Andrew Lincoln

Andrew James Clutterbuck (born 14 September 1973), known professionally as Andrew Lincoln, is an English actor. His first major role was as the character Egg in the BBC drama This Life (1996–97). Lincoln later portrayed Simon Casey in the Channel 4 sitcom Teachers (2001–03), Mark in the Christmas-themed romantic comedy film Love Actually (2003) and Dr. Robert Bridge in the ITV television series Afterlife (2005–06). From 2010 to 2018 and later 2022, Lincoln gained recognition for his portrayal of Rick Grimes, the lead character on the AMC post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, for which he won the Saturn Award for Best Actor on Television in 2015 and 2017. He departed The Walking Dead in 2018, but reprised his role as Rick in 2022 in the series finale and in the spin-off The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live in 2024.
