The Walking Dead: Baby Judith Has Her Own Stunt Doll

During the Talking Dead after show for The Walking Dead, there is a segment where Chris Hardwick shares trivia about the show. Sometimes the trivia facts prove to be rather interesting, such as with a trivia fact about baby Judith last night.On social media, many viewers have noted how Judith often looks a little different from episode to episode. There is a reason for this. Judith has been played by five different sets of twin girls on the show. It’s actually quite common for twins to be used in TV and movie shoots involving child actors, because there are regulations involving how long a child actor can be on set. Twins can allow for more filming time.However, Judith isn’t always played by a twin girl, as sometimes a doll is used instead. With The Walking Dead in particular, there is a lot of stunt work that could prove dangerous for a child actor. In the case of Chandler Riggs, a 31 year old woman actually serves as his stunt double for the more intense scenes. And since there’s not going to be an adult human the size of baby Judith, The Walking Dead crew has to use a stunt doll for Judith’s more intense scenes.The Walking Dead airs on Sunday nights at 9 PM ET on AMC.
