First off congratulations on the success of The Walking Dead,
and especially with your character of Daryl who was an original
creation and quickly became a fan favourite. How much input did you have
in the development of your character, if any?
Norman Reedus: Hey, thank you. I had quite a bit
actually, the writers on the show were kind enough to have me in the
writers room starting with the second season. They asked me questions,
“how does Daryl feel about this, and what do you think he really thinks
about Andrea or Glenn etc. .” I was given the opportunity to sort of
help plan out the storyline with him where we wanted him to go and so
forth. They allowed me to plant little seeds that eventually, hopefully
turn in to story lines or parts of story lines
What can you tell us in regards to Season 3 and what lies ahead for Daryl?
NR: Ha nothing … Well I can say we will at some
point see a family reunion in the mix. If that goes well or not we will
both see in the future. I’m sure some words will be exchanged, and
possibly some bullets and fists, maybe an arrow or two!
Looking back, how do you feel about The Boondock Saints? It has become a huge cult hit, did you think it would be back then and how does it make you feel now?
NR: I was very excited to get that part. I was just
starting out as an actor then and I know a lot of better known actors
were fighting for that role so I was happy to just get the job to be
honest. I had no idea it would become what it is today. It’s sort of
like the peoples’ movie, no press no pr no theaters, all word of mouth.
That’s a huge accomplishment for both us and the fans of the film.
Did a sequel feel bound to happen? And what was that experience like?
NR: It definitely seemed long overdue. I know Troy
really tried to address all the fan mail, about 10 years worth and make
everyone happy. I think he felt he owed it to the fans that kept that
franchise alive through out the years.
Aside from The Walking Dead, do you have any upcoming projects you can tell us about?
NR: I have a few. One is called Hello Herman,
it’s about school bullying and the consequences that come of that, very
Columbine like in a way. And another I’m really proud of called Sunlight Jr. with Naomi Watts and Matt Dillon. I’m kind of a dick in that one, those are always fun.
We at KillerFilm would like to thank you for your time, and once again congratulations and we wish you all the best.
NR: No thank you. I’m excited to see Australia, for the first time ever.
