AMC's Emily Kinney talks zombies, music and more

AMC's show "The Walking Dead"  is a monster success.

Now in its fourth season, the zombie drama continues to be the top rated show on cable with an average of 13 million viewers every week. 

Our next guest Emily Kinney started out as a bit player on the show, but her role has grown with the series.

She plays a young woman named Beth who keeps a journal where she writes about trying to make the best of a very bad situation.

When she's not fighting off zombies, Emily Kinney writes music. She'll be performing at the Mint tonight in Los Angeles, so we thought we'd talk to her while she's in town.

When we chatted earlier this week, I asked her what it felt like—as an actress just starting out—  to land her part in "Walking Dead."
