Hope you all are digging these exclusive cast mini-Q&As done just for The Walking Dead subreddit. (Thanks again to Ross Marquand and Alanna Masterson for doing them.) This week, we are in the presence of royalty! Khary Payton — who is killing it this season as King Ezekiel — joins us to answer a few quick questions about what is going down at the Kingdom. Thanks to Khary, and to all of you for reading. —Dalton from EW
DALTON ROSS: There is currently nothing I love more in the world than hearing Ezekiel snap “Jerry!” How would you describe the relationship between those two?
KHARY PAYTON: Ezekiel is like the coach and Jerry is the star player that has trouble focusing. Coach loves him, but he has to use that tough love at times. Ezekiel wants Jerry to serve the same purpose that Shiva does. He wants him to exude this intimidating presence when representing the Kingdom. But instead of scowling and growling, Jerry throws out that big happy smile and a silly pun. He's not an actor. He can't pretend to be surly. That's part of why we love him though.
DALTON: So does Zeke have a crush on Carol or what? And can I call him Zeke, or does the king not take kindly to that?
KHARY: Yeah, I think he's got a little crush on her, and no. No, you can't call him Zeke.
DALTON: Norman Reedus told me he’s jealous of your tiger. What about Daryl Dixon makes YOU jealous?
KHARY: The crossbow, the motorcycle and fact that he's been on this show 6 seasons longer than me!
