The Walking Dead Cast Members Reveal How They Want Characters to Die

Death on The Walking Dead happens almost regularly, so it's no surprise that the topic comes up with the actors on the show. In a new interview with EW.com, they reveal how they would like their characters to die.

SPOILER ALERT: Some of the answers contain spoilers on character deaths in the comics, so proceed with caution.

"Steven Yeun (Glenn): You know what, I really like what's already been said [in the comic]. I think Robert Kirkman did a really amazing job with that. That's hard to top. What a way to take out a character, and a character that's been there for so long, by just snatching him away from the viewers and the readers. And it really shows the brutality that is the world that they live in. And I think if I were to go, that'd be a perfect way to go. My cousin actually, he read issue 99 and he's like, 'Dude, I think you might be dead. He's too happy. Glenn seems too happy in [issue] 99.' And sure enough, 100 came out and I think Kirkman emailed me, or called me or messaged me. He was great about it. But you know, it didn't affect me too much. I was more just like, 'Dude, I can't believe you took him out like that!' Like, that's gnarly."

In the comic, Negan makes his memorable debut when he bashes Glenn's head in with his barbed wire baseball bat called Lucille.

"Andrew Lincoln (Rick): I've always said, I don't care how it goes, but maybe a kid should take me out. It's funny, because I was in the car yesterday, and I texted Scott Gimple and I said, 'Promise me, when I die, on the credits sequence, you play Johnny Cash's version of 'Hurt.' And he just said, 'I can't make that promise obviously.' So when I die, please print it in your magazine so that the fans will know to play it, even if we can't. Even if Scott Gimple decides not to, please everybody play 'Hurt.'"
