Sonequa Martin-Green, Chad Coleman, Michael Cudlitz talk ‘Walking Dead’ season 5
The cast of “The Walking Dead” visit Larry King on the Emmy nominated series “Larry King Now” to talk about the upcoming explosive season, how they would fare in an actual zombie apocalypse and their thoughts on how the show will end.
Sonequa Martin-Green, Chad L. Coleman and Michael Cudlitz gave Larry their take on how they think “The Walking Dead,” which was just picked up for a 6th season, will end. Michael explained, “Basically they’re going to get to the ocean at some point. They’re going to realize that the entire United States is surrounded by ships from every other country. We’ve caused it. And they’re basically going to be shooting and destroying anyone who tries to get off of our island…And if that is the actual ending, Robert, I’m sorry” (clip below)
Each cast member shared their favorite part of being on the Golden Globe nominated, and Emmy winning series “The Walking Dead”. Sonequa told Larry her favorite is, “being a part of such a brilliantly written with such brilliant artists, in front of the camera and behind.” Chad remarked, “Being able to move people all over the world, with this fantastic storytelling” and Michael decided the best part to him is “the food in Atlanta.” (clip below)
