He wasn't the only modern-day star to catch a break on the show, as The Hobbit and Sherlock actor Martin Freeman - who accidentally drank Lincoln's character's urine from a can, after mistaking it for beer - was also a co-star. Lincoln starred in other shows such as The Canterbury Tales, Wuthering Heights, Teachers, and just before he signed on for The Walking Dead, he featured in Strike Back.
