In the original script, they find a head and the head is still alive, he said.
Its the head that doctors working on with the electrodes.
When they started cutting the script down, George had said, Well, that guys got to stay.
So, Savini said, Why doesnt Greg do that?
So, they said, Oh, were going to give you a character.
Im not a terrible actor.
Im an okay actor.
But actually, Im aterribleactor but…they wrote a part for me.
So, for like three hours, I was smoking cigarettes with no filter.
I was fking green.
Like, I was going to vomit everywhere.
And then they break for lunch…And I couldnt stand up, I was so dizzy.
And George walked over, and looked at me, and said, Are you alright?
Im like, I cant stand up.
So that was how I got a part!
You know, we loved the idea of George coming onboard, he said.
Frank Darabont and I talked about it after the end of season 1.
This was after wed only aired six episodes.
So, the show hadnt really even caught on.
I think he really was still intending on developing some other zombie stuff.
So, he was like, Yeah, thats okay.'
