When he plays Negan on “The Walking Dead: Dead City,” Jeffery Dean Morgan has to deal with hordes of the undead wanting to take his life.
On Wednesday in Worcester, Morgan came across another horde — a horde of fans wanting his selfie.
“There’s a lot of Worcester!” Morgan shouted, taking picture after picture in rapid-fire succession.
The actor was in Worcester on Wednesday for filming of the third season of The Walking Dead spinoff “The Walking Dead: Dead City.” Production began on Monday, with the crew moving to a different street each day.
On Wednesday, the team filmed scenes on Mechanic and Norwich streets. The street was changed to resemble New York City in a post-apocalyptic world. Trash and leaves were scattered across the ground, buildings were covered in boards with graffiti and smoke swirled in the air. A zombie could be heard growling behind strips of yellow caution tape. With the dark grey sky, it looked as if doomsday had come to Worcester.
The mood among the crowd watching the production, however, was anything but gloomy.
Bystanders gathered on Norwich Street to catch a glimpse of Morgan, with some standing on their toes to take photos and videos with their phones.
As Morgan walked towards the crowd, cheers and applause erupted. One by one, phone by phone, Morgan took pictures with everyone, even with infants.
“He was very handsome,” said Rena Skloot. “I feel very happy.”
This was not the first time “The Walking Dead: Dead City” was filmed in Worcester. Production for the second season was filmed last year in the Heart of the Commonwealth.
Vishwas Hegde, a Worcester resident, said that he hadn’t seen the series before but noted that it was good that films and television shows are being filmed in Worcester.
He hopes that one of his favorite shows, “Peacemaker,” films in Worcester at some point.
“I’d love to see John Cena here shooting some shots,” Hegde said.
