Jason Curtis+FollowNorman Reedus Spills on Daryl’s Origins 🧟♂️Norman Reedus just revealed that Daryl Dixon wasn’t even supposed to exist in The Walking Dead! He originally auditioned for Merle, but his performance was so good that the showrunner literally created Daryl just for him. Plus, Reedus pushed to make Daryl more complex than just a mini-Merle, fighting for his character’s depth. Some fans say Daryl’s journey is the best in the series—do you agree, or did the writers go too far making him the hero? #NormanReedus #TheWalkingDead #DarylDixon #Entertainment41Share
