Elsewhere, Reedus continues to wreakzombie havoc as Daryl Dixon on The Walking Dead, which began its sixth seasonat the beginning of October. Ahead of Season Four, Reedus toldRolling Stone why he chose to live outside Atlanta, where the show shoots, instead of in the city proper.
I like Atlanta, but theres a mall and a Chick-fil-A, Reedus said. What do I need to go up there if I live in Manhattan? Also, I ride a motorcycle to the set a lot, and just the riding in the South here is just magic. I dont want to zigzag through traffic in Atlanta. Id rather be out here on the country roads, driving home.
