The Walking Dead - Interview with Chandler Riggs

Most 12-year-olds only get to battle zombies in video games, but Chandler Riggs gets to fight them for a living.

Chandler, the son of William and Gina Ann Riggs of Towne Lake, plays Carl Grimes, who flees his small town with his mom, Lori, to escape the zombie apocalypse in the AMC show “The Walking Dead.”

“It’s like a video game in real life,” Chandler said.

His agent found the role and Chandler, who has been acting on stage since age 4, said he never thought he would land the part.

“We never thought we’d get this zombie TV show,” Chandler said. “But it’s been such an amazing ride.”
