Long-awaited by fans of The Walking Dead comic book, Michonne has made her debut this year on the uber-popular AMC TV series of the same name – portrayed by actress Danai Gurira (Treme).
I recently sat down with Gurira to discuss playing Michonne and her character’s notable characteristics – from her way with a sword to her two “pet” zombies.
IGN TV: For those of us who have read the comics, there was so much anticipation and excitement about your character. Was that exciting for you, or did it make it a little daunting?
Danai Gurira: It’s been all of it. It’s been very exciting and daunting all at the same time. But at the end of the day, it’s just making sure that you get a character’s story fully told and give her complexity and life. It’s different putting it on its feet than reading it in a book, so there’s obviously an adaptation process that these writers have been doing from the beginning. It’s also stepping into something very new. Hopefully everyone knows that.
