Andrew Lincoln
AS HE RETURNS TO HIS SIGNATURE ROLE, RICK GRIMES, WE TAKE HIM ON A TOUR OF ALL THINGS THE WALKING DEAD
WORDS CHRIS HEWITT
THERE’S MORE TO Andrew Lincoln than The Walking Dead, of course. There’s This Life, for one. The original version of Strike Back, for another. And, of course, his creepy/romantic cue-card waving at Keira Knightley in Love Actually. But there’s no question that The Walking Dead, and his dogged sheriff, Rick Grimes, has dominated. Lincoln led the show for nine seasons, before leaving to head back to England. But Rick wasn’t dead, and his return in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live affords us the perfect opportunity to take a little trip down zombie memory lane…

“I know where I was when I first saw that photo. Gale Anne Hurd, the brilliant producer who was instrumental in the success of this show along with Frank Darabont, was very clever. She said, ‘Word’s getting out —we need to find an image to pre-empt social media.’ And this was the image they chose. I remember Jack Davenport, who’s a dear friend, looked to me and went, ‘Damn, that’s a big hat to fill, but you’re filling it, son.’ That was the first three weeks of filming, and it was in Macon County. We closed down that road, and it was amazing.”
