It has to be tough to leave a series that is as popular as The Walking Dead has been on AMC, and while Yeun cops to the whole thing being bittersweet, he seems to have a good perspective on endings in general.
Still, what seems like it would be super hard about leaving a show like The Walking Dead is that most of the time, it’s not an actor’s choice.
It likely helps that Yeun has already signed on for another gig with a new company.
Even though actors know that their careers may be short when signing on shows with a lot of deaths, like The Walking Dead or Game of Thrones, it still has to be strange to know you have finished something but that there will still be work done without you.
