Chuckles heartily
First of all, put I'm laughing like crazy at this question!
I'm gonna go with the traditional bottom fish.

Well, one organization that is near & dear to my heart is Camp Diva - and if you go to http://campdiva.org, that's in Richmond, VA. She's out of my hometown, but the work she's been able to do in Richmond with these young African-American girls, what she does, transforming their lives, one girl at a time... and one of the most amazing things we were able to do, because Tyreese is very much about transformation and forgiveness, we do a "Date with Dad dance" every year. So every year, first of all - let's celebrate fathers & daughters dressing up together, and understanding the value of time spent, and how important a father is in his daughter's life. So what happened was: one little girl said "I can't go to the date with dad, because my dad is in prison." And the other little girl said "Well, why can't we go to the prison and do the Date with Dad dance inside the prison?"
Now, this is unheard of.
This is not happening.
But out of the mouths of babes - it happened, and it happens every year now. And now thanks to my TED talk, and me being the face of this particular arm of the foundation, now we are taking it all over the country.
Another organization is called is the "Make a Film Foundation" (http://makeafilmfoundation.org). Now what we're able to do is deal with terminally or seriously ill kids - and we're able to make little short films with them, and then one child is able to make a full-length short film with all professionals, people in the industry donate their time - from cameramen, to directors. And if you go and look, you'll see some of the actors who have donated their time - not only actors, but also directors, seriously BIG time directors. The girl that wrote JUNO was a part of it, Robert Rodriguez was a part of it, Sean Astin from Lord of the Rings was in one of the movies, Ernie Hudson from GHOSTBUSTERS and everything - we've had some real top-notch actors participate! It's an amazing organization, so please, please donate to it. My childhood friend created that organization.
I mean, I came from a community that said "To whom much is given, much is required." I'm not saying it should be anybody else's mantra, but it is mine.
And we're still working on this, but it's called "Chad's Fighting Chance" and basically what we're going to do is go into the hood, and put the focus on kids and a trainer, using boxing as a means to grow and change. And there are so many components to it - I don't want to get into all of it, but basically we follow these kids, and when we get the website up, you'll be able to follow the web series and blog with these kids, donate money to a scholarship fund, you can mentor these kids. From anywhere around the world. So that's myself, Darnell Walker (the trainer), Reginald Williams, Dave Russotto, and Natalia Melhman.

1.) Incredibly intense, and very exhausting, but very inspiring, because each one of these actors are so honest, and real in their portrayal that it makes it easier for me to do my work, because they all bring their A-Game, the girls included. Everybody came to work with their A-game, so that inspired me to go further.
2.) At this point, my 2 favorite moments are the Hallucination Scene with the Governor and the Forgiveness Scene with Carol in season 4.

That was a daunting task. There was a lot - I don't know, probably 120 pages each script? And there were about 20 of them. Each script, there's a lot that you have to say because people have to have all these options of what they can do in the game. It was exciting and fun, to be a part of a video game, so that was great, but it was a lot of work.

Let me get this right, because I don't believe I've killed any human. I can't tally up all the Walkers I killed, but probably - once I was in that herd, I destroyed quite a few of 'em? So I'd definitely say well over 300 plus. But I don't believe - I need to make sure - but I don't believe I killed a human.
