Happy Birthday! Andrew Lincoln Turns 42 Today

Happy birthday, Sheriff! Andrew Lincoln celebrates his 42nd birthday today!

Lincoln, of course known to our geek community as the one and only Rick Grimes of The Walking Dead, has 40 acting credits on his IMDb page aside from AMC's zombie drama, including 2003's Love Actually, where he couldn't have been much more different from the fearless character he plays on The Walking Dead. Speaks to his acting chops, I'd say!

Prior to fame, the English actor attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, where he changed his last name from Clutterbuck to Lincoln. One can only wonder how different the world would be if we were reading news about Andrew Clutterbuck's Rick Grimes rather than Andrew Lincoln's!

Happy birthday Andrew Lincoln! Here's to hoping to you make it out of The Walking Dead's sixth season alive!
