Interview: Neil Brown Jr. Talks “The Walking Dead” and “Battle: Los Angeles”

Dan Koelsch, January 28, 2011January 28, 2011

You may not know actor Neil Brown Jr. by name, but you probably recognize him from AMC’s new hit series The Walking Dead. In two episodes from the show’s first season, Brown plays Guillermo, the leader of a gang that turn out to just be a group protecting a nursing home from the zombie apocalypse. You’ll next see him in Battle: Los Angeles as Corporal Guerrero, part of a Marine platoon that is sent into Los Angeles to rescue civilians during an alien invasion. We talk to Brown about both projects, how his unique background fits into his recent roles, and the special meaning filming The Walking Dead had for him. Listen to the interview after the break.
