Daryl (Norman Reedus) thinks no one needs "automatic weapons at all"

[A.J. Holst]

How much money have these folks made off gratuitous violence using firearms and reducing respect (and the reality) of what firearms can actually do through the "magic" of Hollywood?

Throw in a little tna and we got a blockbuster!

If YOU are against me having firearms, stop cashing in on movie projects that glamorize and imply a gun is needed for your character to make it to the closing credits.

Wonder how many of these Hollywood types have armed security?

Hipower hit it dead on...These folks are entertainers in a profession that was viewed with the same disdain as the oldest profession. Money somehow has made these people respectable...

And ol' Darryl is on the cover of this weeks' Entertainment Weekly!

I'm surprised the rumors that his character is gay haven't been brought up yet in this discussion. That'll really get the thread off and running.  :rofl:

Whether they write it that way or not, it's more than a rumor that the writers have discussed it as a possibility and certainly sticks out that they have never had him coupling with any of the dames yet in all this time.

 

Variety seems to have the most reliable take I've read:

Since when has America ever been about "need"?

Wasn't there something between Darryl and Carol for a while?

They were obviously written to show "caring", but never consummated. :)

I would have sworn more was involved. Maybe just wishful thinking

Why get all upset when an actor makes a statement like that? Don’t give it any more mileage; his opinion means nothing.

I don't and agree an actor's opinion is worth nothing.  Unfortunately, people in this society believe that actors (and sports people) are some kind of gods.

Me, too. End of the world as we know it and she and I are hanging out fighting zombies? Yep. I'd hit it...

[A.J. Holst]

Gay zombies?

Maybe he shouldn't take any more royalties from the boonedock saints if that's the way he feels.

Who's upset?

I don't pay much attention to actors and their political views.  But on a positive note, here are many of Norman's (Dixon) Walker kills on TWD.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iStg0LHLK1I
