Of course many of the male stars, including Andrew Lincoln, 42, Norman Reedus, 46, Chandler Riggs, 16, and Steven Yeun, 31, among many others were also on hand, and most opted for simple, classic tuxedo attire, but Michael Cudlitz had different ideas.

'The dynamic has changed. In Season 1, it was ‘Here’s some clay, mold it into something.’ Season 2, it’s ‘Okay, here’s the mold—we’re all sharing ideas on how big the hands should be.’ And then Season 3: ‘He may or may not have long or short hair,’ and a bunch of people are making that decision.'

He added that the show is so deep, he wishes it would never end, 'I would play this role until I’m 80' he responded, 'I really would. And I could.' 

The Walking Dead is about to enter it's 6th season of following the exploits of a band of survivors fighting off waves of the undead, and still manages to captivate millions of viewers.
