The Walking Dead’s Emily Kinney is starting to make a scene in the music industry.
The actress who played the character “Beth Greene” in the hit series talked with Rolling Stone about her booming career while serving coffee to their customers in the café in Brooklyn where she used to work before.
"I do think it happened to be some lucky in-the-stars thing that they decided to make Beth [Greene, Kinney's Walking Dead character] be someone who sang, because audiences are a little more like, 'Oh, the singing one'. They're able to accept this other side of my personality that's making music," said Kinney.
Kinney has been working for four years during college in coffee shops when she was starting. This leads to her having a wide network in the music and acting industries. She attended New York University for a semester before pursuing a career in acting.
Juggling both her music and her acting career, Kinney said that she doesn’t need to choose between them because it’s always going to be both. "Acting and music are both my career. They're all part of who I am, and it makes me happy to have both in my life," she stated.
She released her EP back in 2011, which was the same time where she was casted in “The Walking Dead." She released another EP in 2013 which was re-released in 2014.
Kinney has been very active on the small screen this year. After her character being killed off in “The Walking Dead," she has been seen in multiple TV series. She appeared in the hit show “The Flash” as the Bug-Eyed Bandit. She is also juggling roles in “Masters Of Sex” as Nora Everett and it “The Knick” playing Nurse Daisy.
Kinney has also been in the Broadway stage after playing Anna in “Spring Awakening” and Jean Fordham in “August: Osage County."
