10 Actors Pissed Off By Their TV Character Deaths
8. Vincent Ward (Oscar) - The Walking Dead
Topping a lot of lists for most squandered characters on The Walking Dead is Oscar (Vincent Ward), a prisoner who survived the initial outbreak and quickly went on to become a fan favourite.
Sadly Oscar only got to stick around for seven episodes of the third season, ultimately being mortally wounded during the Woodbury infiltration, forcing Maggie (Lauren Cohan) to shoot him in the head to stop him from re-animating.
Fans weren't the only ones miffed, though. Ward said of his departure in a recent interview:
"I didn't even know I was getting killed. I was pissed. And the reason I was pissed was because nobody told me. I was in makeup and I saw a script sitting there, I picked up the script, and the first thing you do is you look for your name. I got all the way to the end, and it said, 'Oscar dies.' I was like, 'What?!' I grabbed the script and I just threw it down."
To their defense, when you sign your contract, they kind of tell you how many episodes you're gonna do. But in my mind, I'm like, 'Okay, they've got me hanging around with the main people now, I might be around a little longer.' No. It didn't happen."
However, he also appears to have accepted what happened:
"I hold no grudges. I had a great time... I was a little down afterwards, because I thought I did enough to stay around a little longer."
