Andrew Lincoln | The Walking Dead

Andrew Lincoln first began appearing in films during the early 2000s. Many of his roles did help propel his career forward, but it wasn’t until Love Actually did he gain traction. His performance helped him break into Hollywood, where he eventually started getting cast in various television shows. He would spend years acting in theatre and also received credit for voice work.

By 2010, however, he finally got the big break he needed. He was cast as Rick Grimes for the AMC’S The Walking Dead. He played the lead on the show until 2018, when he decided to quit. Since the show first aired, it had become one of the most popular primetime programs on TV. In fact, he had been earning $650,000 per episode by the time he left. If you’re one of the fans who miss him, fret not. He is signed on to star on a trilogy of films based on the series!
