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

14. Walker Training

All of the actors on The Walking Dead take their jobs very seriously, and if one cast member isn’t pulling their weight, it brings down the entire show. That’s why the producers have employed zombie trainers to make sure the extras don’t miss specific cues.

It apparently isn’t as easy as it looks, and bad performances aren’t simply masked by makeup and post-production. A useful cue for most of the cast was to act as if you were exiting a bar at 2AM. Surprisingly effective.
