9. Scott Wilson (Hershel) has had kind of a bad-ass career, which took off with major roles in In the Heat of the Night in 1967 followed by a role as one of the murderers in Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. He’s had fairly stead work as a character actor ever since. That’s him on the right, from In Cold Blood.
10. David Morrissey who is set to play The Governor in season three, was nominated for a Razzie for his work in Basic Instinct 2. More interestingly, however, is that he’s married to the great granddaughter of Sigmund Freud. He’s a longtime British television actor who some of you may recognize from his role in Doctor Who.
11. Pruitt Taylor Vince, who played Otis in a few episodes, always plays twitchy, nervous and disturbed characters (in fact, he beat out the likes of William H. Macy, Ewan McGregor, and Alan Arkin to win the Emmy for outstanding guest star for his role in Murder One in 1995). The reason he often plays these characters is because Vince has nystagmus, a condition which causes a person’s eyes to move involuntarily.
He’s also recently been in an episode of Justified.
12. There’s not very much interesting about Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori), except that ironically considering viewers’ opinion of Lori, Callies’ character on Prison Break was a fan favorite, and she married her college boyfriend at Darthmouth, a martial arts teacher who looks like a total dork.

Of course Lori’s interesting facts are the worst. (Can’t wait for the new season!)
I can’t wait until they kill her stupid ass off.
Do you think they’ll kill her off in the TV show? I don’t think they have the balls to, honestly. In the comics, Rick doesn’t even have his left hand anymore at the point they are in the story, and I doubt they’ll go through with that either.
Done
13. That any of them could actually act.
Laurie is Marita Covarrubius?!
Mind. Blown.
Hell, in addition to Carol, half the cast of this TV show was in Darabont’s “The Mist”. Saw the end of it on SyFy a few weeks ago and both Laurie and Dale were in the car together and it really threw me until I saw that Darabont directed it..
Also a little known fact: Chandler Riggs is a 33 year old woman with hypopituitarism.
Norman Reedus was also in Blade Two
So he got to knock up Helena Christensen and fight Wesley Snipes? I want his life.
The Mist sucked.
THANK YOU. Where were you when I was saying that shit over at Filmdrunk brah?
Sorry, it’s one of the best King movies out there, and the ending they went with kicks way more ass…
Also, Danai Gurira, who is now playing Michonne, is an accomplished playwright, and won the Obie award in 2006 for her play, “In the Continuum.”
Steven Yeun was also Sheldon’s roommate before Leonard arrived on The Big Bang Theory. He was briefly in a flashback episode.
An over-achieving Asian? You don’t say.
Darabont also wrote “The Blob” remake screenplay…and it’s a decent horror schlockfest type of movie. Good for midnight on a lonely Saturday.
There was going to be something about the actor who plays Carl, but he ran off halfway through this article.
+1. Carl and Manny from Modern Family should have a playdate with zombies.
Hahaha
I didn’t think Norman Reedus could get any cooler in my book and then you go and tell me that he has a love child with Helena Christenson.
Pruitt Taylor Vince was awesome in USA’s “Touching Evil” too
wasn’t he the puppet dude on heroes? if so he was creepy as shit. if that wasn’t him… well then there are two creepy fat dudes working and that shit ain’t right.
@DEVO, no he wasn’t. You’re thinking of: [www.imdb.com] who I usually confuse with Paul Giamatti.
He was also in Deadwood, which is my barometer for awesomeness. Plus he was in the Cape, so lucky him.
13: The Boondock Saints 2 DVD back cover spells Norman’s name “Norman Reddus”.
13. Any of their names.
But then, I don’t watch the show, so really the only thing I DO know about the cast of TWD is that they are the cast of TWD. And even that doesn’t really sit right in my brain. Okay, that’s all I’ve got to say.
Jon Bernthal also had a major role in the HBO’s The Pacific. Bit more substantial than one line on How I Met Your Mother.
I also spotted him as Al Capone in Night At The Museum 2 (hate to admit I watched it, but Amy Adams’ Ass in khaki was worth it)
“Where are the fun & interesting facts about the kid who plays Carl?” – said no one.
main guy also is British and was on the original version of “teachers”
I do believe Andrea was in ‘The Mist’ as well.
