Andrew (TV Series)

"Shoot him! We can take back the prison!"

- Andrew trying to convince Oscar to shoot Rick and take back the prison.

Andrew is a prisoner who survived the zombie apocalypse with Tomas, Big Tiny, Axel, and Oscar. He can be described as the "child" of the group as he was somewhat small and weak. Andrew made his debut appearance in Season 3 of the The Walking Dead during the TV Series episode, "Seed." Andrew is the one who caused the chain reaction of events that occur in "Killer Within".

Character
Glen Mazzara on Andrew:


 * “Andrew is really Tomas’ right hand man. These guys are really the ones who have been intimidating Axel and Oscar.”

West Georgia Correctional Facility
Hardly anything is known about Andrew's life before the apocalypse or as the apocalypse began. He was a convicted criminal being held in the prison.

Season 3
As the apocalypse began, a big rebellion and riot started in the prison. Andrew, Tomas, Oscar, Big Tiny, and Axel were taken to the prison's cafeteria by a guard. They were locked inside with only a revolver as the guard went out to call for backup. He never returned and the five prisoners spent the whole beginning of the apocalypse locked inside for 10 months, without knowing what was going on outside.

"Seed"
He was found after Daryl Dixon, Rick Grimes, Glenn, T-Dog, and Maggie broke open the cafeteria's door to escape walkers. He witnessed the amputation of Hershel Greene's leg.

"Sick"
Similar to the other prisoners, Andrew was confused about what was going on. He was shocked after being told by Rick about what had happened to the world. When Tomas claimed the prison, Andrew stood with him, but they ended up accepting Rick's offer to give half of their food in exchange for help clearing Cell Block B for the prisoners to live in. On their way to the cell block, while fighting walkers, Big Tiny was scratched and is told by Rick that there was nothing they could do about his infection. Andrew stood up for Big Tiny, desperately pleading to Rick that there must have been a way to save him. He witnessed Tiny's brutal death at the hands of Tomas, but didn't show any feelings about it. While clearing out the laundry room, Tomas attempted killing Rick twice and Rick responded by impaling Tomas' head, killing him instantly. Andrew attempted to attack Rick, but instead, was knocked down and disarmed. Andrew fled the room and ran down the corridors, attempting to evade Rick, who had begun pursuing. Eventually, Andrew ran into a courtyard filled with walkers. He attempted to reenter the prison, but Rick had closed the entry gate, and only told Andrew that he'd, "better run." Andrew then attempted to avoid the walkers closing in on him. As Rick turned to leave, he heard Andrew's screams, presuming that he was eaten alive.

Later in the episode, someone was seen watching Carol performing a C-Section on a walker. It was implied that this was Andrew.

"Killer Within"
It is revealed that Andrew had somehow survived the encounter with walkers that Rick had left him in. He ultimately set in motion the events that led to walkers invading the prison, which ended up killing T-Dog and causing Lori to give birth and die in the process. He later revealed himself and attacked Rick while he was most vulnerable. He was close to killing Rick as Daryl was stuck blocking the door from walkers. Oscar eventually grabbed Rick's gun, which was dropped during the scuffle between Rick and Andrew. Andrew yelled for Oscar to kill Rick to allow them to take the prison back. Oscar, however, turned the gun on Andrew and killed him instead.

"The Suicide King"
Andrew is mentioned by Rick while deciding whether to allow Tyreese's group to join their group or not. He recounts the horrors that occurred because of Tomas and Andrew.

Killed By
After leading a horde of walkers to the prison,  Andrew attacked Rick in the prison's generator room. During their scuffle, Rick dropped his gun. The firearm was picked up by Andrew's fellow inmate, Oscar. Oscar raised the gun at both Andrew and Rick, but decided to shoot Andrew in the head.
 * Oscar

Killed Victims
This is a list of victims Andrew has killed:
 * T-Dog (Caused)
 * Numerous counts of zombies and possibly people.

Rick Grimes
"You better run."

- Rick to Andrew after trapping him in a courtyard full of walkers.

After Rick murdered Tomas, Andrew tried to kill Rick, but Rick dodged his attack, prompting Andrew to flee, eventually winding up in a courtyard full of walkers. Rick then locked Andrew in the courtyard, telling him to run. After shutting the door, and hearing Andrew's screams, Rick assumed he was eaten alive. However, Andrew survived and lured walkers into the prison in "Killer Within", in the hopes of Rick's group being killed, allowing him and his fellow prisoners to reclaim the prison for themselves. Andrew tried once again to kill Rick, but was stopped and killed by Oscar.

Rick's decision to not kill Andrew directly haunts him as it eventually caused Lori to die in childbirth.

Tomas
Andrew was apparently very close to Tomas as shown by his willingness to go along with Tomas' decisions, this is revealed through comments made by both Axel and Oscar. After the death of Tomas, Andrew tried to kill Rick and his group, and even seemed to try and avenge him by taking back the prison. It is unknown if they were friends before they were locked in the cafeteria together.

Big Tiny
"Can't you save him, just like you did with the old man?"

- Andrew to Rick, trying to convince him to save Big Tiny.

Andrew seemed to be friends with Big Tiny and was in denial when Rick kept telling him they could not save him or cut off his wound. When Tomas struck Big Tiny and killed him, Andrew crouched and watched in sorrow and fear.
