20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About The Walking Dead

18. Abraham Was Fated To Appear On The Show

It's possible you might not recognise Michael Cudlitz when he's in The Walking Dead, since he's sporting the iconic handlebar moustache and ginger hair of his character Abraham. In real life he looks very different, sporting a more standard colour and lack of facial hair in his previous TV performances. One of which was on the underrated cop drama Southland, where he played LAPD veteran John Cooper. The character is a total 180 from Abraham for the most part, a repressed and conflicted cop who's afraid to confront his sexuality. Something they had in common, though? He and his partner were nicknamed €œThe Walking Dead€ in the last season of Southland. Nostradamus, eat your heart out!
