Andrew Lincoln to Lead ITV Thriller 'Cold Water'
Many American viewers likely only know the name Andrew Lincoln because of AMC's megapopular zombie franchise The Walking Dead (possibly with a dash of the "To me, you are perfect" scene from Love Actually on top). Lincoln starred as gritty, long-suffering sheriff Rick Grimes on the flagship series for nearly a decade, before popping up in its limited-run spin-off The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live earlier this year
Anglophiles, however, are already aware that Lincoln had a long history on British television well before he ever became a genre star across the pond, appearing in properties as diverse as Teachers, Afterlife, and Wuthering Heights. And the actor is finally set to return to his roots with a starring role in the upcoming ITV thriller Cold Water.
The drama, which will mark Lincoln's first appearance on British TV since 2010's Strike Back, is set in the fictional Scottish village of Coldwater and follows the story of a repressed man undergoing an identity crisis.
