The Daily Bash have done a great interview with 10 year old Addy Miller who plays the youngest zombie in The Walking Dead…
Addy got her first role as an actor by playing a young Dakota Fanning on the film The Secret Life of Bees but she’s a bit of an old hat at playing zombies as this is not her first role playing a zombie- although she didn’t have the full make up or padding before!
Addy’s favourite actors as include Joey King, Anne Hathaway and Heather O’Rourke and her favourite movies are the animated Spirit and the new Alice in Wonderland. But luckily she’s also a fan of horror movies and even likes Poltergeist!
In the interview below Addy talks about her favourite moments from working on the show, stunt training and impressing Frank Darabont- not bad for a ten-year old!
Q: You’re only 10 years old so it looks like you’ll have a great career if everything works out, what kinds of movies do you want to make as you grow older? Do you want to keep doing horror films?
Addy: Well I don’t mind doing some horror, but I like dramas and also want to do a happy movie. I am also interested in some behind the scenes stuff, you know, a crew member.
Q: Greg Nicotero is one of the greatest makeup and effects artists of all time, did he do your makeup? What was it like seeing yourself all made up like that, from what we’ve seen it’ pretty horrific and realistic?
Addy: Greg Nicotero is the nicest guy! He designed my makeup. He was who did all my fittings. On the day of my scene, he and his crew worked on me. On set, Greg put on the blood and eye contacts on me. I had about 2 hours with the other guys and about 1 hour with Greg. Seeing my makeup when it was done actually made me a little sick to my stomach. I couldn’t look at myself, I thought I looked so scary. Everyone on set kept looking at me and saying how awesome I looked. Greg did a great job and it felt good.
Q: Since you’re fairly young, are you going to be watching The Walking Dead when it comes out this Halloween?
Addy: Of course - I have to watch myself on TV (laughing). I actually read the comic books…love them! I am waiting for volume 13 to come out now.
Q: What was your favorite memory from working on the show with the cast and crew?
Addy: The stunts for sure! I had so much fun. It was the first time I went through stunt training and got to do that on camera. I had pads everywhere on my body too, and the stunt teacher worked with me practicing on every break to make sure I would not get hurt. I also liked it when Frank Darabont jumped up and get excited and dance after my scenes. It really made me feel good. He was so funny. Working with Greg also was a great memory and he is the one person I miss most from being on set.
