Erik Jensen on The Walking Dead, Mr. Robot, Comics & Cancer Survival | 3 Geeks Podcast

The 3 Geeks Podcast welcomes actor and lifelong comic book fan Erik Jensen, known for his powerful performances on The Walking Dead and Mr. Robot, for a deeply personal and inspiring conversation. In this episode, Erik opens up about recently completing successful treatment for colorectal cancer and how reconnecting with his lifelong love of comic books helped carry him through that journey. A passionate collector since childhood, Erik shares how comics became a source of comfort, strength, and healing during one of the most challenging chapters of his life. As a way to give back, Erik is selling a large portion of his beloved comic book collection, with proceeds benefiting Sloan Kettering's Children's Cancer Center in New York City. We talk about the importance of community, the power of fandom, and how storytelling—on the page and on screen—can truly make a difference. We also dive into his award-winning film Brooklyn, Minnesota, where Erik stars alongside his daughter and Amy Madigan. The film has been gaining momentum on the festival circuit, and Erik shares what made the project so meaningful to him both personally and professionally. This is an honest, emotional, and geek-filled conversation about resilience, creativity, and the stories that shape us. 🛒 Erik's comic shops: ebay.com/str/doctoredward mycomicshop.com Follow the 3 Geeks Podcast on Instagram and X @3GeeksPodcast, and visit 3geekspodcast.com for more conversations with actors, creators, and pop culture voices. #ErikJensen #TheWalkingDead #MrRobot #ComicBooks #CancerSurvivor #IndieFilm #GiveBack #3GeeksPodcast
