The Walking Dead's From Comic Book to TV and Who is Rick Grimes? Movie Clips

This is the beginning of a new week and the start of a new series of "The Walking Dead" clips. The first clip for this AMC produced series is entitled "From Comic Book to TV" and in this four minute clip, Frank Darabont talks of how he came in contact with "The Walking Dead" comic book in 2003. As well, series creator Robert Kirkman talks of the process of transferring a comic book story to television.

The second clip is entitled "Who is Rick Grimes?" and this is a three minute showing, which displays actor Andrew Lincoln front and center. Lincoln talks about the trials and tribulations his character goes through and how he adapted his portrayal of Grimes based on his understanding of this "flawed" (AMC) character. The most new footage for the series is found in this second clip. Enjoy both below, until more clips are made available.
