“Oh, my God! I should have just put it in my pocket,” Elizabeth Ludlow exclaims, chuckling after recalling the story of the sandwich Norman Reedus unexpectedly gifted her. That kind of anecdote is just one of many instances of on set shenanigans on cable’s biggest show, but she couldn’t have imagined anything like this in her wildest dreams. In fact, had things gone according to plan, her face would have been the one you’d notice on CNN as you rushed through concourse A, trying not to miss that connecting flight. Instead, you’re watching her as Arat on “The Walking Dead,” waiting for her stoic and shrewd character to do something to scare the holy hell out of you.
“I thought that I wanted to be on CNN and do the whole news anchor thing, but then as I got deeper into my career in college, something in me just kinda changed. It just wasn’t fun for me anymore.“ A native of Savannah, Georgia, Elizabeth’s one great love through childhood and adolescence was playing soccer, but after deciding to attend Georgia State University, she took the opportunity to change focus and experiment with a long held, but little nurtured pastime: acting. “I’ve always been interested in it, since I was a little kid,” she admits. “I just never really had the time to commit. I actually moved to Atlanta specifically to try and get involved in the acting business.”
People are watching [The Walking Dead]! There’s something about it that’s working and the core of that is the actors. I think the work speaks for itself.
