His dad is doing everything short of announcing that they’re not going to re-sign him, including posting photos with the hashtag “Freedom.” If it’s a negotiating tactic, it’s a bad one. If it’s not, he’s being a complete and utter dick. ---

> [@jz78817](#): > > why? maybe the kid doesn’t want to do this any more. Not Chandler- hell, I support him leaving the show just so he can get a damn haircut. I meant his dad is being a dick by essentially serving as a walking, photo-posting spoiler alert. They primarily shoot during times Chandler would be out of school, so there was always potential plausible deniability by everyone involved with the show that they would work around his classes and keep him on the show; there’s certainly precedent for it. With dad running around like a modern day William Wallace, it’s pretty clear what’s likely to happen. ---

At the very least he shouldn’t have to worry about student loans. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk ---

Carl’s mom is trying to [quash](http://www.thewrap.com/walking-dead-star-chandler-rigg-mom-quash-rumors-actor-will-leave-show/) the rumors of him leaving. From the above cite: > [@](#): > > “Don’t over analyze. His seven year contract is up. That’s all he was saying, nothing else. Pretty big accomplishment for a child actor (and for the parent who had to quit his job for this child to be able to follow his dream).” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-walking-dead-7-05-go-getters-open-spoilers/772611.md?page=2)
