'Walking Dead' Cast Pays Tribute to Late Stuntman at Comic-Con

Norman Reedus waves to the fans while stepping out for The Walking Dead panel held during 2017 Comic-Con on Friday afternoon (July 21) in San Diego, Calif.

Other cast members in attendance included Andrew Lincoln, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Melissa McBride, Danai Gurira, Lauren Cohan, Chandler Riggs, Lennie James, Seth Gilliam, and Khary Payton.

The trailer for season eight was unveiled during the panel and showrunner Scott M. Gimple also paid tribute to John Bernecker, the stuntman who died after an on-set accident earlier this month.

“We didn’t know if we should do this panel today. But we wanted to be here for you and do something for John,” he said (via THR). “John was someone who was beloved in the stunt community. He was living his dream, and he helped other people do the same.”
