Nerdist Podcast: Andrew Lincoln

It’s more goodness from The Walking Dead for your ears! Andrew Lincoln sits down with Chris to talk about all the different sides of his character Rick Grimes in season 2, the arc of the storyline in the show and, of course, killing zombies!

WARNING! There are spoilers in this episode up through the end of season 2, but nothing about season 3!

  8. I wish I was a little bit taller/I wish I was a baller/ I wish I had a girl that looked good, I would call her/ I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a 64 Impalla

  11. Dang, so that’s where my mint conditioned Douche-action Sam went? who took it out of the packaging, totally lost it’s value now. T_T

  13. Goddammit! Chris! Stop making me wet my pants!

    ohh. Also, I wish for a… Jaguar. :P Sorry Chris.

  15. I wish for a Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back type montage where Hardwick visits the houses of all the trolls that give him shit on the Internet, and he kicks the shit out of them.

  18. I wish I had $1M so I could travel and also get the CUNT Office together just once for a nice dinner party.

    I wish cookies had no calories.

    I wish Hubby had a different job so he would be off today to show off his “TARDIS repairman” costume at the sci-fi Halloween party instead of working a double to cover for a sick dispatcher.

    Crap.

  19. Chris; Have you tried the new Tapout xt workout ? I have been doing it a lot lately and it is a fun workout to try.I so want to go to the run for your lives 5k run because it looks like so much marvellous terror and fun at the same time;there probablly is a German word for that.

  20. OK- Andrew Lincoln should be required by contract to NOT speak in his native accent while doing the walking dead.

    I am not going to be able to see him as Rick -ever again.

    It’s like if Worf started speaking like he sucked a balloon full of helium.

  21. @christopher – “…it looks like so much marvelous terror and fun at the same time;there probably is a German word for that.”

    Paging Matt Grandis…Matt Grandis to the white courtesy phone…

  22. Sorry, I misread and I thought you were interviewing Abraham Lincoln. Andrew Lincoln is still a good get, but I was really hoping you invented a time machine.

  23. The TV show is inferior to the comic book in my humble opinion, they just modified too much of the character relations I love and for some reason got rid of one of the best characters (Tyresse) but I’m happy a show like this exist just for the simple fact that we can get more show in these kinds of themes. Anyways great job as always Nerdist.

  25. Tyresse may still be on the show later on(fingers crossed). I really like that they kept Shane in the TV show much longer than the comic. They can’t follow the comic word for word I don’t think some of the things Kirkman did would work on tv.

    This is going to sound silly but I really nerded out over the guns they’re using in this season. I saw an M4 carbine with aimpoint sight, a folding stock AK-47 and they had homemade suppressors on 2 of the pistols. Somebody working for the show might be a gunnerd.

  27. @Filthy: that’d probably be John Sanders, the prop guy. He let me fire that automatic gun doohickey (I don’t know guns), and he’s been a lifelong gun guy/instructor.

  30. Anyone else think that maybe Andrew Lincoln should play a part in the new Justice League movie?

    What DC Comics character do you think Andrew Lincoln could play?

    I was just thinking about those questions near the end of the podcast. I thought maybe Batman?

  32. I wish… more Chloe hijinks! More adorable Hardwick sassing!

    Speaking of which, Nerdist stuff like Cosplay at ECCC next year? Horning in on panel hosting because the media guest are super awesome?

    Ok, back to listening to the episode. :)

  33. @Big C: unless you were talking about the marvel vs. DC crossover from a few years back methinks reed richards is not in the universe you are thinking of. I think Andrew could bring some real gravitas to barry allen as the flash. If they got the license away from fox and let marvel make an FF movie then yeah he would be a bomb reed richards.

  34. @datgai: ah yes! I just wanted a good FF movie. Anyhow, I take back my suggestion and submit Spiderman (kidding).

    Andrew has that comics hero jawline, so he could pretty much play most of the characters. Hawkman? Aquaman (with severely dyed hair)?

  35. Great interview! The walking dead game is also really well done too. I have been playing it while I have been sick for the past couple of days and it it such a good adventure/roleplaying game.

  36. May want to add that there are also huge comic book spoilers as well. Not that it ruined anything for me, just a heads up to anyone who hasn’t read the comics.

  37. I wish for lots of free pizza. And a girlfriend who likes heavy music and The Walking Dead. And a new terrier. And for the Nerdist podcast to do another show in Iowa City. And a giant Cadbury egg.

  38. I wish Patty’s wish would come true. And that I could get one more wish than Dr. Quemmento. Just because.

  39. I wish that they come out with a family friendly version of the show since gore makes me squeamish :)

  40. I wish I had commented earlier in this thread…

    Oh well, it was a great sit-down chat. I got the feeling that I’d like to try acting across from Andrew because he just seems like he’d be such a great scene partner. This definitely brought up my actor feelings from college that I don’t really get that much anymore.

  41. Wow, Chris Hardwick is particularly vocal in this comment thread. I’ve never seen him respond so much in just 1 episode.

    Also, props for @Gary. Abraham Lincoln would be my first choice if I had a time machine. I would’ve gone with Einstein, but I don’t speak German

  43. Great episode! I wish it was four hours long so the work day would go faster.

    I loved it when Andrew started getting really passionate about defending his character’s actions. I don’t know that I buy his arguement fully, but I think it shows the right level of being in his character’s head that he can fight that hard for him. I’ve seen interviews with Jon where he fights just as passionately for Shane’s perspective. I think that’s got to be part of what makes this show so great.

  44. Awesome show. Awesome interview. Loving every second of the new season. I haven’t attempted to watch with the dual-screen live simulcast thingie, though. Does that actually ENHANCE the viewing experience? It seems like it would be awfully distracting to me.

  46. At some point, everyone who has anything to do with Walking Dead will have a podcast episode :p

    Good episode, again, much better than any actual Walking Dead episode.

  47. What a great new-ish episode. Just listened and loved it. Loving the new season of Walking Dead, too, of course.

    Keep up, Chris. If you ever think you and the fellas could fill a room in Salt Lake City, I promise to do my level best to bring at least five friends.

  48. I could get turned on hearing this voice read the back of a Cinnamon Toast Crunch box. Because of this reason I only vaguely recall the content. Walking Dead is the best. I liked hearing CH’s GF in the beginning, sounds like a swell broad!

  49. Love listening to Andrew Lincoln on the Nerdist podcast.

    Please though…please book Norman Reedus for a Nerdist conversation. Please!

    Thank you!
