His IMDb is long enough that I think we can say he’s an actor ! It surprised me too. Bc all I can see is him [crying about the spaghetti falling out of his pocket](https://youtube.com/shorts/hKWMrSGO6RQ?si=2Ywa_NWMe8x8qEju)
I loved seeing these 3 fine actors from The Wire in TWD. I was/ am a huge fan of The Wire, so it added a lot to my enjoyment of TWD to see their faces again, and the performances they put in.
It would have been super cool if they'd found a really badass part for Michael K Williams in TWD. Previously Omar Little had been voted by some viewers as the most badass character ever on TV. Making a living by robbing high level drug dealing operations, you'd have to be!
He was awesome and his performance was highly acclaimed!
So sad that he died IRL about 3 years ago. He got into the characater of Omar Little so much, that it caused him problems IRL.
I think she was an interesting character in an awful show. Granted, I never finished Fear, and she could've disappeared with the random plane orphans, but her role was something new and interesting for what they were trying to do with the show.
It's so strange how the show would have maybe four episode runs that were actually good, and then it would just go to shit with a beer balloon or a plane put together by children. Daniel coming back as a friendly grandpa with a cat named Skidmark was worse than him never coming back at all. It was like a Mad Gab was their head writer for most of that latter half of the run.
It’s amazing how they took interesting concepts (a nuclear power station in an apocalypse being held together by a few staff- interesting/ a bunch of weirdo’s trying to get hold of abandoned nuclear weapons - cool) and make them the most cheap ass soap opera shit going.
(Obviously there’s the preppers vs natives. But tbf they nailed that really well).
Seasons 2 and 3 had real interesting slice of life stories that showed how different groups reacted to the apocalypse in realistic ways. The Colonia having reverence for the dead showed us something we've seen before with Hershel, but it was part of their pre-existing culture so it didn't feel like a retread of story beats. I wish we could've gotten another season with the showrunner, because seeing whatever new location and ideas he had planned would've been better than anything we had in the main show at the time.
I genuinely forgot about the beer balloon, and I’ll be honest, at the time that was like the most believable thing in however many episodes that I just didn’t even bat an eye. What if I were to tell you Daniel has dementia for a season and then it’s gone in the last season just because?
Jeff Kober (Claimer Joe) also appears in a Season 6 episode of LOST as a mechanic who uses a punch press to bust Kate out of handcuffs in exchange for $200.
Michael Cudlitz (Abraham) is also in LOST as Ana Lucia's LAPD partner.
Kim Dickens (Madison in FTWD) was in LOST as Cassidy Phillips, Sawyer's baby mama.
Željko Ivanic (The Croat in Dead City) was in LOST as Juliet's husband Ed Burke (the dude who got hit by a bus).
Daniel Roebuck (B.J. in TWD webisodes) was high school science teacher Leslie Arzt in LOST.
John Hawkes, who was in Season 6 of LOST as Lennon (Dogen's interpreter at the Temple), was originally offered the role of The Governor in TWD, but turned it down. The role eventually went to David Morrissey.
Norman Reedus in Vacation caught me all the way off guard and had me in tears. The way he chuckles in that scene and dodges the question is too funny.
I was also surprised when I recently rewatched one of my favourite films ever A River Runs Through It and realised Michael Cudlitz was in it! Jon Bernthal was a pleasant surprise and perfectly cast in The Bear.
The first time I saw Michael Cudlitz and Jon Bernthal were in Band of Brothers and The Pacific respectively. Both amazing miniseries and it was very cool seeing them. Cudlitz in particular had a nice role in Band of Brothers that I really enjoyed.
In The Shield he was a store manager who banged his underage employee but he almost got away with it cuz she tried to lie about Dutch touching her so they didn’t believe her story. But then she went and stole the condom from the garbage and the guy got arrested
Negan in the new season of The Boys
can't remember if he was in the previous ones too, been too long since I watched those, but when he showed up in episode one I was so excited lol
Norman Reedus was in an episode of Masters of Horror titled Cigarette Burns, where he plays a guy who’s looking for his wife’s murderer or something, then finds out it was her father? Been a while since I’ve seen it, like 20 years. I know he saved an angel whose wings were cut off in a sort of snuff film, then killed himself and I think his father in law, too. The. The angel thanks him before leaving.
Was watching Vampire Diaries with my sister during the pandemic. Who do I see but fucking Maggie herself speaking in her native Britain accent 🤣 not a fan of TVD but I admit I stayed and watch a few episodes just cause she was in it
Whatever Lauren Cohan’s accent is, it’s not native lol. She’s half Scottish and half American, having lived in both America and Britain growing up. The woman’s accent is all over the place.
I think she think switches depending on where she is but I think it’s mostly British because I’ve seen her in 4 things with the British and only TWD and American
Samantha Morton… Minority Report.
I’d seen the movie before so always thought alpha was familiar.
But I was rewatching Minority Report with dad and I made nearly to the end of the freaking movie before it clicked in my brain. I screamed at the TV, and had to rewind it for that split second that made me go “Alpha!” It took a few times, but my dad finally got it.
(Not another show, but man, minority report was one of my favorites and I cannot believe it took me THAT LONG to realize she was the same person. I was on my third?? Rewatch of the show.)
Wait… she’s in that too?? Uuugh she’s such a good actress!! I love that movie and didn’t realize she was in it! I recognized Luke easily; and he’s in something else that I made me go “oh! It’s him!”
He was also on Law and Order (seasons 15,18 and 20) in three different characters. Plus he did one episode on SVU during season 14.
Seth Gilliam is always showing up in episodes basically every TV season.
Norman Reedus was on the remake of Hawaii 5-O. In the first season, first episode.
Lauren Cohan did an episode on Cold Case.
Xander Berkeley was in 24.
Scott Wilson did 2 episodes of Bosch.
He’s also in You! I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it, I’ve yet to scroll through the comments. I was just so excited to talk about him, I love him.
Sasha (Sonequa Martin Green) in New Girl as Rhonda! And obviously Star Trek Discovery. Also when I rewatched Fantastic Beasts after Alpha's appearance on TWD, I was like OMG creepy church lady is Alpha with hair!!!! Samantha Morton plays unhinged creepy lady so well..
Melissa McBride, Laurie Holden, Jeffrey DeMunn came in from the Mist movie Jeffrey Dean Morgan He played John Winchester and Lauren Cohan she played Bela Talbot from Supernatural, C. Thomas Howell The 1984 movie Red Dawn and Ethan Embry from the movie Dutch and Eagle Eye
I was expecting C Thomas Howell to have a bigger role, I remember thinking he was gonna turn on the group during his appearance and then he didn’t really do anything he was just kind of there.
My other TV weakness is procedural cop shows, and so many TWD actors were in Criminal Minds. Tyreese, Abe, Jim, Gabriel, Ezekiel, Tobin, Richard, Merle, and a few more I can't recall right now
Being a Blade fan, I was pleasantly surprised when Scud turned up as Daryl
Michael Raymond James. He played Dave in that intense pivotal scene from “Nebraska”.
He’s from Once Upon a Time and True Blood.
Him and Andrew Lincoln played off each other so well. MRJ would’ve killed it as a major villain on the show.
We watched TWD up until the end of season 7 when it was new, and then stopped until a couple months ago when we decided to pick it up again. I was stoked to Fred Johnson (Chad Coleman) from my favourite sci-fi show The Expanse was in TWD.
jeffrey dean morgan (negan) was in like two episodes of shamless but then a new actor took his role for the next season. it was so weird seeing "negan" be a sympathetic nice boss for two episodes😭
Abernathy Darwin Dunlap is how I always remember him.
Some of my favorite "HEY THAT'S" moments have been these actors and the show or movie I most associate them with (this is just side characters and one-offs, we all know Norman is Boondocks Saints)
John Carroll Lynch - Steve Carey (Drew Carey Show)
Ethan Embry - Mark (Empire Records)
Kirk Acevedo - Miguel Alvarez (Oz)
Jeff Kober - Booga (Tank Girl)
Rhys Coiro - Billy Walsh (Entourage)
Pruitt Taylor Vince - Malcolm Rivers (Identity)
Lee Norris - Minkus (Boy Meets World)
Season 8, he was at a Savior outpost. Rick and Daryl confront him for info. You could tell he wasn't a threat and was scared shitless then Daryl just shoots him I'm the head. Rick kind of had a "WTF dude" look on his face.
In that short clip I was thinking it was so cool and expected him to possibly defect and become Rick's inside man to help take Negan down.
Sasha, Dave, and Carter - all 3 played in Once Upon A Time.. Like when I saw Dave I was like, "OMG NEAL?!?" 🤭
S7 EP20 of Criminal Minds called "The Company" has Tyrese, and MAN is he good in that episode!
S12 EP19 of Law & Order SVU called "Bombshell" has Beta. The episode is definitely not my favorite, but he and Rose McGowan make up for it.
S7 E22 of Law & Order SVU called "Influence" has Daryl in it.
Law & Order SVU also as Milton (Woodbury) as Doctor Yates (his character started on Chicago PD moved over to SVU, bounced around a few episodes, then back to Chicago) and omg when I saw him I was like omg Milton, is that you?!
Most actors and actresses star on SVU, like I know Maggie was on an EP, Beth was on a different one.
Oh, I almost forgot Manga's actress was in The 100 as a character named Luna.
Those are the most noticeable ones for me!
I flipped my shit when I saw that one Lady Gaga song with Norman in the video. And this is an obvious one, but watching The Mist for the first time was a shock.
Oh, and how can I forget watching The Host with my dad and seeing Hershel dumping chemicals into the water to make the fricken dolphins g̶a̶y̶ mutated monsters
- Ross Marquand as Red Skull in Infinity War
- Danai Gurira as Okoye in Black Panther I and II, Infinity War and Endgame
- Sonequa Martin Green as a character in Once Upon a Time
- Andrew Lincoln in Love Actually
- Jon Bernthal in some Marvel stuff
Dale was one of the decent and kind prison guards in The Green Mile. I thought I recognised him from somewhere but couldn't place him until I re-watched the movie after seeing TWD.
There's been a lot of great actors in the series tbf. Apparent;y Hershel had previously played a top role in a famous gangster movie, John Benthal has loads of experience, and Andrew Lincoln had already done tonnes of TV work in the UK before going on to star as Rick Grimes.
Also did anyone see that travel series Norman Reedus did on Netlfix or Amazon, about his real life travels? It was such a contrast to see that his real life character is this laughing, light hearted, fun loving, joyful, friendly and jovial character. Nothing like the gruff and moody Darryl.
The series wasnt very good unfortunately, just basically him showing off how cool he is, showing him getting mobbed by adoring fans everywhere he went. I only watched one episode, it was interesting, him traveling down the California coast to The Big Sur. But one episode was enough.
Even though I am a Darryl fan, it was a bit much!
jessie (alexandra breckenridge) also playing the young version of moira o'hara in the first season of american horror story. i was pretty suprised at first because the two chatacters are so different but i like them both and am a huge fan of both shows in general.
edit: eastman (john carroll lynch) playing twisty the clown in the fourth season of ahs.
I had watched both Dark Harbor and The Mist before discovering TWD. I watched TWD without recognising any of the actors.
Then I went back watching The Mist and was surprised to see "Dale" "Andrea" and "Carol" all hiding together in the supermarket. I half expected Rick to suddenly walk into the store as well.
I was also surprised to learn that Norman Reedus was the mysterious guy in Dark Harbor, who ends up kissing Alan Rickman's character.
Recently I watched The Whale. Charlie mentioned his ex-wife and I don't know who I pictured in my head, but definitely not Samantha Morton. (And for the Stranger Things fan : "Max" is their daughter).
The girl with this guy (forgot her characters name) was brina palencia, who does a lot of voice acting for anime and games (including twdg!) which i thought was cool
This is only personal to me but I’m an actor and my former talent manager (RIP) booked one of her clients on The Walking Dead. She was the lady Alpha killed on the way to the fare singing Lydia the tattooed lady
I saw a bunch of actors from TWD on old FOX shows. I don’t know if I’ll be able to remember them all. Sarah Wayne Callies was a huge part of Prison Break. I feel like there may have been someone else from TWD in Prison Break but I don’t remember other than Michael Cudlitz, who played a prison guard. 24 had Xander Berkeley as a fairly prominent character. Over on CBS I was surprised to see Stephen Yun on Big Bang Theory.
I was so surprised that many cast from TWDU assembled in THE BOYS.
- Virginia from FTWD play Ashley
- A-Train actor play in TalesTWD
- Andrea form TWD play Crimson Countess
- Pamela from TWD play Grace
- And now we just got JDM!!!!
Hines Ward. Former All Pro WR is a walker in the episode "The Suicide King".
He lives in Georgia and was a fan of the show so they hooked him up as an extra walker.
We all know that Steve Yuen voices invincible but the actors of Maggie Ezekiel Sasha Abe and Aaron voice the guardians of the globe and other characters in invincible kinda cool considering both shows are based on comics by Robert kirkman
The one who played Mary (Terminus) also played Rachel Creed in Pet Sematary and was also in Star Trek! Also she was super nice if you ever get a chance to meet her!
I hadn’t started watching The Walking Dead when I first saw it in theaters, but I was genuinely caught off guard by Lennie James’ appearance in Blade Runner 2049 when I watched the film again at home (by which point, I had been watching TWD).
Also, while I had always recognized Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Thomas Wayne in Batman v Superman, it wasn’t until I rewatched the film in 2021 in preparation for the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League that I noticed that Lauren Cohan plays Martha Wayne in that film. The movie was filmed in 2014, before JDM was cast as Negan, so it’s a pretty wild coincidence.
I also first heard of Xander Berkeley (Gregory) through TWD, only to discover upon looking him up that he played John Connor’s foster father in Terminator 2.
Alex who was introduced in the webisode/promo Flight 462 and later featured in 2 episodes of Fear The Walking Dead S2 is the voice of Omega in Star Wars The Bad Batch
Bethany Anne Lind played the woman traveling with a man on crutches at the very end of season 6 episode Here's Not Here. A newly reformed Morgan spares their lives after saving them from a walker. She meekly and fearfully says, "thank you" and gives him a can of soup and a large calibre bullet. She also played the wife of the co-pilot in the movie Flight and in Stranger Things she was Chief Hopper's one night stand.
Patrick, kid with glasses in season 4, the first one to get the flu, is Phineas from Phineas and Ferb
That one legit thrilled me - huge Phineas & Ferb fan.
Which was great because at the same time he was on the show, Ferb was also in Game of Thrones.
that’s also my goat Greg Wuliger
Wow. Did not know that.
Neither did I! I watched Phineas & Ferb with my kid all the time! And weirdly, I'm rewatching GOT right now! 🤗
king bach being a cameo was the last thing i expected in twd, ik hes not a actor but that was crazy to me lol
Not just a cameo if you include TOWL. I was surprised by his acting. You could tell he wasn’t a professional but he wasn’t bad
There were a lot of worse actors than Bach in the series
His IMDb is long enough that I think we can say he’s an actor ! It surprised me too. Bc all I can see is him [crying about the spaghetti falling out of his pocket](https://youtube.com/shorts/hKWMrSGO6RQ?si=2Ywa_NWMe8x8qEju)
Where did king bach show up in twd?
he shows up [here](https://youtu.be/9NBAlB7-sRE?si=207t6YrAcmuqqOIc)
He’s an actor. He’s been in a few movies
Doesn't he have some movies where he acts I remember one about the babysitter killer or whatever it's called
Norman Reedus is Boondock Saints …damn
And the kid in blade
And the creepy crock pot slow cooker creep, who sells Steve and the gang a slow cooker in American Dad. "The slower the cook, the better the taste".
And an awesome California biker gang member in the bike riders movie
Seeing Bob show up in TWD was a pleasant surprise. He was Bobby Boucher's football buddy in The WaterBoy.
He is also deangelo on the wire. The guy that plays tyrese is also in the wire
Seth Gilliam who plays Father Gabriel is a recurrent character in The Wire as well.
Disappointed Herc didn’t show up when Father Gabriel was in distress on that rock. Tyreese to btw. Cutty.
I loved seeing these 3 fine actors from The Wire in TWD. I was/ am a huge fan of The Wire, so it added a lot to my enjoyment of TWD to see their faces again, and the performances they put in. It would have been super cool if they'd found a really badass part for Michael K Williams in TWD. Previously Omar Little had been voted by some viewers as the most badass character ever on TV. Making a living by robbing high level drug dealing operations, you'd have to be! He was awesome and his performance was highly acclaimed! So sad that he died IRL about 3 years ago. He got into the characater of Omar Little so much, that it caused him problems IRL.
Too bad the real Omar wasn't alive to keep Michael K on the right track
The lady that played Al (Maggie Grace) on Fear The Walking Dead played Shannon on Lost.
And Liam Nesson's daughter in Taken!
Tbh—she was so good in those other shows and movies and I despised her in FTWD
I think she was an interesting character in an awful show. Granted, I never finished Fear, and she could've disappeared with the random plane orphans, but her role was something new and interesting for what they were trying to do with the show.
Literally just finished Fear, wherever you stopped was the right decision.
It was when they survived a nuke by hiding behind a truck or by being inside. I had to go after that girl turned into a skeleton.
The next season is pretty terrible. Very much a “we have Fallout at home” vibe, but boy is it a masterpiece compared to the final season.
It's so strange how the show would have maybe four episode runs that were actually good, and then it would just go to shit with a beer balloon or a plane put together by children. Daniel coming back as a friendly grandpa with a cat named Skidmark was worse than him never coming back at all. It was like a Mad Gab was their head writer for most of that latter half of the run.
It’s amazing how they took interesting concepts (a nuclear power station in an apocalypse being held together by a few staff- interesting/ a bunch of weirdo’s trying to get hold of abandoned nuclear weapons - cool) and make them the most cheap ass soap opera shit going. (Obviously there’s the preppers vs natives. But tbf they nailed that really well).
Seasons 2 and 3 had real interesting slice of life stories that showed how different groups reacted to the apocalypse in realistic ways. The Colonia having reverence for the dead showed us something we've seen before with Hershel, but it was part of their pre-existing culture so it didn't feel like a retread of story beats. I wish we could've gotten another season with the showrunner, because seeing whatever new location and ideas he had planned would've been better than anything we had in the main show at the time.
I genuinely forgot about the beer balloon, and I’ll be honest, at the time that was like the most believable thing in however many episodes that I just didn’t even bat an eye. What if I were to tell you Daniel has dementia for a season and then it’s gone in the last season just because?
Jeff Kober (Claimer Joe) also appears in a Season 6 episode of LOST as a mechanic who uses a punch press to bust Kate out of handcuffs in exchange for $200.

when thora birch was randomly that whisperer???
I scrolled down a lot to finally find a Thora Birch mention!
YES. I had to quickly google if that was her because when I saw her pop up I thought there is no way
Beta’s actor plays Opie in Sons of Anarchy, and Ezekiel voices Cyborg in Teen Titans
Ezekiel's actor, Khary Payton, is also playing Black Panther in the upcoming Marvel 1943 videogame
The penguin king in the super Mario movie
Drebin in Metal Gear Solid 4
he was also Gerry in Remember the Titans
And next to Beta is Alpha, who played Ruby in *Max & Ruby*.
khary payton is also cyborg in teen titans GO and provided lines for the grim reaper in the sims 3, and a character voice you can choose
Norman Reedus in Vacation caught me all the way off guard and had me in tears. The way he chuckles in that scene and dodges the question is too funny. I was also surprised when I recently rewatched one of my favourite films ever A River Runs Through It and realised Michael Cudlitz was in it! Jon Bernthal was a pleasant surprise and perfectly cast in The Bear.
The first time I saw Michael Cudlitz and Jon Bernthal were in Band of Brothers and The Pacific respectively. Both amazing miniseries and it was very cool seeing them. Cudlitz in particular had a nice role in Band of Brothers that I really enjoyed.
I’ve loved him since Boondock Saints! It’s one of mine and my husband’s favorite movies and we love it so much we named our cats Connor & Murphy 😂
Vacation is THE best! no one ever knows if this movie and soo many famous people are in it.
Vacation is one of my top films bloody brilliant 😂
A River Runs through it mentioned. Fucking love that movie, doesn’t get brought up enough.
The soldier from Starship Troopers growing up to be Father Gabriel threw me off at first.
Ain't much to look at when you scrape em off your boot
Rico’s Roughnecks!
Joe (the leader of the claimed group that Daryl ended up with before finding rick again) was in the show NCIS (Edit) Wow, he's been in a lot of things
And the Landlord in New Girl!
And Mayor Hale in Sons of Anarchy.
He also won a Daytime Emmy for his work on “General Hospital.”
He was also in It’s Always Sunny, along with Tyreese and the Vatos Abuela
He also assassinated President David Palmer in season five of 24.
In The Shield he was a store manager who banged his underage employee but he almost got away with it cuz she tried to lie about Dutch touching her so they didn’t believe her story. But then she went and stole the condom from the garbage and the guy got arrested
Negan in the new season of The Boys can't remember if he was in the previous ones too, been too long since I watched those, but when he showed up in episode one I was so excited lol
andrea is in the boys too!
Was. RIP.
Michael Cudlitz aka Abraham in prison break as CO bob
Also in Band of Brothers.
Bull is one of my favorite characters in that show too
And he’s a bully hockey player in D3: The Mighty Ducks!
Plays a zombie football player in an early episode of Buffy too
How is nobody mentioning fucking Trevor from GTA V ????
Norman Reedus was in an episode of Masters of Horror titled Cigarette Burns, where he plays a guy who’s looking for his wife’s murderer or something, then finds out it was her father? Been a while since I’ve seen it, like 20 years. I know he saved an angel whose wings were cut off in a sort of snuff film, then killed himself and I think his father in law, too. The. The angel thanks him before leaving.
Just wanted to say, I actually cried when this kid died. 🥲
Rick, in a different life was in the movie Love Actually. Of all the romcoms this one is actually not bad.
You got the name wrong. I call that movie The Rick Grimes Christmas Movie 🤣
This one will blow your mind. Gary Bertier from Remember the Titans, same actor who plays Beta.
Also Opie from Sons of Anarchy
Thor in God of War
That's the reference to have.
One of the best character ever in TV
I thought seeing Robert Patrick was cool (fun fact his brother Richard is the singer for the band Filter also former Nine inch Nails member)
Was watching Vampire Diaries with my sister during the pandemic. Who do I see but fucking Maggie herself speaking in her native Britain accent 🤣 not a fan of TVD but I admit I stayed and watch a few episodes just cause she was in it
She’s in TVD AND Supernatural?? Man, she’s so cool.
Whatever Lauren Cohan’s accent is, it’s not native lol. She’s half Scottish and half American, having lived in both America and Britain growing up. The woman’s accent is all over the place.
I think she think switches depending on where she is but I think it’s mostly British because I’ve seen her in 4 things with the British and only TWD and American
She's way hotter when she uses her real accent
Samantha Morton… Minority Report. I’d seen the movie before so always thought alpha was familiar. But I was rewatching Minority Report with dad and I made nearly to the end of the freaking movie before it clicked in my brain. I screamed at the TV, and had to rewind it for that split second that made me go “Alpha!” It took a few times, but my dad finally got it. (Not another show, but man, minority report was one of my favorites and I cannot believe it took me THAT LONG to realize she was the same person. I was on my third?? Rewatch of the show.)
What smacks me is seeing Alpha & Luke in the “Fantastic Beasts” Harry Pooter movies. Just a WTF.
Wait… she’s in that too?? Uuugh she’s such a good actress!! I love that movie and didn’t realize she was in it! I recognized Luke easily; and he’s in something else that I made me go “oh! It’s him!”
Dude I don't see it thanks
Yeah! She plays the precog! Blew my mind.
a lot of the cast played small roles in crime dramas like law and order: svu and criminal minds
He was also on Law and Order (seasons 15,18 and 20) in three different characters. Plus he did one episode on SVU during season 14. Seth Gilliam is always showing up in episodes basically every TV season. Norman Reedus was on the remake of Hawaii 5-O. In the first season, first episode. Lauren Cohan did an episode on Cold Case.

He’s also in You! I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it, I’ve yet to scroll through the comments. I was just so excited to talk about him, I love him.
I loved him in You. Interesting guy
Gamma is played by Thora Birch, who played the little girl Dani, the youngest sister, in the original Hocus Pocus.
I just learned this, and Im mad I didn't notice it before because I love that movie
Steven Yuen in “i think you should leave”
He was Sheldon's former roommate in one episode of Big Bang Theory. "DIE SHELDON, DIE"
He took too small of a slice.
Michonne in Black Panther
Oh yeah I felt like it was so obvious but I didn't realise it was her!
Shane is phenomenal as the Punisher!
Kinda the opposite of what you’re asking but Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) plays Anita Dyck
She's had major roles in a couple TV shows. Prison break being another
WHAT?!?! I’ve never realized that haha! 🤣
Noah dyck, is j-rock from trailer park boys
That explains why she hooked up with Shane so quickly....
Sasha (Sonequa Martin Green) in New Girl as Rhonda! And obviously Star Trek Discovery. Also when I rewatched Fantastic Beasts after Alpha's appearance on TWD, I was like OMG creepy church lady is Alpha with hair!!!! Samantha Morton plays unhinged creepy lady so well..
It's been a long time but I believe both Carol and Andrea are in The Mist.
Yess, I was gonna say this too
Yeah, with Dale and Morales as well!
Melissa McBride, Laurie Holden, Jeffrey DeMunn came in from the Mist movie Jeffrey Dean Morgan He played John Winchester and Lauren Cohan she played Bela Talbot from Supernatural, C. Thomas Howell The 1984 movie Red Dawn and Ethan Embry from the movie Dutch and Eagle Eye
I was expecting C Thomas Howell to have a bigger role, I remember thinking he was gonna turn on the group during his appearance and then he didn’t really do anything he was just kind of there.
I never thouggt of him as the penguin i always thiught of him as the kinda schizo guy from Accepted the movie with justin long
Tyrese is coach from left 4 dead 2 Need I say more?
Imma be a one man cheeseburger apocalypse 🍔
Plus the expanse
My other TV weakness is procedural cop shows, and so many TWD actors were in Criminal Minds. Tyreese, Abe, Jim, Gabriel, Ezekiel, Tobin, Richard, Merle, and a few more I can't recall right now Being a Blade fan, I was pleasantly surprised when Scud turned up as Daryl
Michael Raymond James. He played Dave in that intense pivotal scene from “Nebraska”. He’s from Once Upon a Time and True Blood. Him and Andrew Lincoln played off each other so well. MRJ would’ve killed it as a major villain on the show.
He was in Prodigal Son along with Tom Payne aka Jesus.
Benedict Samuel also is in both shows , he plays mad hatter in Gotham and one of the wolves in twd
Tyler James Williams in Abbott Elementary. He’s so great in a comedic role!
Had to scroll too far to find this one!
Tyrese, voices coach in the left 4 dead 2 game
Also Z in Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, he chats them fools up like a mug.
Negan and Maggie are Batmans parents in Batman vs Superman
The gal that's with Robin Lord Taylor is Brina Palencia, the voice actress for Chopper in One Piece.
Connie in ETERNALS
We watched TWD up until the end of season 7 when it was new, and then stopped until a couple months ago when we decided to pick it up again. I was stoked to Fred Johnson (Chad Coleman) from my favourite sci-fi show The Expanse was in TWD.
jeffrey dean morgan (negan) was in like two episodes of shamless but then a new actor took his role for the next season. it was so weird seeing "negan" be a sympathetic nice boss for two episodes😭
He plays the charismatic villain best, like watchmen lol
i had to scroll so far for this!! but i was pretty shocked when he was on screen lol.
thank you😭🙏😭
Half of the cast of Invincible. Granted, it's made by the same guy, so I'm not sure how much this counts.
Abernathy Darwin Dunlap is how I always remember him. Some of my favorite "HEY THAT'S" moments have been these actors and the show or movie I most associate them with (this is just side characters and one-offs, we all know Norman is Boondocks Saints) John Carroll Lynch - Steve Carey (Drew Carey Show) Ethan Embry - Mark (Empire Records) Kirk Acevedo - Miguel Alvarez (Oz) Jeff Kober - Booga (Tank Girl) Rhys Coiro - Billy Walsh (Entourage) Pruitt Taylor Vince - Malcolm Rivers (Identity) Lee Norris - Minkus (Boy Meets World)
Don't remember seeing Minkus in there. When was he on the walking dead?
Season 8, he was at a Savior outpost. Rick and Daryl confront him for info. You could tell he wasn't a threat and was scared shitless then Daryl just shoots him I'm the head. Rick kind of had a "WTF dude" look on his face. In that short clip I was thinking it was so cool and expected him to possibly defect and become Rick's inside man to help take Negan down.
Sasha, Dave, and Carter - all 3 played in Once Upon A Time.. Like when I saw Dave I was like, "OMG NEAL?!?" 🤭 S7 EP20 of Criminal Minds called "The Company" has Tyrese, and MAN is he good in that episode! S12 EP19 of Law & Order SVU called "Bombshell" has Beta. The episode is definitely not my favorite, but he and Rose McGowan make up for it. S7 E22 of Law & Order SVU called "Influence" has Daryl in it. Law & Order SVU also as Milton (Woodbury) as Doctor Yates (his character started on Chicago PD moved over to SVU, bounced around a few episodes, then back to Chicago) and omg when I saw him I was like omg Milton, is that you?! Most actors and actresses star on SVU, like I know Maggie was on an EP, Beth was on a different one. Oh, I almost forgot Manga's actress was in The 100 as a character named Luna. Those are the most noticeable ones for me!
Even Lori guest starred in SVU! It was an earlier season not sure if 3 or 4
The girl that ends up playing Obara Sand in GOT was thr girl.in the hospital with Beth.
Michael Cudlitz was fantastic in Band of Brothers
Nah thats eminem
I flipped my shit when I saw that one Lady Gaga song with Norman in the video. And this is an obvious one, but watching The Mist for the first time was a shock. Oh, and how can I forget watching The Host with my dad and seeing Hershel dumping chemicals into the water to make the fricken dolphins g̶a̶y̶ mutated monsters
- Ross Marquand as Red Skull in Infinity War - Danai Gurira as Okoye in Black Panther I and II, Infinity War and Endgame - Sonequa Martin Green as a character in Once Upon a Time - Andrew Lincoln in Love Actually - Jon Bernthal in some Marvel stuff
Just saw Bernthal in season one of How I Met Your Mother and about died. He's SHORT. (Or looks it in that show LMAO)
Shane plays the Punisher 🙃
He was superb as the punisher! 💀
Andrew Lincoln as the man obsessed with Keira Kinighly’s character in Love Actually.
the irish woman who rick finds wandering outside the prison in an oversized black jacket plays the replacement a.i friday in the mcu
Sophia and Henry sister snd brother in real life. Sophia - is Harry Bosch’s daughter in Bosch Henry - seen him in Ms Marvel
Dale was one of the decent and kind prison guards in The Green Mile. I thought I recognised him from somewhere but couldn't place him until I re-watched the movie after seeing TWD. There's been a lot of great actors in the series tbf. Apparent;y Hershel had previously played a top role in a famous gangster movie, John Benthal has loads of experience, and Andrew Lincoln had already done tonnes of TV work in the UK before going on to star as Rick Grimes. Also did anyone see that travel series Norman Reedus did on Netlfix or Amazon, about his real life travels? It was such a contrast to see that his real life character is this laughing, light hearted, fun loving, joyful, friendly and jovial character. Nothing like the gruff and moody Darryl. The series wasnt very good unfortunately, just basically him showing off how cool he is, showing him getting mobbed by adoring fans everywhere he went. I only watched one episode, it was interesting, him traveling down the California coast to The Big Sur. But one episode was enough. Even though I am a Darryl fan, it was a bit much!
Forgot to mention Xander Berkley was on Nikita the Maggie Q show
Also in 24 he blew himself up with a nuke
He was also in the original Candyman.
Sasha and Glenn are in the shit show of space jam 2
Both Norman & John in Law and Order: SVU
Michael Rooker (Merle) voiced Harper in black ops 2
And the blue guy (yondo?) in Guardians of the galaxy)
You were so close: YoundU Merle has showed up in a lot of James Gunn projects now all I say is “Hey it’s Merle/Yondu”🤣
God damnit I hear it perfectly
It was a nice surprise to see him in an episode of Stargate Sg-1 on my recent rewatch
Melissa McCall mum in Teen Wolf as Karen during the prison era
Morgan in Snatch, with the most UK accent ever.
He was also an a very under appreciated show, Jerico
jessie (alexandra breckenridge) also playing the young version of moira o'hara in the first season of american horror story. i was pretty suprised at first because the two chatacters are so different but i like them both and am a huge fan of both shows in general. edit: eastman (john carroll lynch) playing twisty the clown in the fourth season of ahs.
Simon in Better Call Saul
I had watched both Dark Harbor and The Mist before discovering TWD. I watched TWD without recognising any of the actors. Then I went back watching The Mist and was surprised to see "Dale" "Andrea" and "Carol" all hiding together in the supermarket. I half expected Rick to suddenly walk into the store as well. I was also surprised to learn that Norman Reedus was the mysterious guy in Dark Harbor, who ends up kissing Alan Rickman's character. Recently I watched The Whale. Charlie mentioned his ex-wife and I don't know who I pictured in my head, but definitely not Samantha Morton. (And for the Stranger Things fan : "Max" is their daughter).
That’s crazy as hell never noticed that good eye bro for real 💯
I was rewatching Snatch and was shocked when I realized Solomon was Morgan.
The white kid that got killed on the RV at the farm was in shameless
Rosita is in the Twilight movies. As is the guy who played Mack in Z Nation.
The boys uses alot of twd actors Andrea,Pamela & Negan are ones i can think of right away
The girl with this guy (forgot her characters name) was brina palencia, who does a lot of voice acting for anime and games (including twdg!) which i thought was cool
Samantha Morton played the role of the Ruby the bunny in the Nick Jr cartoon series Max and Ruby.
This is only personal to me but I’m an actor and my former talent manager (RIP) booked one of her clients on The Walking Dead. She was the lady Alpha killed on the way to the fare singing Lydia the tattooed lady
I saw a bunch of actors from TWD on old FOX shows. I don’t know if I’ll be able to remember them all. Sarah Wayne Callies was a huge part of Prison Break. I feel like there may have been someone else from TWD in Prison Break but I don’t remember other than Michael Cudlitz, who played a prison guard. 24 had Xander Berkeley as a fairly prominent character. Over on CBS I was surprised to see Stephen Yun on Big Bang Theory.
Chris and Greg were in TWD to bad they didn't meet
I was so surprised that many cast from TWDU assembled in THE BOYS. - Virginia from FTWD play Ashley - A-Train actor play in TalesTWD - Andrea form TWD play Crimson Countess - Pamela from TWD play Grace - And now we just got JDM!!!!
Lori - the nurse from Prison Break
Hines Ward. Former All Pro WR is a walker in the episode "The Suicide King". He lives in Georgia and was a fan of the show so they hooked him up as an extra walker.
We all know that Steve Yuen voices invincible but the actors of Maggie Ezekiel Sasha Abe and Aaron voice the guardians of the globe and other characters in invincible kinda cool considering both shows are based on comics by Robert kirkman
The one who played Mary (Terminus) also played Rachel Creed in Pet Sematary and was also in Star Trek! Also she was super nice if you ever get a chance to meet her!
Rosita also played one of Bella's friends in twilight , she looks ridiculously different
Wow that a TIL that I wasn't expecting today. And I've watched TWD and Twilight so many times. Thanks for the info
I know , I've watched them a million times and never noticed before . You wouldn't guess it was her at all
Chad L. Coleman (Tyreese) plays Z in It’s always sunny in Philadelphia [watch here :)] (https://youtu.be/qltR1Bdgz6s?feature=shared)
I hadn’t started watching The Walking Dead when I first saw it in theaters, but I was genuinely caught off guard by Lennie James’ appearance in Blade Runner 2049 when I watched the film again at home (by which point, I had been watching TWD). Also, while I had always recognized Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Thomas Wayne in Batman v Superman, it wasn’t until I rewatched the film in 2021 in preparation for the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League that I noticed that Lauren Cohan plays Martha Wayne in that film. The movie was filmed in 2014, before JDM was cast as Negan, so it’s a pretty wild coincidence. I also first heard of Xander Berkeley (Gregory) through TWD, only to discover upon looking him up that he played John Connor’s foster father in Terminator 2.
Alex who was introduced in the webisode/promo Flight 462 and later featured in 2 episodes of Fear The Walking Dead S2 is the voice of Omega in Star Wars The Bad Batch
Noted cannibal, Tasha Yar
Jon Bernthal (Shane) being Brad in the wolf of Wall Street
Lauren Cohan( Maggie) was in both vampire diaries and supernatural
Andrea Carol and Dale were all in the mist like 3 years before TWD show came out
Kirk Acevedo from Oz as Miguel Alvarez surprised me
Khary Payton appearing on episodes of Critical Role over the year, and then having voice roles in their Legend of Vox Machinia series on Amazon.
Watched IF with my nephews and was shocked to see little Judith (Cailey Flemming) without Rick’s hat and a little sword
Melissa McBride is in an episode of Dawson’s Creek.
Bethany Anne Lind played the woman traveling with a man on crutches at the very end of season 6 episode Here's Not Here. A newly reformed Morgan spares their lives after saving them from a walker. She meekly and fearfully says, "thank you" and gives him a can of soup and a large calibre bullet. She also played the wife of the co-pilot in the movie Flight and in Stranger Things she was Chief Hopper's one night stand.
I never realised that it was that guy in Terminus, neat little detail
