He claims to have been suspicious of Atlanta and southern clichés when he started to startThe dead who walkbut has since come to love the city. He and his family always spend almost half of the year in rural England, not far from the bath, southwestern London, where he grew up.

The youngest of two brothers, Lincoln took golf and cricket like a young boy, but demonstrated that he insists, no great sports prowess. ("He always says that he is not good or not to play well, but he does not play good golf, it's better than most" players of most people, "said the producer Greg Nicotero.) He welcomed to act because, in his words, "way of meeting girls. Why would you start something where you need to make makeup? "

His father, a civil engineer, mocked the notion of Lincoln becoming an actor. But he told his son that if he could enter the five of the five elite schools in England, he would support his ambition. Lincoln has accomplished this feat and settled on Rada, move to London when he was 17 years old. He met his wife, Gael Anderson, daughter of Jethro Tull Frontman Ian Anderson, on all British show teachers. She was a thorny-haired production assistant who refused to make him a cup of tea.

"I was like" it's bullshit. "But I could not get it out of my head." Two children later, the wedding goes hard, and Lincoln can rely on his own experiences as a father to share the emotional life of Rick Grimes: "You pull yourself Always crazy. I mean, it would be crazy if you do not shoot who you are. "

After his parks, he stands and stretches, twisting his shoulders and turn his core. It is naturally skinny, a classic ectomorph, and it's easy to see how it is fighting, as it has done before season 4. It is a natural distance runner who will make five miles in Georgia. But that year, he hired a coach, who ordered him to end the distance running, add quick sets with free weights and cut carbohydrates and sugars. He hated the dietary routine. "Why would you like to do that to yourself, man?" he asks.

TurningThe dead who walk It is in itself an exhausting workout, says Lincoln. There is mud, heat, moisture, insects - and distribution remains defined for all this. Dead actor Steven Yeun agrees: "We work these hours difficult in the sun. Everyone should break down; We should have divas, these Hollywood clichés, "says Yeun. "But no, there is Andy, and he show and pushing it more difficult than anyone. He is the culture of the show. I mean, if your guy # 1 is not a diva, so who can be?"

We go to an Italian restaurant, where Lincoln scarf Calamari fries and a salad, and wins a coke food - he did not have a drink in five years - and talks about the waitress of his Rick Grimes. He shakes his head. "I know it's bizarre. I want to betray them if I do not speak like they know me. That's how I work. My wife and children are like" you will do that for seven or eight months? "It's also his way of keeping his sharp dialect." I have enough zombies to fear, you know? There is an apocalypse to treat. "He begins to laugh and take another swick from his diet coke.

Lincoln calls the scenario of this season the "most scary" to date. "You never know who will die," he says. "And that's true this season. I mean, it's already intense enough, and now it works inHeart of darkness territory. Yes! I may have gone. "I look at him. Could the hero really die in the final?

He gets up and smiles. You can already hear the outcoolery of Fanboy if this happens. Lincoln, meanwhile, is not the type to stay there. He will just make the question and take another swing.
