12 Best Actors In The Walking Dead

9. Michael Cudlitz

Michael Cudlitz may be a controversial inclusion given the fact that his character hasn't really had a lot to work with, but even so, he could be a fantastic part of the show if the writers finally decide to give him something substantial to work with. He's a hulking military man with a tragic past, led halfway across the country based on a lie. That's a powerful backstory, and Cudlitz' reactions to each of the moments were brilliant. He just hasn't been given a major, current role to play in the show, and now he's being restricted to a trundling car journey with Sasha. His leap from the car to massacre a handful of walkers and the jokes he makes either side of it are great, but Cudlitz NEEDS to be given material to work with because he really is excellent.
