20 Things You Totally Missed In The Walking Dead

19. Johnny Depp's Head-Only Cameo

In season six, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the gang try to prove the death of Gregory (Xander Berkeley) in order to secure the release of a resident of Hilltop. Only, they don't actually kill Gregory, and decide to trick Negan's men by giving them a random severed head and claiming it was the cowardly Hilltop leader.

Of the heads that Rick choses from, one looks strikingly familiar on closer inspection, because director and make-up master Greg Nicotero based it on actor Johnny Depp. So, technically (and rather morbidly) Johnny Depp is actually in the show.

It should also be noted that once the scenes were shot, Norman Reedus kept saying he wanted to keep the head. Whether he did or not hasn't been confirmed.
