An aspiring actor has gone to his tumblr page to announce that he filmed scenes for AMC's The Walking Dead. He spills the beans that his scene involved the fan favorite Michonne.
Dupree R. Stansell a self proclaimed thespian, decided to reveal some major spoilers on his tumblr page, aabdupreerstansell.tumblr.com. After posting the information Dupree apparently realized his mistake and deleted the post, but not before it was scooped up by a few fans of AMC's The Walking Dead.
In his post he reveals that he will be playing one of the two pet zombies for the katana wielding character, Michonne. She is perhaps the coolest character in The Walking Dead series, a huge fan favorite. She has the best introduction, as the first time we see the character she is towing around two zombies on a chain with her trusted sword in hand. The zombies on her metal leash are her boyfriend and his best friend. She has kept herself safe by removing both of their arms, and lower jaws.
Dupree's post doesn't not say which pet walker he'll be playing, nor does it say who played the role of Michonne. But, he does reveal that her big appearance will happen in episode 13 of Season 2, which is the finale. So we won't get to truly get to know the character til season 3.
Here's Dupree's original post:
Hey guys I’m back again with some great news, well not just great but forever changing. I finally got a taste of what it’s like to be a real actor.
The other day I got caste to be an feature extra in the television show “The Walking Dead”. I didn’t know what my role is but I was excited when I found out that I was playing a Michonne Jaw-less Pet Walker. Now those of you who read the magazine know’s what that is. For those of you who don’t, just know it’s a dope charter to the new season three. I will be in episode 13, the season final of season 2. I’m not going to give away too much details, but know it was three hours of make up ($2,000 dollers worth) me shirtless and cold, looking super gory but cool. And a whole lot of taping, running and screaming. Ending in a lobster dinner :).
Being that it went so well. When I move back to Cali I’m getting head shots. Simply because my resume is somewhat compatible with others. So I’m going to freelance in LA signing open contracts and freelance in Atlanta doing what I’m doing now (Thank You Extra Casting Atlanta). My role can turn permanent, and I pray it does. Just if you really care send me prayers and blessings you guys, I dream of acting as a life aspiration. I’m so close, but still far away. - @xoRomeo

Sounds legit to me. Kirkman said she would be introduced in season 3, but I guess an introduction in the finale of the second season would be okay to and it would be a big bonus for readers of the comics. I'm just glad they actually decided to let her keep her "pet zombies", I thought for sure they wouldn't do that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing tht.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds bad ass!! Can't wait :)
ReplyDeleteI saw the title of this and my eyes shot open in awe and glee. Bring on Michonne!
ReplyDeleteI don't know Michonne but I keep on hearing about her... Should be cool to see a fan favourite on screen!
ReplyDeleteShe used to be a lawyer, uses a katana as weapon, is incredibly efficient and rather reticent. And as said in the article, she makes a pretty cool entrance with her arm- and jawless pet zombies.
ReplyDeleteThinking about it I suppose they got a rather unknown actress for it which I don't mind at all. But if they had got a big name for her, I think they'd want to capitalize on that.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw Aisha Tyler on the Talking Dead, I thought she'd make a really good Michonne.
ReplyDeleteNever saw her in a drama role to be honest, but it's an interesting thought. Nevertheless I think they went with a rather unknown actress (if the rumour is true after all).
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I bet it's safe to say that Mr. Stansell won't be a regular on Walking Dead. I'd venture that he's probably just ruined his fledgling career by showing that he cannot be trusted with industry information. And he likely breeched his contract.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the spoilers, Mr. Stansell. But, next time, REALLY think about what you post to your website...that has your name on it...
This is awesome scoopage as I recall the Michonne introduction as a very memorable one in the graphic novel. Dupree isn't helping himself career wise if he can't keep industry info mum, however... but I appreciate his spoiling
ReplyDeleteYeah, incredibly dumb move. You don't have to be Einstein to know you shouldn't be revealing something like that. Not to mention that it most probably was part of his contract not to talk about this.
ReplyDeleteI never read the comics, but Michonne sounds like a really interesting character so I'm excited to see her on the show.
ReplyDeletei would love to see her on the show she would be just as cool as Darly
