While this was Gus' first appearance onThe Walking Dead, he’s had experience with the show’s zombie makeup in the past, according to Morgan.
“The last time we did any zombie makeup on him, he looked at his reflection in the mirror and passed out,” the star said during an April appearance onThe Late Late Show with James Corden. “Now, that was a few years ago so I’m hoping he doesn’t pass out this time around because the makeup’s gonna be extensive and cool.”
