Andrew Lincoln

Andrew Lincoln played the iconic hero of The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes. Even though he was making an incredible $1 million an episode, Lincoln didn’t appreciate all the time he was forced to be away from his family in England, while the show was filming in Georgia.

The actor asked to be written off the show in the ninth season to spend more time with his family, but Lincoln said he would consider reprising his role for three TV movies on AMC.  While his character was an integral part of the show, his castmates have stepped in to fill the gap and create a new level of depth on the show.
