Scott Wilson of The Walking Dead, 1942-2018

by on Oct.07, 2018, under Obituaries

I woke up this morning to this sad news: actor Scott Wilson, who played Hershel Greene, the father and calming voice in the group in The Walking Dead for a few seasons, passed away last night at the age of 76.

Wilson played many other roles over the course of 50 years, most recently in the series Damien and The OA. The role I remember him most aside from The Walking Dead was a Pa, the patriarch of the Angel family, scavengers and cannibals in the Cursed Earth in 1995’s Judge Dredd.

He was at a convention in Rhode Island a few years back. I didn’t get to meet him because his line was so long, the convention staff had no idea how to handle it, as it was longer than most of their headlining guests, but he greeted everyone with a smile and will remembered as a very kind and friendly person.
