So what would Gabriel have done with the other brother?
And why did he show death instead of mercy to a clearly wayward Mays?
SETH GILLIAM:[Laughs] Here I am.

Yes, thank you for that.
I didn’t think he was long for this world at all.
I thought way back in the day, three episodes and he’s gone.
What made you think that?
For some reason, I thought that it was kind of a bait-and-switch thing.
I thought it was going to be some of shock-shock thing.
Did you know how he died in the comics?
They were very excited to show it to me, about how graphic the death was.
How uncomfortable is the colored contact you have to wear for Gabriel’s infected eye?
I’ve gotten used to it.
It’s not uncomfortable at all, really.
It takes less than a minute to put it in.
Aside from the sticking to the eyeball every once in a while, it’s just cool.
I think it’s a great look.
It is a strong look.
Okay, let’s get into this episode that just aired.
I was pretty excited for it.
There hasn’t been any kind of Gabriel backstory thing.
So, I was really excited about it.
But it turned out to be a dream.
I wanted pretty basic generic things like, did he have friends?
Did he have lots of friends?
Did he have one friend?
Did he talk to himself?
Yes, there is.
I think there’s only so much that they can throw away to other people.
Well, you speak one way to the kids than you do the adults, you know?
We’ve got people dressing up as the dead.
They want to put our heads on sticks.
It’s going to get bad.
It’s going to get ugly.
You’re going to see people get blown up."
You’re not going to do that to the kids.
You’ve got to give them the bright side.
How many takes did you have to do of that?
The mud was pretty cold.
Though it was edible, it still tasted like dirt.
So, I didn’t really care to be in the mud too much too long.
Thankfully, I think we got it in the four takes that we did it.
I think we probably got it in the first take, but that’s life.
Where is this coming from?
How much of this is the whiskey talking and how much is it what he truly feels?
I think it’s kind of a combination of those things.
I think it’s a bit of a risky loose-lips into what’s going on with Father Gabriel.
He was at death’s door.
He was right at the precipice of going.
So, I think he’s carrying a lot of that kind of trauma.
Gabriel really didn’t hesitate much at all to pull that trigger there.
He’s not scared to die anymore, is he?
No, I don’t believe that he is.
So what isthatall about?
I think Gabriel made a decision pretty early on.
So, Gabriel made an executive decision.
Do you think it was the right one in this instance?
Do you think that Mays was unstable and that this was the right call?
I think for Gabriel it was.
I don’t think he had any hesitation about it.
I think yeah, it’s the right call.
He’s been wounded far beyond repair.
Well, let’s play my favorite game, which is ‘Walking DeadWhat If.’
He takes your gun and he kills himself.
So, what do you think Gabriel does if that guy doesnotkill himself?
What do you think his next action is?
I think Gabriel brings that guy back to Alexandria.
But I don’t think he saw that in Mays.
Finally, we saw in the episode that Gabriel’s pretty damn good at poker.
How areyourbluffing skills, Seth?
I think I’m a pretty good bluffer, man.
I think I’m a pretty good bluffer, though I’m a trash talker when I play games.
That really wouldn’t work well in poker, you know what I mean?
I would wind up giving something away thinking I was trash talking, something would slip.
Do you ever get in on those epic Backgammon games between Norman Reedus and Andrew Lincoln?
[Laughs] No, I stay away from those.
Those are high stakes.
Very tense, man.
