Chandler Riggs

The star of American actor Chandler Riggs erupted after the release of the zombie apocalypse "The Walking Dead." The role of Carl Grimes brought the young man world fame, which fellow peers Chandler can only dream of.

Grimes - the hero of the meme "Carl!", became an idol of teenagers, as evidenced by the actor's social media accounts. The number of followers of Chandler Riggs on Instagram exceeded 3 million, and the details of the biography and personal life of the young man are closely watched by fans in all corners of Russia, Europe and America, where the rating series is broadcast.

Chandler Riggs was born in Georgia in the summer of 1999. The "The Walking Dead" star's childhood was spent in Atlanta. The boy appeared in a creative family: Chandler's parents - Gina Ann and William Riggs - professional actors. My mother studied the basics of dramatic art at the University of Georgia. She made her debut on the stage, later appeared on TV screens in the secondary roles of soap operas, but the name of the actress remained for fans of film art unfamiliar.

Today, Gina Ann is the prima of the Atlanta Theatre. Chandler Riggs has repeatedly invited fans to attend his mother's performances. He did not win in the acting field of laurel wreaths and the head of the family, but the musical career of Riggs Sr. is more successful: William with his rock collective "Gillhammer" gives concerts in Atlanta and Woodstock.

The firstborn of the couple of artists managed to surpass parents, embodying their ambitious dreams at a young age. The youngest son - Grayson - managed to avoid the captivity and magic of acting: the boy became interested in American football and so far does not express a desire to go to the stage.

As a child, Chandler Riggs got into the network of cinema thanks to the horror "Mglu". My mother supported her son and opened the world of theatre to him. The boy learned to dance tap, played drummers and soon appeared on the set of the series and on the theater stage of Atlanta's Fox Theater. Improving his skills, Chandler Riggs combined schooling with acting classes.

Chandler Riggs' cinematic biography began in 2006 when the boy was 7 years old. Riggs made his debut in an episode of the fantastic horror Jesus H. zombie. The film did not score high ratings and did not bring the young artist popularity, but the experience of behavior on the set of Chandler appeared.

In 2009, Chandler Riggs was entrusted with the role of a larger - Tom in the detective director Aaron Schneider "Bury Me Alive". The 10-year-old actor appeared on set with Oscar winners Robert Duval and Sissy Spacek. This is a dramatic tape about an eccentric gentleman who organized his own funeral in order to amuse others.

The following year, the 11-year-old actor starred in director Tom McLaughlin's drama Innocent. The main character of the project was played by the brilliant Julia Ormond, Chandler Riggs got the role of her son Ryan.

Working in two stellar projects with Hollywood masters went to Chandler Riggs for the benefit: a talented teenager with blue eyes and freckles noticed by the producers. The boy confidently held on to the cameras and demonstrated a virtuoso game.

In 2010, the parents took Chandler to the audition of a grand project, which took the master of Hollywood Frank Darabont. To star in the director, who gained fame with the films "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile", was considered for the actors the equivalent of a big win in the lottery. Those who wanted to get the role of the younger Carl Grimes in the post-apocalyptic drama "The Walking Dead" numbered in the hundreds, but after the casting approved Chandler Riggs.

Carl - the son of Sheriff Rick Grimes, grew up in front of the audience. Chandler's character grew up physically and in terms of skill, because the project "The Walking Dead" became a mega-popular, and the director filmed season after season 7 years. Chandler Riggs played Carl in eight seasons.

The series Darabent tells a fantastic story about a world covered by a mysterious epidemic. Infected die, but soon resurrected in the form of zombies. Carl is one of the few who managed to avoid infection and survive. He survived the death of his mother and friends and fights the zombie that flooded the planet.

Chandler Riggs admitted that the image of Carl was not easy, because in life the teenager is very different from the movie character. But watching the reincarnations of the stars of the project Andrew Lincoln, John Bernthal, Sarah Wayne Callis and Laurie Holden, the young actor felt more and more confident.

The filming schedule was so tight that the schoolboy had to switch to home schooling. Chandler Riggs has appeared in public several times with senior collaborators Norman Reedus and Lenny James. At press conferences, the artists satisfied the curiosity of fans with stories about the fate of the heroes of the film about zombies.

In the first part of the project Riggs met with a young colleague Caitlin Nacon, who played a heroine named Enid. Photos with the girl appeared on Instagram and Twitter of artists.

In the same year, Riggs received another prize- the Saturn Prize. In 2016, Chandler was awarded the second "Saturn" as the best young actor.

Work in the rating tape helped to become an artist. In 2014, he was offered the main roles in two feature films - the horror of director Sean Carter "Hacking" and the thriller "Mercy", shot by Peter Cornwell. The latest project, based on Stephen King's novel "The Babula," tells the story of an elderly woman with supernatural powers. Chandler Riggs was entrusted to play the grandson of an elderly lady.

The thriller "Hacking" premiered in 2017. This is a tape about the adventures of a family who was held hostage in their own home. Chandler Riggs appeared in the drama as John Mitchell. In the fall of 2017, the 8th season of horror "The Walking Dead" kicked off, where fans again saw Chandler Riggs as Carl. In 2017, the actor was nominated for the Saturn Award for the second time.

On the set of Mercy, Riggs met model and colleague Hana Hayes. After a year of socializing, the couple had an affair, closely watched by Chandler's fans. The relationship ended a year and a half later. The couple broke up, maintaining a friendly relationship.

In the summer of 2015, Chandler Riggs pleased fans with an appearance in public with a young beauty Brianna Mafis. In August, the actor posted a photo on his Instagram page of a photo with Brianna, whose accompanying commentary makes it clear that the pair have been dating for a year.

At the end of 2017, it was reported that Riggs had left the series. According to the script of his hero Carl was bitten by zombies, and the guy died. Chandler Riggs assures that the death of Carl Grimes - a plot move, not a desire to leave the tape.
