Chandler Riggs' Acting is Awful.

[DrHerbs]

I agree, I felt he was acting age appropriate to a degree. That being said, does that sort of acting translate well to most viewers, probably not. Comic Carl always came off as a toughened baddass child forced into early adulthood. Therefore, he never acted age appropriate but was rather a little big tough man by the time Negan rolled around. They toned down Carl's baddassery for the show probably because they didn't want him (a teenage boy) continually killing (men, children what have you). I am sure they did this for simple political reasons/AMC public interests...

I do think that he will be truly tested in the upcoming episodes. I am not going to judge his acting until I see more range from him especially if he is going to continue to interact with the mighty JDM/Negan. I just hope we start to see a little bit of Carl unhinged. I feel like he has been continually held back since like season 3 probably...

He's not great but he's not the worst the show's ever had, Patricia was far worse when she was on the show.

But because he's not a great actor, I doubt the show will kill Rick off before the final season. The show just wouldn't work without Rick.

To me the hair is taking on a life of its own. It is supposed to be a bit of a security blanket. The kid lost an eye and hasn't really dealt with that. He already felt like a monster and now without the the patch and hair he probably thinks he looks like one. I'm reading a lot into it, but I see why the hair is the way it is. Chandler is doing a decent job playing the pissy teen he is supposed to be. I hope he does a good job with more Sanctuary material.

YESS agreed he's awful, he's really not a good actor, it's like it's got it worse as he's aged cause the first couple of season he was alright. And I think this is my 3rd post in a row complaining about his hair but ffs get it cut, it's distracting and I can't take him seriously.

I don't think his acting is that bad. He's still young, he has plenty of time to improve his acting. I'm more bothered by older actors being completely talentless, ruining scenes and being a total waste of screen time.

Stop making excuses.

I stumbled upon 'Mercy' on Netflix starring him. Watched it JUST to see if his acting chops were any different in another genre, aaaaand, not so much. I do think he has his moments from time to time. But you'd think that working constantly with the caliber of actors he's given the opportunity to might rub off a little onto him by now? So, going to have to agree - he's not a great actor. But damn, he's one lucky kid for having that job! I'd take the grief about my acting to work with the others lol!

The only good scene he ever had was when he threatened Ron with a gun.

He was a cute little kid at first so it was fine if he wasn't the greatest actor. Now he's a teen and needs to invest in some good acting lessons and stop sliding by on the fact he's in this show, or he'll start heading towards EK awfulness.
And Someone. Please. Grab him and cut off that Farrah Fawcett 'do. I'm surprised that savior wasn't going after Carl instead of Enid. Other guys have haircuts, knock that crap off.
