- Josh McDermitt as Eugene, a man with no plan
AMC’s The Walking Dead has offered a lot of scares and surprises in its five-year run. But one of the biggest shocks of all (spoiler alert) was when Eugene Porter admitted that he’d lied about being a scientist with a direct line to the Pentagon and a bead on a cure. Our band of heroes now runs low on everything, including hope.
“Right now, he’s looking for ways to insert himself back into the group and show that he has some value, even though he probably doesn’t believe it himself. But that’s going to be a struggle. I don’t think he really has a skill set to offer aside from his intelligence. And even then, he doesn’t know fully know how to use that yet. The group doesn’t have the luxury of time for someone to analyze the situation and then have a strategy session. Sometimes you just have to react.”
