Interview with Sam Witwer

Nerdist: Is there any chance of you showing up in L.A. Noir?  

Sam Witwer: There’s a very good chance. In terms of where, when, and what, who knows? Frank and I already talked about it. He wrote me a part I just can’t play because I’m doing Being Human. Having said that, our schedules don’t totally overlap. It is conceivable that I could go over there and play with those guys. Boy, I’ll tell you, man, I’ve seen it. I saw and screened it at his house. Jon Bernthal is amazing. Simon Pegg just kills it, especially with the American dialect. It’s really fun to see Simon as one of us. Everyone is really, really wonderful on that show. Milo, I think he’s never been better. It’s really, really fun to watch.

Jeffrey DeMunn talks The Walking Dead and L.A. Noir

FANGORIA: One element of the WALKING DEAD series not present in the comic was your escalating conflict with Shane, played by Jon Bernthal, as the second season went on.

Jeffrey DeMunn: Oh, that was great; I love working with Jon. He’s fun to act with; we’re wonderfully close, tight friends. We’re working again together, hopefully, on Frank’s next series, L.A. NOIR; we did the pilot together.

FANGORIA: What’s your part in that?

Jeffrey DeMunn: I play the head of a plainclothes detective division that has the responsibility to deal with organized crime as they try to move into Los Angeles.

FANGORIA: I imagine this show has a different kind of feeling from THE WALKING DEAD…

Jeffrey DeMunn: Oh, night and day. Yes, it’s more stylized. But we’ve only done the pilot, so we haven’t really found our feet yet.

FANGORIA: Well, we’re all hoping we get to see it go to series.

Jeffrey DeMunn: Me too! You make a call for me, OK?
