What if Max Records (Where the Wild Things Are, I Am not a Serial Killer) portrayed Carl Grimes in The Walking Dead instead of Chandler Riggs?
I do appreciate the character of Carl Grimes. I feel that they should have made him grittier at times, but he wasn't a bad character all the time. But I have to say that I found Chandler Riggs' performance underwhelming a lot of times. He even ADMITTED to being lazy with the role, and it showed. So while his character could have led the show, I don't know if Riggs would have been up to it, but at least there would have been the supporting cast.
But what if someone else had been picked to play him? Personally, I think it would have been cool if Max Records (Where the Wild Things Are, I Am not a Serial Killer) played him. Seeing his performances in both of those movies, he just eclipses Riggs. He could have easily played the little badass young Carl was in the beginning. I Am Not a Serial Killer showed he could have gone darker with the character, he can deliver a very intense performance.
What do you guys think? I don't hate Riggs' Carl, it's just an opinion.
How do you believe Max Records' Carl would have been?
Tell me about your thoughts.
