'Walking Dead' Season 6 Cast News: Lennie James, Morgan, Talks about Character Transformation
Fans of 'The Walking Dead' had the pleasure of seeing the illusive character Morgan in the season five finale. This raised many questions about the character and his motives, and in a recent interview with EW, the actor, Lennie James, cleared some things up.
When asked if he'll continue to appear irregularly or become a series regular he answers:
"[Laughs] In all honesty, I don't exactly know. I know I'll be back around for at least one episode of season 6 and beyond that, as always, I am at the mercy of the show."
Beyond that James explained the different direction the character has taken in his most recent appearance:
"I can tell you that much like the transformation from the first pilot episode to 'Clear' where there was an incident in the sense that Morgan lost his wife and his son-and we saw the affect that had on him in 'Clear'-an incident has happened to Morgan again. He has come across someone who has kind of led him and redirected him to another path. And what we've met in the finale of season 5 and we may well witness is season 6 is the result of that incident. I hope that makes sense. I am desperately trying not to say things that A) I don't know about it, and B) What little I do know, I'm not allowed to say."
He ends with his excitement for the show to further explore his character:
"Yeah, hopefully I think it offers a lot of potential and inspiration to the writers' room, because there are so many different people that Morgan now has the opportunity to interact with outside of just Rick. There was the start of an interaction that went between Carl and Morgan, because Carl shot Morgan. And they had a moment as Rick and Carl and Michonne were leaving Crazytown-there was a moment between Carl and Morgan that could be explored. There are so many. There is a lot of opportunity, and hopefully the writers are excited by that."
