Norman Reedus doesn't watch TV, so "The Walking Dead" star wasn't familiar with any of the characters his TV persona, Daryl Dixon, defeated in RedEye's Best TV Character Tournament over the past two weeks.
On Wednesday, the zombie-killing Daryl defeated Abed Nadir of NBC's "Community" to win the fourth tournament, and Reedus was pretty stoked to be the new champ.
"I just want to thank all the people who are voting and the people who are watching the show and helping it become such a big success. It's all because of them, the fans," he told me Wednesday from New York, adding humbly. "I would like to thank the cast and the writers and the producers of the show for giving me such interesting stuff to play with and interesting people to play with."

ReplyDeleteThanks! I can't believe an actor doesn't watch TV. That seems a little weird.
ReplyDeleteIt does. It's not exactly true though, because he watches "Portlandia."
ReplyDeletefrom what actors have said in interviews quite a few do not like to watch themselves.
ReplyDeleteDaryl <3
ReplyDeleteawesome
ReplyDeleteIf he's like some of the actors out there, they work incredibly long hours. Jensen and Jared watch what they can DVR and it's a only a few their wives got them hooked on. They work 14-16 hour days on Supernatural, so it's surprising that some television actors do not watch tv
ReplyDeleteThere are more of those people than you think. There are also some that just don't like to admit they watch TV.
