As much as I love The Walking Dead tv show for other things.

I really love it right now for how much exposure it has given Norman Reedus.

Here’s this man that I’ve loved and respected practically forever, ever since Boondock Saints, who’s under rated indie movies I’ve fanboyed over for ages, finally getting the recognition he deserves. He’s always had a small, dedicated fanbase but ever since the introduction of Daryl Dixon in TWD his fame had EXPLODED. And so has the fandom.

And after loving him and admiring his talent for so long, watching his fanbase grow so slowly basically from word of mouth alone..

Mia and I talked about this last night and it’s just.. so wonderful to see him finally getting the widespread love and attention that he’s deserved for so long.

So thank you, Walking Dead, for creating tens of thousands of new Norman Reedus fans and showing the world just how beautiful and talented he is.
