Amanda Jones Interview
Working on the last episode of TWD I had my own “fan girl” experience seeing Norman Reedus in his role!
- Hello Amanda Jones and thank you for your time for the Fans.
- Amanda , When was the time you know you want to be an actress? I have always loved entertaining people. My parents and their friends, my friends, relatives.. pretty much anyone who gave me the opportunity.
- You worked in one of my Favorite series. "Fear The Walking Dead" How did you get cast ?
I had worked on TWD so I knew how to “walk”. I sent in my submission video to casting and was told it was one of the favorites.
- You played an Walker. What is the first what you remember when you look back on set?
Day One of filming, August First in Savannah, GA. It was a bit chaotic, everyone was trying to get their bearings. It was so hot! My only experience in a Walker mask was from filming TWD in very cold weather. I knew this season would be a whole different ball game!
- Working with the Main Cast will be a dream of so many fans. How was your time with the Main Cast?
There was always great energy filming with the main cast. Ruben (“Daniel”) was so down to earth. We don’t approach the Main cast unless they come speak to us. There were several occasions where he came and made it a point to speak to us.
- Did you get "killed" in FTWD?
I was killed numerous times in FTWD
- With a role in TWD/FTWD comes a Big Fan Community, what are your first The Walking Dead fan experiences?
Working on the last episode of TWD I had my own “fan girl” experience seeing Norman Reedus in his role! I was so grateful to work on the night of the series wrap. It was such an emotional night seeing Greg Nicotero, Norman, Melissa and a few other cast members speak to production and everyone there. After 11 years, they had become a family.
- What will we see next from you? Any projects/movies/series?
I’ve worked on a handful of feature films, TV series and short films that will be available for viewing soon!!
- Is there any dream role or actor/actress you would loved to work in the future?
I would absolutely love to have a featured role in a comedy! The list of actors I’d like to work with is long, but Ayo Edebiri is one of the most talented young actors today and it would be a dream to work with her!
- Is there anything else you would like to let TWD Fans and your fans know?
If you ever get the opportunity to work on any project in TWD universe DO IT! The experiences I have had and the people I now call friends make the LONG hours of working in prosthetics and masks in swamps, rivers, woods and rundown warehouses totally worth it!
