I’m very protective of who he is as a character, but also of his legacy within the world of The Walking Dead.
I did have real reservations, because I have a lot of love for Morgan as a character that I’ve created.
I’ve been associated with Morgan now for going on eight years, on and off, and I’ve kind of got to a point where I think I pretty much know him.
I can confidently say out loud I know at any one moment what Morgan is thinking and what he might be doing, and one of the things that attracted me to this new landscape of playing Morgan is the possibility of being surprised by him, of finding out new things about him and new possibilities and what happens to him when he encounters people who aren’t familiar to him in the way the people in the [Walking Dead] group have been.
