During an interview on Daily Blast Live to promote his role in the upcoming film Clarice, Michael Cudlitz talked about Abraham's death on The Walking Dead. For the actor and director, his character's death coupled with that of Glenn's was a case of too much, too soon.
"I thought that having myself and the Glenn character die in the same episode was too much and not necessary for the story that they were trying to tell," he said. "I think they could have spread that out and gotten more bang for their buck as it were. I think a lot of the fan base was really, really upset when that happened because the talk was 'Which one is it going to be? Which one is it going to be? Which ONE is it going to be?' And it wound up being two of the biggest fan-favorites."
Cudlitz did admit in the interview that he could see the moment as an exciting way to reset the show, but he still thought it was too much. Of course, while his character died, Cudlitz has continued working on The Walking Dead as a director since season 9. In addition, it is still possible that Abraham could make another appearance on the show. While talking to ComicBook.com, the actor revealed that there has been discussion of his character possibly appearing in a film that would pull from his origin in the comics.
