'The Walking Dead' Star Andrew Lincoln Reveals Rick Grimes' Favorite Walker Kill!
There have been several awesome walker kills in AMC's The Walking Dead over the span of 6 seasons, but Andrew Lincoln's favorite zombie slaying has little to do with violence and more to do with the emotional side of the kills. But which of Rick Grimes' walker kills is most memorable for Lincoln?
The actor recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly, where he revealed that he still remembers the first walker Rick had to put down.
"I think it's always your first," Lincoln admitted. In case you have forgotten which walker he is talking about, it was the child Rick encounters in a parking lot.
"It would have to be the girl with the teddy bear," Lincoln confirmed.
It certainly sounds like the actor has a soft spot for the unfortunate young walkers that Rick encounters in the first episode. Lincoln also mentioned the crawling zombie that was featured in one of the most riveting scenes of the show.
"I think that the other one in that pilot episode, when I put down the bicycle girl was probably the most profound one because it's when I understood what we were trying to do which is see the human behind the beast and find some humanity or lost humanity in the monster," he said.
Things have definitely changed since then, because Rick has slayed more than just zombies in the past seasons. The most recent kill had been in "The Same Boat", where a Savior claimed to be Negan and Rick immediately shot him without any thought. The difference between pilot episode Rick, who was conflicted about shooting an approaching child walker, and the current Rick is definitely a major shocker for most fans and even for Carol (Melissa McBride), who was watching when their leader killed the Savior.
Will Rick continue to kill other survivors to keep his group safe? Keep tuning in to The Walking Dead Season 6, which airs on AMC every Sunday nights.
