Het derde seizoen van The Walking Dead TV serie doet het zeer goed, en eerlijk gezegd is actie gehalte nu een stuk hoger. Iets wat we niet van de acteer prestaties kunnen zeggen. Any way, de Amerikaanse website Fearnet.com had een interview met Danai Gurira die we allemaal beter kennen van haar rol als Michonne.


To prepare for the role of Michonne, you delved into the comic books. What was your initial impression of who she was?

Well, it was obvious Michonne was very much her own woman and self-motivated and a very strong person. She had a sense of herself that would not allow anything around her to dictate her actions. She had a very independent soul and spirit. Michonne was driven by what felt right and good to her. She had a "rightness" to her and she was practical and strong. Those are the things that really stood out from the comic book.

One big announcement recently is that the character Tyreese will be joining the show. As a fan of the comic book, what are your feelings on that development and how it might impact Michonne?

It's interesting doing a TV show that was a book. Everyone is like, "It has to happen like in the book." It's great that Tyreese is joining. I was on Broadway with Chad Coleman, so I know him quite well. I think he's so perfect for the part. When I heard he got it, I was amazed, but I wasn't surprised. From what I've seen on the page, he's a perfect fit for the character. I think there's a very interesting dynamic between them, but of course, everything, everything, gets shaken up. Nothing is exactly as it should be. Michonne is in the becoming. How, where and who is a big part of that becoming, I cannot say.
