20 things you didn’t know about the Walking Dead (With Pictures)

12. Rick, The Governor, And Maggie Are All British In Real Life

There’s some very talented actors from the U.K. that are becoming some of the most prominent faces in American cinema, and the television scene isn’t exempt from this.

You of course wouldn’t be able to tell from looking at them, but Andrew Lincoln (Rick), Lauren Cohan (Maggie), and David Morrisey (The Governor) are all natives of the U.K. and speak with British accents offset. Due to the show’s setting, their characters all communicate with thick Southern American accents, which suddenly make each of their performances that much more impressive.
