Lance James Henriksen was born on May 5, 1940 in New York, USA. In 1970 Lance Henriksen had the opportunity to join the cast of a stage play for which he had painted the scenarios with the complication that he was illiterate. Gradually he learned to read, also thanks to the scripts of the works in which he started finding roles, in theater, television and cinema. He reached the pinnacle of fame in television when Cris Carter created the TV show “Millennium” thinking of him as the protagonist. The show ran for three seasons and he was nominated for a Golden Globe for three straight years. The show had a sort of ending in an episode of “The X-Files”.
The novel “I Am Legend” by Richard Matheson was published for the first time in 1954.
Robert Neville’s days are spent looking for the vampires who live in the area around his home hiding from the sunlight to go out after sunset. He tries to find and kill as many of them as possible, knowing that at night they will come looking for him to convince him to go out, sometimes attempting an attack to break into his house.
The situation for Robert Neville is difficult because, as far as he knows, he’s the last man left on Earth after a pandemic turned everyone else into vampires. He struggles to remain lucid and all too often gets drunk to escape the despair caused by that situation. He tries to understand the origin and characteristics of vampirism hoping to improve his defenses, but he always risks making fatal mistakes.
The 10th season was produced and broadcast almost all in the format that have become usual: 15 episodes of which 8 were broadcast in October / November 2019 and 7 in February / April 2020. The season finale was postponed to a date yet to be determined because post-production was interrupted when the Covid-19 emergency broke out. The problem could hit the whole saga and has already caused the delay of the airing of the new spinoff “The Walking Dead: Beyond World” as its debut is now announced generically for later in 2020.
The tenth season is entirely dedicated to the clash between the various communities and the Whisperers. There’s a new leap forward from the end of the ninth season, but only a few months. The situation seems to indicate a truce, but it’s clear from the beginning that there’s no real peace and that something can happen at any time.
