Ross Marquand, the actor behind Aaron, one of The Walking Dead's most prominent gay characters, spoke with ComicBook.com about the importance of inclusiveness.

"I love it. I think it's very important," Marquand said. "I think that [The Walking Dead creator] Robert Kirkman has done a really good job of including characters of all walks of life, as it should be because that's how life really is.

It's a fair representation of how people are in the world. That every group is fully represented is very important to everyone on this show."

Marquand went on to praise network AMC, showrunner Scott Gimple and Kirkman for their adherence to the original source material, including staying true to the sexuality of its characters.
