My worst moment: When Zeljko Ivanek alarmed Mary Tyler Moore — multiple times
With the latest spinoff, the bad guy on AMC’s “The Walking Dead: Dead City” is no longer Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s once-notorious Negan, but Zeljko Ivanek, who plays the Croat.
“I’ve taken over the franchise for the moment,” Ivanek joked. “The character’s backstory is folded into the Negan story. At one point I was a trusted disciple of his and fully in the inner circle. He used me for intelligence and as a torturer, and at some point, I just went too far even for him, so I was cast out into the wilderness. Years have gone by and now my character is in Manhattan and trying to establish a Negan-like fortress and community and trying to pull him back into this world.”
This is just the latest iconic show for Ivanek, who is known for everything from “Homicide: Life on role on “Damages,” in addition to his roles on Broadway.
