Written byTimes Magazine
The star and creator of The Walking Dead paid tribute to actor Moses Jay Moseley, who died at the age of 31.
Moseley played the armless and jawless Mike, the zombie pet in the hit TV post-apocalyptic horror show.
His co-star Jeremy Palko described the late actor as "a really sweet and wonderful human being."
The Walking Dead star Adi Miller said he was "deeply saddened to hear of the passing of this bright and kind soul."
Another star of the show, Melissa Cowan, wrote on Facebook that Mosley was "truly quirky and stylish" and "always kind, funny and [has] a smile that lights up any room."
The event's official Twitter account also paid tribute.
Moseley was born in South Carolina and settled in Georgia where he studied law. He once said that he had no intention of becoming an actor, but one day they turned to him and asked him if he wanted to act in a film.
The film turned out to be 2012's Joyful Noise, starring Quinn Latifah and Dolly Parton, in which she was crowned a clubgoer, leading to more auditions.
He then starred in The Hunger Games: Blazing, The Guardians of HBO, and the 2016 film Volumes of Blood: Horror Stories.
Talent agency Avery Sisters Entertainment said in a statement on Facebook: "Moses is a phenomenal actor, appearing in films like 'The Walking Dead', 'Queen of the South' and 'American Soul,' but other than that he is an amazing man. !
Agent Tabata Minchu of Incumbent Artists said in a statement: "Moses was a very talented man, with a bright light all around him.
