‘The Walking Dead 4’ Stars Andrew Lincoln, Sonequa Martin-Green Reveal Increased Survival Risks In New Season
AMC's "The Walking Dead" will premiere its 4th season on October 13. Two of its stars reveal some new challenges that lie ahead.
While on their way to the red carpet of their premiere screening, actors Andrew Lincoln and Sonequa Martin-Green (Rick and Sasha respectively) share some insights on the highly awaited season.
On Rick's state of mind in the coming season Lincoln replies: "That's a good question, and it's addressed in the first episode. You realize that he's a man who's stepping away from that. He's a quieter man. He's stepping away from leadership and the brutality of the world, for the sake of Carl (Chandler Riggs) and Judith. No father wants to see their son turn into a sociopath. He was killing other children. He realized that, for the sake of Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) and the rest of the group, he had to step up."
On Rick's most important allies this season, Lincoln replies: "Everybody. The thing I love about Rick is that he began with the driving force, in the first episode, that got him out of bed after three and a half weeks, was his wife and child. That was his engine. And then, what happened was that he found his wife and child, and he met this other family who was this rag-tag band of misfits, and they became his apocalyptic family. People that you would never expect to join together did. And then, he lost Lori and they became even more vital to him. Hershel, Daryl (Norman Reedus), Carol (Melissa McBride) and everybody, in their own way, pulls each other through. I think that's the thing that I love most about the show. People, at different times, unexpectedly help each other just to live, like they do in life."
On whether they anticipated human threats on the show, Martin-Green replies: Oh, absolutely not! I don't think anybody has thought of it. I think everybody has thought that we have to take care of the walkers and the people who are crazy, like the Governor, (David Morrissey) and that's it. I don't think anybody is expecting any additional threats. So, it shocks everybody when they come
