Norman Reedus was far from an unknown when he joined the cast of The Walking Dead, having had a cult hit with The Boondock Saints and its sequel, but his appearance as Daryl Dixon on the show has taken him to a new level. In short, Reedus is arguably the most popular, high profile actor on the show - and Daryl wasn't even in the original Walking Dead comics! Perhaps Reedus would be better suited to playing a Terminator, however. The actor actually has a titanium eye socket, as well as multiple screws in his nose (four in total) stemming from a car accident in 2005 in Berlin, Germany following a concert. The concert in question? R.E.M. Shiny Happy People seems worlds removed from The Walking Dead.
