Even during pandemic, ‘Walking Dead’ star Matt Lintz calls Auburn ‘the place I need to be’

Senior year was going to be great. Prom, pranks, wisdom teeth, the works. Matt Lintz, third down in one of the most prolific families of child actors in the country, was finally going to feel like a regular kid. He was finally going to experience a full year of high school.

He’d spent most of his freshman year in Hungary as Stevie Taggart, a troubled young ward of the Kreizler Institute for Wayward & Abandoned Children on TNT’s “The Alienist.” He did it all over again as a sophomore.

Half of his junior year went to playing the teenage version of Henry, a character first portrayed by younger brother Macsen, on “The Walking Dead” (which older sister Madison also starred in).
