WHERE ARE THEY NOW? 27 actors who have been killed off 'The Walking Dead'
Some of the core cast may have left the show, but they’re doing big things.
Gene Page/AMC
Over the course of seven seasons,”The Walking Dead” has said goodbye to tons of walkers and what seems like hundreds of minor characters. But they’ve also bid farewell to many of the main cast.
After Carl’s death, only four are left standing from the first season. With the way things have been going, there’s no telling how long that will last.
“The Walking Dead” actors have gone on to become DC Comics’ villains, Marvel antiheroes, and star in Hollywood blockbusters. Here’s what the cast are up to now.
Carol’s daughter Sophia died in season two after getting lost in the woods.
This was a shock because Sophia is still alive in the comics.
Netflix
After searching for her all season, it was heartbreaking to find Sofia was locked up at the farm where everyone was staying all along.
Since her days of being locked up in a barn, Madison Lintz has appeared on Amazon’s murder mystery “Bosch.”
Lintz all grown up.

She also acted in “Parental Guidance” alongside Billy Crystal and Bette Midler and took a small role in a “Nashville” episode. Lintz will appear in horror movie “Tell Me Your Name” this year.
Her younger brother, Macsen, currently plays Henry on “The Walking Dead.”
Dale was also killed off in season two.
Dale had a lot of great facial expressions.
AMC
You might have recognized him from his earlier work in “The Green Mile” and “The Shawshank Redemption.”
Jeffrey DeMunn has had small roles on several shows including “Mob City” and HBO’s “Divorce.”

In addition to those shows he’s also taken on the part of Chuck Rhoades, Sr. on the new Showtime series “Billions.” He appeared in 2017’s movie “Marshall,” as well.
Rick killed his old police partner Shane Walsh at the end of season two.
Shane was originally brought on to try out for the role of Rick on “The Walking Dead.”
Gene Page/AMC
Shane died early in the comic as well, so Bernthal was more than prepared to have a short-lived run on the show.
“I fought very hard for the role of Shane, and they were clear with me that I was fighting to play a character that wasn’t going to last too long on the show,” Bernthal said in an interview with Starcasm. “But that was all right with me. That was a gift, because I could really craft a beginning, middle, and end for Shane.”
Bernthal has had a lot of success since “The Walking Dead.” He recently starred on Netflix’s Marvel spin-off series “The Punisher.”

Bernthal also worked alongside his former cast mate, Jeffrey DeMunn, in “Mob City,” and landed roles in hit movies “Fury” and “Sicario.”
Next, Bernthal has several movies out in 2018 including “Widows,” “First Man,” and “Stingray.”
Noah Emmerich played the brief, but important role of Dr. Edwin Jenner at the CDC in season one.
Jenner took his own life when he blew up the CDC in the season one finale.
AMC
He “opted out” after he couldn’t find a cure to the zombie virus. He told Rick that everyone is infected and will turn once they die.
If he looks familiar, it’s because he’s Agent Stan Beeman on “The Americans.”
Emmerich went from the CDC to the FBI.
Patrick Harbron/FX
First, Emmerich couldn’t find a cure for the zombie apocalypse and now he can’t even find Russian spies right under his nose next door. Poor guy.
Sarah Wayne Callies played Lori Grimes, who met her fateful end in season three after giving birth to Judith.
Rick’s wife was around until season three.
Gene Page/AMC
She wiped her hands clean of the show after departing. When asked if she kept up with “TWD” or the other characters’ fates, she revealed that she never had to begin with.
“I never watched the show, actually. I’d watch scenes here and there, primarily of other people’s work, but I don’t get a whole lot of watching myself, and if anything, it’s not really good for my head,” Callies said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Since her days of playing Rick’s not-so faithful wife, she landed a lead role on USA’s “Colony” and reprised her role on the “Prison Break” limited series.

“Prison Break” returned to Fox for nine episodes April 2017. Callies also starred in the film “Into the Storm.”
Daryl’s long-lost brother Merle Dixon was shot in the chest by The Governor in season three.

Daryl heartbreakingly found his brother turned into a walker.
Since then, Michael Rooker went to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. You may recognize him as the “Guardians of the Galaxy” antihero, Yondu Udonta.
Yondu became a fan favorite after “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.”
Marvel
Rooker was a scene-stealer in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” when he said, “I’m Mary Poppins, y’all.” It inspired a lot of cosplay mashups at fan conventions.
Laurie Holden’s character, Andrea Harrison, died in the season three finale.
Andrea shot herself before she turned into a walker after getting bit.
Gene Page / AMC
At the time, no one was expecting Andrea to go since she was still alive in the comics.
Holden has a recurring role in “The Americans” in its fifth and sixth seasons.

Before that she held minor roles in “Major Crimes” and “Chicago Fire” as well as a part in “Dumb and Dumber To.”
Holden has also produced two films, “Honeytrap” for Netflix and “The Time of Their Lives” for Universal. In 2018, she’ll star in “Dragged Across Concrete” with Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn.
Milton was killed by the Governor in front of Andrea in season three.
Milton was a scientist studying the dead at Woodbury.

Milton was just trying to help Andrea. When the Governor found out about his betrayal, he was fatally stabbed.
Dallas Roberts has been in a string of big movies and TV shows since his departure.

Roberts has been in “Dallas Buyers Club,” “Walk the Line,” CBS’ “The Good Wife,” and “American Crime.”
He’ll star as the lead in Netflix’s upcoming series “Insatiable” about a civil-lawyer-turned-beauty-pageant coach.
Beloved father Hershel was killed by the Governor in season four.
This wasn’t the death we were expecting for Hershel.
Gene Page/AMC
Hershel was decapitated in front of Rick’s crew. It was a pretty upsetting moment for everyone when Hershel’s life came to such a tragic end. Thankfully, the cast and crew at “TWD” made sure Wilson knew just how loved he was before he left.
“On the last day of filming, everyone was wearing suspenders because Hershel wears them and they were applauding when I got there. It was real touching that they cared enough to do something special like that,” Wilson said in an interview with Daily Dead.
Scott Wilson has kept busy with a part in “Damien” and the role of Abel Johnson in Netflix’s “The OA.”

Netflix
Like his old cast mate Madison Lintz, Wilson also earned a spot on “Bosch,” but his biggest role so far has been in Netflix’s “The OA,” which has received a lot of talk since it was released.
He returned to voice his “Walking Dead” character in 2017’s “Robot Chicken” parody special of the AMC series.
The Governor was stabbed by Michonne and shot by his girlfriend, putting a fatal end to David Morrissey’s role on the show.
The Governor went on a rampage in season four.

The Governor was one of the show’s best villains.
Morrissey barely took a break between gigs appearing in “Extant” as Tobias shortly after he wrapped things up with “TWD.”

While working on “Extant” he got to know the villain who’d be torturing Rick and his crew next. Jeffrey Dean Morgan had the lead role on the CBS show.
Morrissey also appeared on “The Missing” and landed the lead role in Amazon’s new show “Britannia.”
Fans said goodbye to Beth in a surprise moment at the end of season five.
Daryl and Rick’s group searched for Beth only for her to wind up dead once they reached her.
Gene Page/AMC
Beth was accidentally shot in the head after she stabbed the leader of another group.
After leaving “The Walking Dead,” Kinney opened up about how hard it is when characters get killed off.
“Even though there are zombies and it’s based on a comic book, it definitely tackles big questions about our existence and what it means to be alive if you’re just surviving. It felt very real,” Kinney told The Cut. “Being isolated in this place with a bunch of actors, and they naturally just become your family after so much time. And then when people are killed off, it feels very real because they go away.”
Emily Kinney has appeared on ABC’s cancelled shows “Conviction” and “Ten Days in the Valley.”
Kinney is a singer and an actress.
ABC
Kinney turned to other TV shows to fill her time between roles. She also had parts in “Masters of Sex,” “The Knick,” and “Arrow” before “Conviction.”
Her singing career is in full swing as well. She recently dropped two new songs, “Back on Love” and “Popsicles” which came out October 2016.
Chad L. Coleman left the show after his character Tyreese was bitten in season five.
Tyreese started hallucinating in season five.

Tyreese died due to complications from blood loss after having his arm amputated because of a walker bite.
Coleman has worked on “Arrow” and is currently on Seth McFarlane’s Fox show “The Orville.”

He also keeps up with a small role as Z on “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”
Robin Lord Taylor played a minor character named Sam who died at the hand of the cannibals in season five.
Sam was seen twice on the show.
AMC/The Walking Dead
Rick ran into Sam in season four of the series before being briefly reunited with him at Terminus in season five. When he and Glenn get stuck in a lineup, Sam is seen next to them before he’s killed by a butcher.
Robin Lord Taylor went on to play one of the main villains on Fox’s hit show “Gotham.”
We think he’s doing all right these days.
Jessica Miglio/FOX
You may not have recognized him without the blonde hair, but Robin Lord Taylor has been scheming and making deals as iconic Batman villain, The Penguin.
He’s also juggling several movies in 2018, including “The Mandela Effect.”
Andrew J. West played leader of the cannibals, Gareth.
Gareth was not a great man.
Gene Page/AMC
Rick brutally killed him in a church after Gareth and his friends ate Bob’s leg.
West went from the leader of Terminus to the grandson of Prince Charming on “Once Upon a Time” in its newest season.
West fought his way through the apocalypse to wind up in a fairy tale for one season.

“Once Upon a Time” will be ending after its seventh season.
He has some movies lined up, including “Tired Lungs” and comedy “Antiquities.”
Noah also said farewell near the end of season five in one of the show’s most gruesome deaths.

Noah got trapped in a revolving door and was eaten alive by walkers. Luckily, the fate of the actor hasn’t been nearly as gloomy.
Tyler James Williams took a role on “Criminal Minds” that led to a larger role on the show’s spin-off “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.”
Tyler James Williams got his start as Chris on “Everybody Hates Chris.”
CBS
He basically plays this team’s Penelope Garcia on the show.
Rick’s love interest, Jessie, died in season six’s mid-season opener.
She was devoured by walkers after her son was taken by the undead.
Netflix
Her short-lived time on “The Walking Dead” made a big impact. She played Rick’s love interest before he moved on to Michonne.
Some were sad and surprised to see her go, but Breckenridge probably wouldn’t have landed her next big gig if she had stayed.
Alexandra Breckenridge landed a role in 2017’s breakout TV series, tear-jerker “This Is Us.”
Yes! They’re the same person.
NBC
Breckenridge plays Sophie, Kevin’s ex-wife, who he has rekindled a romance with. (We like her better with Kevin than Rick.)
Since leaving “TWD” she has also continued to lend her vocals to “Family Guy” in additional voices, which she’s been doing since 2005.
Abraham Ford was the first to lose his life to Negan’s bat Lucille in the season seven premiere.
How we miss Abraham’s witty one-liners.
Gene Page/AMC
One reason he hasn’t done too much since he left “TWD” is because he wasn’t allowed to look for a job until after the episode aired.
“Both Stephen [who plays Glenn] and I weren’t even able to pursue work until last Monday so we’ll have to see what is next,” Cudlitz said in an interview with Mirror Online a week after the season premiere.
Michael Cudlitz recently took on a role in an upcoming TV movie “The Trustee,” but has been spending most of his time making rounds at press events and conferences.

He’s currently working on a thriller “Driven.”
Steven Yeun’s Glenn was also mercilessly killed by Lucille.
The show was teasing Glenn’s death for some time.
Gene Page/AMC
Original cast member Steven Yeun, who played Glenn Rhee, also met his fate during that horrific scene, but according to an interview he gave with GQ it wasn’t too hard to let go of Glenn.
“I wouldn’t say it was hard, but it’s been affecting, to recap everything I’ve been through. It was less about losing that character, per se, and more about all the things I got to experience while playing this character,” he said. “It wasn’t hard to let go of the character. I’m saying that now. But I might be crying tomorrow.”
Unlike Cudlitz, he has a put a bit more on his plate. He was in Netflix’s “Okja” and horror movie “Mayhem,” which has received great reviews from critics.

He’s also kept up with voicing Steve Palchuk in Netflix’s “Trollhunters” and Keith in “Voltron.”
Yeun is wrapping up a few other movies out this year, the animated “Chew” and a mystery called “Burning.”
The old leader of Alexandria, Deanna, landed an ill-timed bite to the side.
There was no coming back from this.
Netflix/AMC
She didn’t go down without a fight. She used her last moments to kill some of the undead as Rick and the group escaped Alexandria from harm.
Tovah Feldshuh has been on the CW’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” since 2015.
Feldshuh went from being a leader in the zombie apocalypse to an overbearing mom.
CW
Feldshuh plays the mother of the main character, Rebecca. You can see her singing on the show here.
Austin Nichols portrayed her son Spencer Monroe, who left the show after his character was gutted by Negan.
Spencer tried to sell Rick out.
Gene Page/AMC
After he met the same end as the comic character he was portraying, Nichols spoke to Entertainment Weekly about what he’s going to miss most.
“First and foremost, I am going to miss the people. Everyone on the show is really a joy to be around. I know everyone says that and people probably say that about every show and movie, but this is really a special show and a really cool vibe around it,” he said.
Nichols jumped from one scary setting to the next. He moved to “Bates Motel.”
He plays Sam Loomis.
A&E
He’ll also be in a movie called “The Iron Orchard” this year.
Sonequa Martin-Green played Sasha who took her life in the season seven finale.
Sasha took a cyanide pill, hoping she would bite Negan as a walker.

Sasha threw Negan off guard when she surprised him as a walker.
Martin-Green later said on the series’ aftershow that her death felt “right and complete.”
“It was quite poetic when I found out how it was going to happen. It was the perfect culmination of [Sasha’s] life. I felt like all of my roads had led to that moment of getting to that place of complete selflessness. It felt perfect,” Martin-Green said. “It was the first time we had ever rooted for a walker but it was also beautiful because the way I saw it is that warrior spirit lives on. Even in death, I was still going to fight because I had realized my purpose: Everything before that had been self-preservation, self-defense mechanisms and basically self-obsession. Over the course of my life as Sasha, it was progressing beyond that to the point where said I now have a greater purpose that’s much bigger than me and that’s for the future and I’m going to do it even in death.”
Martin-Green now plays the lead in CBS’ All-Access series “Star Trek: Discovery.”
Her hair is even shorter for the space show.

The show was renewed in October for a second season.

Kenedy still plays the youngest sibling, but unlike her “Walking Dead” character, Dylan DiMeo is more outspoken and a bit of a prankster.
Juan Gabriel Pareja reprised his role as Morales after seven years only to be killed off one episode later by Daryl.
Morales lived! (For a short time.)
Gene Page/AMC
Fans weren’t happy about Morales’ quick return but the character may have a lasting impact on Rick down the line in season eight.
Pareja appeared on an episode of “Chicago Med.”

Riggs is just getting started. He recently finished up two films, “Inherit the Viper” and “Only.”
The first film also stars Josh Hartnett and will feature Riggs with a mohawk he debuted on social media.
“I did one in December where I had a mullet. It was really, really gross, but it was called, ‘Inherit the Viper,’ and I play this white-trash, redneck kind of kid,” Riggs told press on a conference call for “The Walking Dead” in February. “The other movie that I did, it’s called ‘Only,’ I get to play this psychopath, deadly, murderous kind of kid. I’m really, really excited for people to see that one because it’s really cool. It was really fun to shoot.”
Though Riggs has been diving into the Hollywood scene, he’s also considering more television.
“I’ve never really been out in LA for pilot season before so it will be interesting to see how that goes,” Riggs added.
If those two things don’t keep him busy enough, Riggs has also been producing electronic music for about a year and a half under the alias Eclipse. You can listen to some of his work here.
Negan’s Savior leader Gavin got a staff to the neck on the mid-season eight premiere.

Negan wasn’t pleased with Simon after he ordered the junkyard gang dead. He was furious when Simon tried to orchestrate his murder behind his back.
Now, Simon’s living out his days as a walker attached to the main gate outside the Sanctuary.
You won’t have to wait long to see Steven Ogg on TV again.
Steven Ogg also plays Rebus on “Westworld.”
HBO
He’ll be back on HBO for the second season of “Westworld.” Ogg has plenty on his plate afterward.
“Rebus is back in that world. So I’m happy and excited to continue to be in that show,” Ogg told INSIDER. “Then, there’s a space film that I produced and starred in. Just me. It’s just a one man show called ‘Solace,’ which we’ve been hoping to premiere at TIFF [Toronto International Film Festival]. I’m producer, and more of just an actor on it. With these gigs, one never knows what is going to happen to it at the end of the day. It’s been good to go for a while now.”
“Then, [I’m] to be going to New Mexico in a few weeks, which I’m very excited about,” Ogg said of another project. “The producer is Darren Dean, who did ‘Tangerine,’ and ‘The Florida Project.’ I’m enormous fans of those projects.”
Then Ogg will be working on a role where he’ll play a much different character than you usually see him in.
“This amazing woman, writer, director, Ani Simon-Kennedy is doing this film called ‘The Short History of the Long Road,’ a beautiful coming-of-age tale. I get to play a rather kind of Captain Fantastic, Viggo Mortensen dad, raising a daughter, doing the best he can. I’m excited about that, because there’s no muttonchops, there’s no mustache, there’s no psycho, there’s no crazy, there’s life, love, learning, lessons. I’m really excited to do that,” he said. “That’s with Sabrina Carpenter, who I have not worked with, but I look forward to doing that very much.”
“Other than that, ’tis the life of an actor, and you’re just always looking for the next gig,” said Ogg of one more thing he wants to do. “I would love to get back to theater. I’ve been in meetings in London a lot. I’m very, very anxious to get back into just working in the theater.”
