Norman Reedus has become more involved in shaping The Walking Dead's Henry

Entertainment Weekly

"You know, I’ve been doing something with Henry the entire year," Reedus says of Matthew Lintz's character. "I’ve been changing dialogue a little bit here and there. I’ve been changing stage direction a little bit here and there, trying to give Henry responsibility. If there was a line that was like, 'You stay here. I’m going to go do this,' I would be like, 'I need you to watch my back. I need you to watch these people while I’m away.' I change things a little bit because I have a teenage son, so I know that when you give a teenager responsibility, he feels like he’s part of the group. If you empower people, you can trust them a little bit more."
