Who plays Carl in The Walking Dead series on AMC? – Undead Walking

The Walking Dead is currently in its eleventh season, which will also be the final. As we think back to the beginning and remember all the great characters and episodes, it is bittersweet to recall cast members we have lost. One fan-favorite character who fans feel was killed way too soon was Carl Grimes.

(L-R) Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal), Dale (Jeffrey DeMunn), Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies), Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), T-Dog (Robert IronE Singleton), Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs), Andrea (Laurie Holden), Glenn (Steven Yeun), Sophia (Madison Lintz), Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), Carol (Melissa Suzanne McBride), Jacqui (Jeryl Prescott) and Dr. Edwin Jenner (Noah Emmerich)

As one of the original children of the series, Carl held a special place in the fandoms hearts. When he was shot in season two, fans were sure he would live; when he was shot again in season six, it was unsure what his fate would be. But, to see him unexpectedly bitten in season six and know there was saving him was too much for his fans.

Carls death episode was heartbreaking to watch and realize he would never carry out his comic story. In the comics, Carl lives until the end, happily married to Sophia and they had a daughter.

Carl Grimes was played by child actor Chandler Riggs, who started this role when he was 10 years old and would play Carl until he was 19. He will always hold a special place in the hearts of The Walking Dead fandom as viewers watched him grow up.

Riggs was nine years old when he landed his first two major roles. He played Tom in the film Get Low and had a small part in The Wronged Man.

After he departed from TWD, he starred in the filmOnly with fellow TWD actors Joshua Mikel (Jared) and Jayson Warner Smith (Gavin). He would then have a role in the TV movie Inherit the Viper and the Netflix series A Million Little Things.

Riggs is also a DJ and has produced music under the stage name Eclipse.
