Beyond 'The Walking Dead,' Lauren Cohan is ready for change
NEW YORK (AP) — Even battling zombies day in and day out can get repetitive.
After eight seasons of fighting for her life on AMC's "The Walking Dead," Lauren Cohan knew she needed a change when she felt a little too comfortable with the job. That's why she's saying goodbye to the role, though producers are leaving the door open should she change her mind.
"Eight years is a really long time to be in those emotional depths and it's really fun for me because I never thought about drama as much when I started this career and I always kind of assumed I'd do like light fare," she told The Associated Press in a recent interview.
She has always fought against the idea of being too comfortable, in work and life overall.
