Chandler Riggs plays Carl Grimes, son of Rick and Lori Grimes. He was only a child when the 'apocalypse' began. He has to grow up pretty quickly in order to protect himself from the walkers. The actor is only 19 years old but he has received several awards, including Best Performance in a TV Series.
It was confirmed in interviews that Carl's death served a very specific purpose. It didn't happen because Riggs wanted to leave; it happened because of the emotional impact it had on Rick. It's been explained that Carl's death needed to happen to get Rick in the mindset of his comic book counterpart.
That's right, Carl lost an eye in The Walking Dead midseason premiere, after taking a bullet for his dad. Michonne, however, didn't have time to consider all of these complex past events, and stabbed Ron before he could kill Rick, which caused Ron to shoot Carl's eye out as he fell.
