Current Events > Walking Dead Star bought a HOUSE when they found out they were FIRED! SPOILERS!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

The death of Carl Grimes played by Chandler Riggs was a shock to the viewers AND to the actor as well as he had no idea he was getting written off from the show as he JUST bought a HOUSE in Georgia!!

The 18 y/o actor previously said that he was going to college and viewers speculated that he would leave the show so he can go to college full time..but the actor shot down those rumours and said that was not the case.

Chandler joined the show when he was 11 years old and was one of the last remaining original actors of the show which is now down to 3, Melissa McBride, Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus.

Chandler said he has one episode left which will be his farewell episode to the show and said he had a blast being on the show and said that his death is good for the storyline that Scott Gimple, the showrunner is taking the show.

He learned of his firing back in June when they were doing rehesarsals for the show and read the script. Scott asked to see him in private because it was a "big deal" and told him w hat was gonna happen. He needed a reason for Rick to finally seal the deal to kill Negan and the death of his own son would be the catalyst.

Although it was devastating for him and his family because the show had been such a huge part of his life and he just a bought a house for them in Georgia, he has no qualms about his death. He plans to move to LA to focus more on acting an dmusic and is excited to move on with his life for new opportunities...(he can finally cut his awful hair too)

He made the same mistake as Emily Kinney who played Beth as she sobbed on The Talking Dead when she found out she was fired from the show as well when her death was impending as she bought a CONDO..

Do you think it was cruel to fire a kid actor who just bought a house? let's see what people think

Chandler - Killed Off Walking Dead

I wish that show would get cancelled already

How much money was he making?

Not really cruel, if the kid was smart hes probably fine.
---

fired? i thought he wanted to leave, that's what the buzz a few months back was anyway.
weird.

edit nvm read the article. but if this article is true and they plan to kill negan thats pretty lame imo.
idk, this whole article reeks of bs. they're just cashing in on clicks.
---

He didn't get fired or move to LA. He's starting college.
---

Lol not fired...and if he barely got a house and not paid it off while the gravy train was going then that's on him. Those main crew of actors could of asked for seinfield money ffs.

NO NO NO

Who are you and what have you done with the real Full Throttle?!

You're half throttling now, or you are an impostor. Either way, I cannot accept this. This is a disgrace to the great Full Throttle tradition and is a true shame.

Unacceptable.

I don't know what his salary is so... no... I don't care.

I haven't even seen the latest episode yet. It sounds good his useless character's out of the way. Whether or not that helps at all remains to be seen.

Walking Dead has become such shit that I'll read spoilers lickety-split. If anything it's preparation.

I guess imprisoned Negan won't be befriending Carl like he does in the comics.

It is pretty dirty after that many years not to give him more notice
---

Lol "fired". Since when does someone who has been fired get a death scene instead of just some random explanation for their absence. What a load of shit

Seriously. The midseason finale was boring AF. I only watch it to see how it ends, and it is tougher and tougher to continue.
---

Why did Rick need a reason to kill Negan? He was already going to kill him. He even said like 50 times that he wants to be the one to kill him.

I'm going to laugh if he befriends the baby if she's still around. I haven't watched this shit since that publicity stunt at the end of S6 so I wouldn't know
