The Walking Dead’s Rick Grimes Opens Up About Killing Off Cast Members

0

Andrew Lincoln reveals what it’s like to kill off cast members on The Walking Dead and it sounds miserable…

During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Walking Dead actor, Andrew Lincoln, opened up about the big moments in this season of The Walking Dead. One of the most upsetting moments for Lincoln was when he had to kill off one of his favorite actors and cast members.

During one episode, a character was introduced and killed off in a single episode and that didn’t sit well with the actor.

“Ethan was the sweetest,” said Lincoln, whose character Rick had to put a knife in the back of Ethan Embry’s character’s head. “Such a talented amazing guy, welcomed to the show, and then had to take him out again. He said, ‘No, it’s great! I watch it with my son, man! I’m thrilled you’re taking me out! And I get bit, I get the whole zombie experience.’ There was one day on set I was like, ‘What are you doing?’ It was his first day. We killed him on his first day, as we like to do. He had a big hole in his neck and I think he was smoking one of those electronic cigarettes, and I thought it was going to come out of the side of his neck. I think he was Skyping someone or doing FaceTime with someone, and he got all the zombies to do the ‘Thriller’ dance behind him. He was looking at me like, “Are you kidding me? Check this out!” He was completely like a tourist sending all these links back to his son.

“It’s that thing I say every time we kill someone off: ‘Do we really have to take this guy down?’

“He was a brilliant actor,” continued Lincoln. “It’s that thing I say every time we kill someone off: ‘Do we really have to take this guy down?’ Because he’s amazing, and also he gave voice to the rebellion that was happening in Alexandria, and did it so well, so grounded. I really bought the fact that he was a working man, but someone who wasn’t willing to concede to this maniac Rick.”

Andrew Lincoln also revealed that he accidentally punched a hole in the wall of a set right before filming one of the most intense scenes of The Walking Dead.

“I didn’t realize that the great design team had put in a false wall. I’m not going to pretend that I have superpowers that I can punch through walls. I was getting psyched for a scene and I just thought I’d hit the wall a couple times. They’re setting up this shot and Greg Nicotero’s directing. He went ‘Andy, Andy,’ and I just pushed and it went all the way through the wall. I went, ‘I’m so sorry. Is that in shot?’ They went, ‘Directly in shot.’ I felt like an idiot. I think they had to re-patch it for the actual take, but I just got a bit overexcited and got carried away with it.”

‘ I felt like an idiot. I think they had to re-patch it for the actual take, but I just got a bit overexcited and got carried away with it.”

The Walking Dead Season 6 latest news:

According to reports, Xander Berkeley would be a part of The Walking Dead season 6, but his role on the show has not been confirmed until recently. TV Line reports that Berkeley will be playing Gregory, a character from Robert Kirkman’s comics, who Rick and friends encounter at the Hilltop Colony, another safe-zone near Alexandria.

It’s worth noting that you might not like this new character but, he will bring a ton of drama, excitement and villains to the Walking Dead series.

We will also meet at least two new characters in the second half of season 6. There’s “Jesus” played by Tom Payne, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan, a very bad guy from the comics, which we will finally see towards the end of the season.

The Walking Dead season 6 returns on Feb. 14, 2016.

Less than 1% of ‘Fast & Furious’ Sales Went to Paul Walker’s Charity

Here’s an inside look into Paul Walker‘s charity, Reach Out Worldwide.

Like it or not, Paul Walker’s death is the main reason why Furious 7 sold so many movie tickets and turn it into a billion dollar franchise. But, according to a NYPost report, Paul Walker’s charity only received 0.7% of Fast and Furious sales.

You may recall that Universal Pictures had promised to donate a “portion” of their DVD and Blu-Ray sales for Fast & Furious 6 to Paul Walker’s Reach Out Worldwide nonprofit in 2014. That portion turned out to only be $1 million, which is less than 1% of all total earnings.

Paul Walker Death Hoax

Paul Walker died nearly three years ago with his friend Roger Rodas. Paul Walker, who was only 40 years old, was a passenger in a Porsche Carrera GT as the duo left a Reach Out Worldwide event in California in order to raise money for the victims of the Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

Paul Walker founded his charity in 2010 to help the victims of natural disasters. But, donations came few and far between. In fact, Donations to Reach Out Worldwide totaled under $20,000 in 2010. And, his charity never made more than $700,000 before his death. The biggest donation came after Always Evolving auto dealership owned by Paul Walker and friend Rodas, donated $607,766 worth of stock.

But, after his death, donations skyrocketed. In 2014, the charity took in $1.9 million from various organizations and people including Universal and the company that produced the Fast & Furious 6 video game.

However, Reach Out Worldwide’s charity only gave $81,269 to the victims of tornadoes in Arkansas and Oklahoma and the typhoon in the Philippines, according to their tax records.

According to the NYPost, the group said they were satisfied with Universal’s contribution. He said the group also spent $109,222 in addition to the $81,269 in 2014, “boots on the ground deployments to disaster zones.”

Why Star Wars’ Hayden Christensen Quit Acting

Here’s the real reason why Star WarsHayden Christensen quit acting after starring in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Hayden Christensen was only 19 years old when he became world famous after being cast to play Anakin Skywalker in the 5th installment of the sci-fi film series. After being on top of the world, Christensen immediately quit acting. So why would Hollywood’s biggest A-lister at the time quit all of a sudden?

The acting star admitted he felt like a “fraud” whose success and fame was “a little too handed”.

I didn’t want to go through life feeling like I was just riding a wave.”

In a candid interview with the Los Angeles Times, Hayden said: “I guess I felt like I had this great thing in Star Wars that provided all these opportunities and gave me a career, but it all kind of felt a little too handed to me. I didn’t want to go through life feeling like I was just riding a wave.”

After playing Anakin Skywalker, Christensen would quit acting and become a part-time farmer in Ontario, Canada. He would spend his time learning how to raise livestock, growing crops, and using agricultural machinery. Explaining why he did he said, “There was something in the back of my head that was like, ‘if this time away is gonna be damaging to my career, then so be it. If I can come back afterwards and claw my way back in then maybe I’ll feel like I earned it’.”

“There was something in the back of my head that was like, ‘if this time away is gonna be damaging to my career, then so be it. If I can come back afterwards and claw my way back in then maybe I’ll feel like I earned it’.”

Hayden would quit acting after Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith in 2005, choosing instead to star in smaller roles. His most recent movie was the Christian drama 90 Minutes in Heaven, which filmed in Atlanta, Georgia. 90 Minutes in Heaven is an adaptation of the bestselling book about a Baptist pastor who was pronounced dead after a devastating car accident — only to come out of it an hour and a half later fully recalling a vision of heaven — the film has been scripted and will be directed by Michael Polish.

Unfortunately for Christensen, 90 Minutes in Heaven premiered to disastrous results and flopped in the box office. In fact, one reviewer called the movie “So deeply terrible that it will make you question the existence of God. The dialogue is the least natural I’ve ever seen in a film not made by Ed Wood.”

Would you quit acting even after starring in a Star Wars movie? Share with us your thoughts about Hayden Christensen in the comments below!

Background Actor Lied About Playing ‘Star Wars’ Stormtrooper TR 8R

Aspiring actor caught pretending to be man behind the Star Wars stormtroopers mask.

It’s probably every young actor’s dream to land a lead role in a Star Wars movie. But, one aspiring English actor was caught after he claimed he played a stormtrooper that has become a viral sensation over the past few days.

The 23-year-old aspiring actor, Alex Rolt, was an unknown actor from London, England and quickly became an internet sensation when he told everyone he played the masked storm trooper who shouts “traitor” in an epic fight scene with John Boyega’s character, Finn.

Fans went crazy when Rolt told the world he played the stormtrooper in an interview with his local news paper.

The drama school grad claimed he had been chosen to fight against Boyega because of his fencing experience in school. He told reporters, “‘They got me in the stormtrooper outfit but the prop didn’t have a clip or anything on the uniform, so I had to hold it in a certain way then deliver the line: “Traitor!” ”

The interview went viral on social media, and Rolt was praised around the world from fans of the Star Wars series.

But, the force was not with Rolt as he was exposed by the Star Wars production company LucasFilm when it was revealed the role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens was really played by veteran stuntman Liang Yang.

Rolt was forced to make a public apology last night after it was discovered he was lying and only had a small extra role in the movie. Saying on Twitter: “Sorry for doing this to all the fans.Was a joke that got out of hand. My career is tarnished.”

Well, fans of the Star Wars franchise took to Twitter to bash the aspiring actor.

Rolt is not the first wannabe actor that got caught lying about appearing in a movie. Last year, one aspiring actress told reporters that she had a major role in Furious 7Lafontaine, a background extra, was at the premiere of ‘Furious 7’ and was interviewed by a blogger. The interview was then posted on CNN’s iReport and titled “Furious 7 World Premiere with the only female stunt car driver Sulinh Lafontaine.” Of course the report gained a lot of attention. The stunt community soon noticed the article and were outraged at what she was saying.

According to the NYPost, it’s pretty expensive. You have to pay for the dress, professional stylists, and tailor, “For a major red carpet like the Golden Globes, that means a payday of over $10,000 for several days of work.” But, did you know studio executives foot the bill for your favorite actress’ wardrobe.

Then it comes down to the hair and makeup. Apparently, it costs over $6,000 for hair and another $5,000 for make up. In fact, hair stylists charge about $2,000/day.

He commands a reported $2,000 day rate. Multiply that times Abergel’s estimation of a few days of prep, and you’re looking at $6,000.

In addition, make-up artists charge $1,500/hour and that must include a consultation meeting. Did you know Amy Adams spent $5,000 for her make up last year?

The biggest expense is jewelry as celebrities rent out fashion jewlery for the Golden Globes. But, for major actresses wearing $300k earings and bracelets, professional security is hired just to protect the diamonds.

It is important to point out that Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence are rumored wear the same outfit. Maybe it will be somethign special? While they may not actually wear the same dress, they are both may end up presenting together.”Jennifer was on Seth Meyers‘ show recently and made the comment that she would love to present with Amy but nobody’s asked her to. Of course, the minute we heard that we were on the phone the next morning,” producer Barry Adelman told Vanity Fair. “Sometimes when people are nominated, they don’t feel like presenting. They’d rather just go through the process of the show, but we may be in luck on that. Stay tuned. We’ll see how it’s going to turn out.”

“Sometimes when people are nominated, they don’t feel like presenting. They’d rather just go through the process of the show.”

Despite all of this money spent on clothing, nails, hair, and wardrobe, expect Ricky Gervais not to hold back tonight. “It’s a challenge. I always write my own jokes, I can say what I want—and it’s live,” he told The Hollywood Reporter before the evening. “It’s all going to be topical. It’s all going to be justified.”

Actress and Her Two Sons Dead Bodies Mysteriously Found

The bodies of British actress Sian Blake and her two sons, 8-year-old Zachary and 4-year-old Amon, were found dead in the garden in the actress’ home, according to British detectives.

A British police officer said they all died from head and neck injuries, and that “significant attempts had been made to conceal the bodies.” The family had been missing since December 16th. The case is currently being treated as a murder investigation.

Police are searching for Blake’s boyfriend and the father of her two sons, 48-year-old Arthur Simpson-Kent. In fact, Simpson-Kent had also been missing since December 16th, but has been found in Ghana after leaving the U.K, the BBC News reports.

“We continue to appeal for any information that could help us trace Sian’s partner, Arthur Simpson-Kent,” Detective Superintendent Paul Monk from the Homicide and Major Crime Command said in a statement. “If anyone has any information about where he is or his movements since December 16, then please get in touch with us.”

Blake was an extremely popular actress who played on the British soap opera EastEnders in the 1990s. She also had major roles in shows such as Doctors, The Bill and Skins. She was only 43 years old.

Since the discovery of the three bodies on Tuesday, fans have been leaving flowers and teddy bears outside Blake’s home.
