Early life[editar | editar código]

Riggs was born on June 27, 1999 in Atlanta, Georgia to Gina Ann (née Carlton) and William Riggs.[1][2][3] He has a younger brother named Grayson.[1] Riggs studied tap dancing for several years with So You Think You Can Dance finalist Zack Everhart.[4]

Career[editar | editar código]

Beginnings[editar | editar código]

Riggs began acting at age four. His early work included stage productions of The Wizard of Oz, where he played a Munchkin in his theater debut, and Oklahoma with Theater of the Stars at Atlanta's Fox Theatre.[1][2][4] At age five, he starred in the indie horror film Jesus H. Zombie.[3][5] At age nine in 2009, he was cast in his first two feature film roles in Get Low as Tom and in the television film The Wronged Man as seven-year-old Ryan Gregory.[2][4][6] The latter film, which aired on Lifetime in 2010, saw Riggs acting opposite Julia Ormond as her son.[7]

The Walking Dead[editar | editar código]

In 2010 at age 10, Riggs was cast as Carl Grimes, his biggest role to date, on the AMC horror-drama television series The Walking Dead, which is based on the eponymous comic book series.[8] Riggs had previously worked with the series' executive producer Gale Anne Hurd on The Wronged Man.[3][7] The series follows Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), the father of Riggs' character Carl, as he and his group of family, friends, and strangers fight to survive in a violent apocalyptic world populated with zombies and the few surviving humans, some of whom are even more dangerous than the zombies themselves.[3][9] Proving to be a ratings success, the series became the #1 show in all of television among adults 18-49.[10]

Riggs and the other main cast members of The Walking Dead won the 2012 Satellite Award for Best Cast in a Television Series.[11] For his performance in the series as Carl, Riggs was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor in a Television Series five consecutive times and won the award three times in 2014, 2016, and 2018.[12] In 2014, Riggs also won a Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Series - Leading Young Actor after previously being nominated for the award in 2012 and 2013.[13] Along with several of his co-stars, Riggs lent his voice to a special episode of Robot Chicken titled "The Robot Chicken Walking Dead Special: Look Who’s Walking" in 2017, reprising his role as Carl.[14]

In late 2017, Riggs was let go from The Walking Dead when, in a drastic departure from the comic book source material, his character was controversially killed off midway through the series' eighth season.[15][16] Riggs' 77th and final episode of the series aired on February 10, 2018.[16][17]

Further projects[editar | editar código]

Riggs appeared in the Blumhouse Productions supernatural thriller film Mercy in 2014 and the Voltage Pictures horror film Keep Watching in 2017.[4][18] In 2017, Riggs started DJing various events around the United States and released his first song "Hold Up" under his stage name "Eclipse" in December of that year.[13][19] That same month, he was cast in the crime thriller film Inherit the Viper.[20] He played the role of Cooper in the film, which premiered in 2019.[21][22] He also starred in the science fiction thriller film Only in 2019.[23] In January 2019, Riggs was cast as PJ for a multi-episode arc on the ABC freshman drama series A Million Little Things.[24] Riggs, whose character's full name was revealed to be Patrick Nelson, returned for the series' second season.[25]
