Ryan Hurst plays Beta, a tougher-than-nails villain on "The Walking Dead," but in real life, he's definitely only human.

The actor, 42, has revealed he had to be rushed to the hospital while filming the zombie-apocalypse series in Georgia over the summer.

“Oh my God,” Ryan told Entertainment Weekly. “I landed in the hospital once this year from heat exhaustion."

"I’m in a leather trench coat and two layers under that in Georgia in the summer. It’s no joke, man," he added, referencing his character, Beta's, costume.

For nonviewers, Beta is the No. 2 in a group of survivors who wear masks made from zombie skin.

Hurst previously talked to EW about Beta's mask and how he doesn't ever remove it on the show. “I wish I could say that I hate it, but I love it! ... Even though you’re in Atlanta in 110-degree weather, I love wearing that mask. I really, really do," he said.
