Glenn has become a vital member of the crew on The Walking Dead, and it seems like his role is growing more important with each episode. Being around all those zombies, you might think he’s developed a fear of a potential zombie apocalypse, but that’s not what scares Steven Yeun.
When Yeun talked to CNN earlier today about his character, Glenn, on The Walking Dead, he gave us a little insight into Glenn’s mind frame this season.
“He sees himself as, if not a leader, at least a provider and protector and someone to look to in times of trouble.”
We all know that Rick is the proclaimed leader of the group/Ricktatorship, but that doesn’t mean other people don’t play necessary roles within that group. For Glenn, taking care of Maggie and making sure she’s safe is what drives his survival.
“I think she’s the only thing that keeps him from going off on his own. I don’t think he completely trusts the group.”
If Maggie ever wanted to break from the group, we definitely think Glenn would leave with her. Since her father, Herschel, is still hanging around though, we don’t see her wanting to leave anytime soon. Especially not after what happened to him in the season 3 premiere.
When asked about the gruesomeness of this season, Yeun said you can expect much more horrifying material.
“This season is literally no holds barred; it’s gas pedal down. I’m excited for people to see what’s coming. It’s just crazy. The well was an amazing thing. It was terrifying and fun. There’s definitely stuff this season that tops that by far.”
Zombies – you can deal with that. You can punch or shoot them. With ghosts, you’re going to be possessed, or something’s going to be thrown at you. You can’t do anything about that. No, thank you! I’m not much of a horror fan. When it comes to ghost stuff and demon stuff, I can’t watch that. I’ve heard too many crazy stories about that stuff, so I don’t mess around that. Especially when you’re staying in a haunted hotel.
We agree with you there, Steven, but some of those walkers really creep us out, too.
