"30 Rock's" Grizz Campaigns for Zombie Role on "The Walking Dead"
3/7/2013

Grizz Chapman no longer has to chase Tracy Jordan around on "30 Rock", but the soft-spoken big man has hardly taken it easy since the NBC comedy wrapped this winter.
Appearing at the premiere of his one-time-boss Tina Fey's new film Admission on Tuesday, Chapman told The Hollywood Reporter gave a rundown of his recent activity -- his web series, a pilot and two films -- as well as his remaining to-do list.
"I'm on a never-ending quest to get back on a TV series, and I want to get on 'The Walking Dead'," Chapman said.
He even has some casting suggestions to help producers of the hit apocalyptic AMC drama ease him into the series' fourth season.
"I'm at this point now where, I have three things," he pitched. "I could either be on the Governor's team, I could be on Rick's team, or I could be a seven foot zombie who never dies. We could do it this season."
Thus far, he hasn't had any contact with the show's creative team, but did recently have a conversation with one of "The Walking Dead's" stars.
"I saw Steven Yuen at 'SNL' when Kevin Hart was hosting, and we talked about it a little bit," Chapman revealed.
"I'm fighting to get on. I want to be a regular. The seven foot zombie keeps coming back."
