Negan had to regress a little.

Negan 2.0 doesnt do well on his own and needs to be surrounded by people, the actor said.

But I love the original and miss him.

The cast had to get real physical in the show.

They found themselves doing their own stunts most times.

Cohan has several grand fight scenes to contend with and said that experience made her performance more authentic.

I think thats part of the fabric of this show where things get physical, visceral, bloody.

Ivanek has played many unsavory characters during his career and understands what it takes to make a good villain.

He often finds the humanity within these characters and manages to translate that into a performance.

Croat is like Negan in hes thinking about the safety and protection of his people.

Cant blame him for that.

I think thatll be the fun of seeing what you know makes him tick.

It has to be both different and familiar, the producer said.

Were in this amazing position to stand on the shoulders of this monumental television series.
