The Walking Dead: Steven Ogg on Negan/Simon Fight, Stunt Work & More

With fans of the TWD universe learning about the franchise's future when Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead, and The Walking Dead: World Beyond invade our screens on Friday, July 24, as part of this year's Comic-Con@Home, there's no better time than now to take a look back at the long-running series' past. In Skybound's recent episode of the Talk Dead to Me podcast, guest Steven Ogg (TNT's Snowpiercer) was on hand to discuss season 8, episode 15 episode "Worth"- his final turn as Saviors "lieutenant" Simon.

In the following clip, Ogg breaks down how the fight between Simon and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan evolved in a way that spoke more to their respective characters, how sometimes stunt teams can set unrealistic expectations of actors (funny highlight), and dealing with what comes with shooting your last episode:

Season six of Fear the Walking Dead explores what has become of the unlikely family once united by a mission to help those in need. After being torn apart by Virginia (Colby Minifie) and her Pioneers, the group is now dispersed across her far-reaching settlements. Morgan's (Lennie James) last message at the end of season five implored the group to "Live" and this season we'll see what that means to each of them. Some will find the stability and opportunity within Virginia's communities to be intriguing, some will sink into darkness, while others will fight back against what has been forced upon them. Life behind Virginia's walls will test each and every one of them in different ways, forcing them to define who they are in this new world.

Fear the Walking Dead will present a panel to promote the upcoming sixth season, premiering later this year. Moderated by Hardwick, the panel will include Gimple, Showrunners and Executive Producers Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg and cast members Lennie James, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, Karen David, Jenna Elfman, and Rubén Blades.
