He then turned on Rick at Alexandria.
Gabriel has had a resurgence in the past season-and-a-half, becoming a core member of the group.
As a result, fans have started to warm to the character as well.
I like that runny feeling down my leg.
Clearly, Father Gabriel is getting a little face-time with Negan in the season 8 trailer.
What can you say about that?I think its an interesting pairing of characters.
Weve got the far extremes.
Plus, Father Gabriel is very much sizing up Negan.
And the truth of the matter is, Ricks groupdidattack first.
So Negan does kind of have a point defending his place, and his people, and such.
But it was a blast working with Jeffrey.
Hes a lot of fun to work with.
And I think its given him the purpose to live again.
There was a point where Gabriel felt that there was no purpose in him to living.
And he tried the suicide by walker, suicide by Sasha, and that didnt work.
Whereas I think he lost God for a while, and now hes hearing God again.
Hes probably feeling about two inches taller and 10 pounds of muscle heavier.
Its had such an impact on the audience.
And for a while, I felt the lines were kind of blurred because its so personal.
Which is kind of hard, because I think everybody wants to be loved.
I think actors particularly want to be loved.
I thought she did a fantastic job!
What you want is for people to move forward when you come onscreen.
You dont want them to get up and leave the room to go get a snack, you know?
I think if people are leaning forward to say, Father Gabriel, you this!
then all the better!
It means yeah, I am doing my job even if only me and my family can appreciate it.
But I get some great conversations out of it.
I could talk about acting all day long, so for me, its alright.
