Chandler Riggs was ten years old when he started working on The Walking Dead, and he turned 18 during the Season 8 production.
After all, The Walking Dead does not skimp on killing off main characters, which should be obvious, considering the topic at hand.
Wakes and funerals were some of my least favorite thing in the world when I was a kid, so I can’t imagine I would have been overjoyed to experience multiple funeral-ish celebrations a year, especially for people I knew well.
Out of everything he experienced during that time, it’s honestly no shock that the element he’s glad to put behind him involves the cast and crew’s death dinners, which are held every time a cast member gets killed off.
