Who plays Carl in The Walking Dead series on AMC?

The Walking Dead is currently in its eleventh season, which will also be the final. As we think back to the beginning and remember all the great characters and episodes, it is bittersweet to recall cast members we have lost. One fan-favorite character who fans feel was killed way too soon was Carl Grimes.

(L-R) Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal), Dale (Jeffrey DeMunn), Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies), Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), T-Dog (Robert ‘IronE’ Singleton), Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs), Andrea (Laurie Holden), Glenn (Steven Yeun), Sophia (Madison Lintz), Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), Carol (Melissa Suzanne McBride), Jacqui (Jeryl Prescott) and Dr. Edwin Jenner (Noah Emmerich) /

As one of the original children of the series, Carl held a special place in the fandom’s hearts. When he was shot in season two, fans were sure he would live; when he was shot again in season six, it was unsure what his fate would be. But, to see him unexpectedly bitten in season six and know there was saving him was too much for his fans.

Carl’s death episode was heartbreaking to watch and realize he would never carry out his comic story. In the comics, Carl lives until the end, happily married to Sophia and they had a daughter.
