I’ve read Steven Yeun’ comments ab his time as Glenn on The Walking Dead and I have had some time to sit with them. He makes some very valid points. Nothing ab his comments should be read as a knock on the show bc it isn’t but he’s aware of the industry he exists in and the underutilization of his character. I get a “give a person their roses while they can still smell them” vibe from his comments. Fans loved Glenn but he was rarely written with that same love in mind. Glenn was never as loved or appreciated as he is in death. Where #TWD missed the mark is not realizing that he didn’t need situations to validate his significance. Glenn should not have been a background type character and because of his undevelopment through some of the writing he was. What I see from Steven’ comments is as liked and loved Glenn was, he did not change the landscape of normalcy BUT he could have. I’m the first to say how much I love The Walking Dead but just like any show it has it flaws at times. Steven is brilliant and he shared his thoughts in a way that wasnt disrespectful but completely informative. 🙏✊

GQ Magazine: When you look back on your long tenure on The Walking Dead, what makes you proudest?

Steven Yeun: Honestly, the privilege that I had to play an Asian-American character that didn’t have to apologize at all for being Asian, or even acknowledge that he was Asian. Obviously, you’re going to address it. It’s real. It’s a thing. I am Asian, and Glenn is Asian. But I was very honored to be able to play somebody that showed multiple sides, and showed depth, and showed a way to relate to everyone. It was quite an honor, in that regard. This didn’t exist when I was a kid. I didn’t get to see Glenn. I didn’t get to see a fully formed Asian-American person on my television, where you could say, “That dude just belongs here.” Kids, growing up now, can see this show and see a face that they recognize. And go, “Oh my god. That’s my face too.”
