On The Walking Dead: Coleman portrayed the hammer-wielding gentle giant Tyreese starting in the show's third season up until he was bitten by a walker during a moment of emotional inattention in the show's fifth season, which led to blood loss, hallucinations and his ultimate exit from the series.

What He's Been Up To: Like Tyler James Williams, it hasn't been too long since Coleman was written off the series, but the actor already has a leading role on another series on the way. This December, you'll be able to see him alongside Thomas Jane in SyFy's The Expanse, which sees Jane as a future detective caught up in a conspiracy that stretches across our own colonized solar system.

Aside from that, he also has a spot in the modern retelling of Roots, which will be simulcast next year by Lifetime, History and A&E, and features a cast including Laurence Fishburne, Anna Paquin and Forest Whitaker.
