D-Will is going to be on the talk show Talking Dead tonight after the 2017 premiere of Walking Dead on AMC. I cracked up when I saw his name on the commercial.

Yup watching now!

He's a big zombie anything fan, in 2003 him and a few other players went and saw Dawn of the Dead at Paradiso, it was pretty cool hanging out with them.

Dang....didn't realize Chris Hardwick was from Memphis as well.

Deangelo and Hardwick really reppin' Memphis and the Tigers.

Good stuff

He's originally from Louisville, wasn't here for too long

Dad is Billy Hardwick, who owned All Star Lanes. Talked about it as well on the show.

Very cool. I watched it. They both have lots of personality.

Deangelo was really tripping on all the British actors.

Kind of amazes me also how they can dip in and out of dialects so easy.

Absolutely loved what Deangelo had to say about Memphis in an early segment - Chris mentioned that some of Deangelo's wedding photos were on top of the Peabody, and Deangelo said something to the effect of how special Memphis is and just what this city means to him personally. It was a great shout-out to the city.

Born in Louisville, but grew up in Memphis, right? I think he attended most of his school here.

D is a big bowler as well, so there's that connection too.

I recorded the show and haven't seen it yet.

I believe he spent most of his growing up years in Memphis and even alluded as to how he was from Memphis. His family moved to California either his junior or senior year of high school. He went to college at UCLA.

He must really love being in Pittsburgh. The original Dawn of the Dead movie was filmed nearby in Monroeville, PA.

Word on the street, D heading to Hollywood after football is over

Memphians talk up 'The Walking Dead'

watching it now; as earlier posters stated, they both gave great shout outs to Memphis in the early segment.

I played chess again Hardwick when he was a student at Auburndale in the 80s. Some friends of mine who went there still are in touch with him.

Was he good at chess? And how about you, are you good? I don't understand chess. Wish someone had taught me when I was younger or had the desire to teach myself.
