Days Gone Bye (The Walking Dead)
Robert Kirkman, the creator of the eponymous series of comic books, considered the idea of creating a television show based on the comic series, but did not move forward. Frank Darabont expressed interest in developing the series for television. In January 2010, AMC formally announced that it had ordered a pilot for a possible series adapted from "The Walking Dead" comic book. In the announcement, the executives stated that Darabont would serve as writer, director, and an executive producer alongside Gale Anne Hurd.
Chandler Riggs
At age 10, Riggs was cast in his biggest role to date: Carl Grimes in "The Walking Dead", an AMC horror drama television series. Grimes, his family and friends fight to survive in a violent apocalyptic world populated with zombies and the few surviving humans, some of whom are even more diabolical and dangerous than the zombies themselves. The series is the highest rated in cable television history and has smashed all previous ratings records. 
Riggs had previously worked with the show's executive producer Gale Anne Hurd on "The Wronged Man".
