'The Walking Dead' Season 4: Andrew Lincoln Reveals Rick Will Be in A 'Different' Place
With the debut of season four of "The Walking Dead" slated for October, Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick Grimes on the hit original series, stated that his leading character will be in a different state of mind as compared to the end of season three.
"Certainly after the death of Lori, I think that a lot was brought into question, certainly in that last episode," Lincoln said during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "And Andrea helped that sort of narrow his focus much more on his son, who is obviously in a very, very disturbed state toward the end of last season. And I think he has to take responsibility for that."
Season three of the hit AMC television series wrapped up in April, and the network renewed the show for a fourth season of 16 new episodes debuting in October.
