"The Walking Dead," and many fans were frustrated with Eugene's actions in Season 7. However, some of those "fans" went so far as to send death threats to the actor. McDermitt got so sick of it, he deactivated all of his social media -- Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

Before he left, he posted a video mentioning the death threats, and saying he'll report any future threats to the cops; he also suggested whiners just get off the Internet and spend time with their families rather than complaining about everything:

"The Walking Dead" Season 8 premieres this October.
