Why Alden From The Walking Dead Looks So Familiar
By Mia Tucker
McAuliffe was in "The Walking Dead" from 2017 to 2022, but during that five-year stint, he also appeared in several movies, shows, and even the 2018 video game, "Return of the Obra Dinn." One of the movies he starred in was 2019's "Summer Night," a romantic drama coming-of-age story that explores young love and how finding your way in the world with a partner can be one of the most challenging things a person can do.
"Summer Night" breaks the mold quite a bit from the rest of the projects on this list. Usually starring in thrillers, horrors, and dramas, a film entirely focused on the complexities of romance seems a little out of place for the young actor. McAuliffe portrays Taylor, a young musician who grows increasingly attached to Dana (Ella Hunt), a woman who helps him after he's jumped by two men.
While growing closer to Dana, it can't be overlooked that Taylor is the object of someone else's affection. Vanessa (Melina Vidler) has a crush on him and it seems to be a somewhat longstanding one at that. This causes tension between the two girls and puts Taylor in an uncomfortable position of trying to intervene and keep the peace. Throughout the film, despite its ups and downs, though, Taylor stays firm on his interest in Dana.
