Tribute to Stuntman John Bernecker
"The Walking Dead" showrunner Scott M. Gimple opened the show’s panel by reading a statement on behalf of the cast and crew in tribute to stuntman John Bernecker.
"John passed away this week after he was injured doing something he loved: helping tell stories that excite, entertain, and give people escape," he said. "He helped make movies and shows for people like everybody in this room. John was someone who was beloved in the stunt community, who helped train people and helped them break into the business. He was living his dream, and he helped other people do the same."
Bernecker died on July 13 after falling from a balcony while filming a stunt for Season 8.
