Everything you need to know about your favourite zombie apocalypse survivor.

Lauren Cohan is one of the many stars to be fired into the public eye by The Walking Dead, having played the role of strong-willed Maggie Greene since Season 2 and has matured into a diplomatic, rational leader within the group. The 33-year-old was launched to stardom by The Walking Dead, but she boasts a wealth of experience on the small screen, with several huge US 'box-set' TV shows under her belt. Cohan featured in The Vampire Diaries and Chuck, with guest appearances all across the networks on CSI: NY, Law & Order, and Modern Family. She's also held parts in films, including: Casanova and Death Race 2 as well as National Lampoon's Van Wilder: The Rise Of Taj, though the latter production only returned $2.3 million, and earned a meager 7% on Rotten Tomatoes. Cohan has just one project lined up for now, a role in a thriller called The Boy with William Brent Bell, director of The Devil Inside and Stay Alive pencilled in to lead the project. But like many of her co-stars, The Walking Dead is big enough to warrant full dedication, and Maggie will be back to fighting form in Season 6 after a tragic fifth season for the character. So while we count down the many days left before the next batch of zombie-hunting carnage, let's take a look at 10 things you didn't know about Lauren Cohan.
