Although Andrew Lincoln officially left The Walking Dead in season 9, he is back once again to reprise his role as Rick Grimes - a former sheriff's deputy who became the leader of a band of survivors after the zombie outbreak. First rising to prominence after playing Edgar "Egg" Cook in the British sitcom, This Life, Lincoln found his niche in the drama genre, starring in several book-to-screen adaptations, such as The Woman In White (where he played Walter Hartright), The Cantebury Tales (Alan King), and Wuthering Heights (Edgar Linton).
