Ep541 - Lauren Cohan, Actress ‘The Walking Dead - Dead City’ & ‘The Vampire Diaries’

18 Jun 2024

Description

You know her best as Maggie Greene (later Maggie Rhee) on The Walking Dead, but additional credits include Chuck, The Vampire Diaries, Archer, The Boy, The Mindy Project, Mile 22, and Whiskey Cavalier. She described the acting bug as follows: “I have this muscle memory of being on stage and losing all sense of space and time. It was like swimming. Once you taste it, it’s so intoxicating to disappear and be present at the same time.” The original The Walking Dead ended in 2022 and branched out into three different shows and actually the next three episodes we’ll be chatting with different creatives from each, so stay tuned for interviews with David Zabel, creator of Daryl Dixon spinoff, and Danai Gurira (Michonne), co-creator and star of The Ones Who Live, the Rick and Michonne spinoff. In The Walking Dead - Dead City, we follow Maggie and Negan into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan. “The city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world.” In this interview, she talks about performances feeling “found and private” simultaneously, finding just enough success to keep you going, and how she’s kept high energy in the horror genre for over a decade in the Dead universe.
