20 things you didn’t know about the Walking Dead (With Pictures)

6. The Walker Extras Eat Separately From The Living Actors

Not sure about you, but sharing a meal next to an actor covered in zombie makeup would cause you to lose your appetite pretty fast, especially if one of them decided to take one of the on-set prop guts to the lunchroom for a good laugh.

This isn’t particularly the reason why the walker extras and actors eat separately, but it would make for a funny story. The producers believe in crafting an authentic divide between the living and the dead on the show, and to support this they purposely segregate them on lunch breaks.
