Chandler Riggs stopped by the r/thewalkingdead subreddit for an ask-me-anything session and naturally, there were plenty of fans eager to get the inside scoop on “The Walking Dead” from one of the stars of the show. On that note, one of the most popular questions in the thread came from u/7929, who asked Riggs what was his favorite thing about working on the series.
“To be honest, actually having a stable job has been one of the best parts,” Riggs answered frankly. “Most shows end so quickly that you constantly have to go from show to show, but with this it’s been nice not having to worry.” It’s easy to see where Riggs is coming from here, as being a central cast member on one of the most popular shows on television no doubt means that your job is relatively safe.
Unfortunately for Riggs, being the son of the central protagonist, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), didn’t provide quite as much job security as he maybe would have liked. Though Carl survives in the comics, the character succumbs to a walker bite in Season 8 of the show and he left the series from that point on, aside from a few cameo appearances. Still, to Riggs’ point, eight years at a steady acting job is definitely more career security than your average performer has in Hollywood, particularly at such a young age.
