'The Walking Dead' Star Tyler James Williams Shares His Experience in 'Star Wars' Audition

Noah from "The Walking Dead" took Entertainment Weekly's Pop Culture Personality Test to reveal some of his secrets. One of which is his once-in-a-lifetime audition for the "Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens."

Tyler James Williams spilled his "Star Wars" try-out experience, his TV crush, his dedication as a Lannister and the flick that inspired him to be an actor in Entertainment Weekly's Pop Culture Personality Test.

During the interview, the "Walking Dead" star revealed that he once audition for "Star Wars VII" and insisted in joining the film even if he only had to do a minor role.

"I'll just stand in the back," Williams shared what he told one of the film crew. "You need guys to stand in the back, right? Yeah, I can do that." He added that he could be in the movie and the viewers wouldn't even know.

Williams even attempted to collect "Star Wars" memorabilia but he was unable to continue since the collectibles got expensive.

Entertainment Weekly also asked Williams which TV character the actor would date in real life. Williams admitted he has a thing for "powerful women" and picked Olivia Pope from the the TV series "The Scandal."

Williams also claimed to be a Lannister and disclosed that his family is "closely-knit."

"I really identify with the Lannisters," Williams said. "I'm one of those types of guys. I mean, especially with my family, such a, close-knit, you know, type of family where it's like, you know, you're not one of us.. we can be friends, we can be cool but you're not one of us." He added, "We also kill people. We also get people murdered."

When Williams was asked for his inspiration in becoming an actor, he answered that "Men in Black" made him want to act when he was four years old. He specifically pointed out Will Smith's influence.

"I looked at him and that guy kinda looks like me and apparently if he's doing this, I can do this too," William said.

Finally, Entertainment Weekly gave Williams the title "Darth Scandalous" based on his answers in the interview.

Williams can be seen in "The Walking Dead," which airs every Sunday 9:00 p.m. EST on AMC.
