Waiting for the return of “The Walking Dead” is unbearable, but to help ease the pain, we have another look at Episode 3.09, “The Suicide King,” along with some comments from Tyreese himself, Chad Coleman.

The series returns on February 10th; and per CNN Coleman, best known around these parts for his previous role on “The Wire,” recently told reporters what it’s like being the new guy on the set of the hit series, which just happens to be filled with zombie extras.

“The zombies are so real, so it’s really no acting required; you just see the amazing work that’s being done … It’s just eerie,” he said.

As far as comparing Tyreese to Cutty, Coleman explained, “‘The Walking Dead’ is far more physical [than ‘The Wire’]. Even though I was training in the gym, I still find myself more winded than I was on ‘The Wire’… “I’m not saying I’m out of shape, don’t misread, but it’s a lot more physical.”
