Moses Moseley Was Best Known For His Role on The Walking Dead
Moses Moseley appeared onThe Walking Deadin six episodes as Mike, one of two friends ofMichonne (Danai Gurira)that she had kept as “walker pets” after their deaths. Because Michonne had removed their arms and jaws, these zombies had grown docile, serving as camouflage as they accompanied the survivor. There have been countless walkers to come and go throughout the eleven seasons of the series, but every fan still very much remembers Michonne’s pet walkers. At the time, Moseley had also been featured on the cover of a 2012 issue of Entertainment Weekly.
“It was amazing,” Moses previously said of getting theWalking Deadgig in an interview withWe Are Indie Horror. “It was actually the fourth thing I ever did in my career. Just getting a chance to get on the show, I was blown away. At the time I didn’t know what the show was or anything about it. After I did my part and filmed with them, I actually went back and watched the previous seasons and I was instantly hooked. I think it’s still the best show on television. From the cast to the crew everybody is so professional. It was awesome and down to earth and they would really make you happy to be there.”
Along with appearing in the AMC zombie drama, Moseley had roles in various films likeJoyful Noise,Trouble with the Curve,The Internship,The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,Volumes of Blood: Horror Stories,Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies, andDoll Murder Spree.
