter because it was relative to what we are going through here now given the present state of our economy and this dismal state that we've been going through for the past so many years. I thought it was a perfect metaphor for life; I thought, "this is what we're dealing with and people will really be able to relate to it", and they have. That's the reason why the show is so successful; the audience can see a lot of themselves in our characters and the struggles our characters face. They see themselves going through the same things.

Do you ever get used to seeing the extras walking around the set in full make up?
IronE Singleton: Sometimes (laughing). For the most part yes but it depends on how hideous the zombie – the walker – is. Like that well walker, I don't know if I could get ever get used to seeing him walk around like that. Certain other zombies, too. I call them my marquee zombies; they're just too hideous to ever get used to.
