MTV : ‘The Walking Dead’ Cast On The Season Finale & Season Two!
Tuesday, December 7th, 2010The first season of “The Walking Dead” is officially over, and it’s pretty safe to say that AMC has a bona fide hit on their hands. The network’s adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s award-winning comic book series broke records almost every week an episode aired, and last night’s finale has everyone looking forward to the next season of zombie-filled drama.
To that end, Splash Page HQ was treated to a visit from “The Walking Dead” cast members Laurie Holden and Norman Reedus, who play survivors Andrea and Daryl Dixon, respectively. With both of their characters living to see another season, we chatted them up about last night’s finale and what we can expect from their characters when “The Walking Dead” returns… watch the video and read more
Watching the Walking Dead Finale with Its Manliest Survivor
Monday, December 6th, 2010The actor behind our favorite character on AMC’s breakout show swigs some SoCo, gets creative about zombie-killing, unleashes his inner Sean Penn, and previews Season Two. With squirrel. (And spoilers.)

America’s favorite zombie soap opera ended its first season with a literal bang last night as the survivors entered the CDC in search of answers, a hot meal, and some much needed hygiene. Given this explosive goodbye, we couldn’t think of anyone better with whom to share the touchingly bleak finale than The Walking Dead‘s own beloved Rage-aholic Redneck, Daryl Dixon. So, we called up the very gifted actor who plays Daryl, Norman Reedus, and asked him to walk us through the finale — and share memories of what it’s been like to go into work everyday and kill zombies and feast on squirrel. Read below as we bid our favorite new show a fond farewell until next October. In the meantime, we’ll be awaiting the DVD box set and embracing our new life philosophy of WWDD: What Would Daryl Do? … Read more
Exclusive Interview: Norman Reedus talks The Walking Dead…
Saturday, November 20th, 2010Actor Norman Reedus talks about his role in the hit series “The Walking Dead” by director Frank Darabont (The Mist, The Green Mile) starring Jon Bernthal (Date Night, Numb3rs), Jeffrey DeMunn (The Majestic, The Shawshank Redemption) and Laurie Holden (Silent Hill, The Shield). Here’s our exclusive interview.
SY: You have starred in numerous mainstream films since the ’90s, including ‘8MM,’ ‘Gossip,’ ‘Blade II’ and ‘American Gangster,’ but are most remembered for your lead role as Murphy MacManus in ‘The Boondock Saints’ and its sequel. What is it about this character that resonates with audiences?
NR: I think with Boondock Saints, it sort of became the people’s movie. It was put in a unique category where people spread the word. They passed it to friends and so on. It grew into this huge cult hit just by people liking it and wanting their friends to like it. I think I’m most proud of that. There wasn’t promotion. There wasn’t a release. And it still grew 70 feet tall. It’s an… READ MORE
Exclusive chat with Norman Reedus – Newest ‘Walking Dead’ Survivor
Saturday, November 13th, 2010We get a new, human character on this week’s The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. The younger brother of racist Merle (Michael Rooker), who we last saw trapped on a roof top, handcuffed to a pipe. Daryl is played by Norman Reedus, whose previous credits include The Boondock Saints and its sequel, and The Messengers 2. In our exclusive interview, we talk to Norman about playing a redneck douchebag, working with zombies, and what is on the horizon for the recently-announced second season of The Walking Dead.
Tell me about your character, Daryl Dixon.
He is one half of the bad-ass Dixons. If you grew up with Merle as your big brother, you probably … READ MORE
Movie Mike’s Interview with Norman Reedus about The Walking Dead
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010
Norman Reedus is known most for his role of Murphy MacManus in “The Boondock Saints” series. He is currently appearing in AMC’s new TV series “The Walking Dead”, playing the role of Daryl Dixon. The character as described by Norman is “a guy who is ready to break down and kill everyone at any moment”. Movie Mikes had the chance again to talk with Norman about his role in the show and how it differs from his other projects.
Mike Gencarelli: Tell us about your role of Daryl Dixon in “The Walking Dead”?
Norman Reedus: Daryl is an ex-con that lives alone with his brother. When the apocalypse happens, he fends for himself. He is a hunter. He hunts with a crossbow. He is quite the hot head. He is also efficient in his killing. He is a no-bullshit kind of a kind. My character comes in on the… READ MORE
“Real Dark, Real Heavy”: An Interview With Norman Reedus
Monday, July 5th, 2010Back in the Spring, Norman and I chatted about the Boondock Saints films for an article published over at Pulp Tone, with insights into the cult phenomenon from both Norman and Sean Patrick Flanery as well as their fans. Alas, not everything Norman had to say could make it into the article, so I asked him at the time if I could post the rest of our conversation on my blog. Having abandoned said blog for a while as I wrestled with my MA thesis, I’ve still been holding onto this interview and desperately wanting to share it. With the graaaand opening of Hopeful Monster, it was simply meant to be!
Talking to Norman was such a delight; he’s this completely, effortlessly engaging guy. Interviewing Sean before I talked to Norman had served as an interesting transition – Sean all charming and boisterous, Norman more laidback and soft-spoken. He’s got this coffee-and-cigarettes kind of voice that had me instantly at ease…and okay, a little weak in the knees. Besides being an incredibly talented actor, film maker, and artist, I found Norman at once inviting and opinionated in his remarks, with an obvious affection for his fans, appreciation for his opportunities, and a love and respect for his craft.
Read on for Norman’s thoughts on… READ MORE
