Norman Reedus

It’s difficult to picture Redneck Daryl from The Walking Dead as a part-time artist with a son with supermodel Helena Christensen, but that’s the eye-popping contrast between actor Norman Reedus and his straw-chewing alter-ego.
Daryl Dixon was never meant to be a recurring character on The Walking Dead . It was only when Reedus started to breathe life into the character that Frank Darabont and his team began to think of giving Daryl second season legs.
At first, Daryl just looked like another Bible belt meathead. Hot-tempered and scowling, he didn’t seem much better than his brutish and racist – and now one-handed – brother, Merle. But season two developed Daryl into a much more textured character, whom we learned was bullied by his older brother and had him displaying previously hidden heroic tendencies in his search for little Sophia.
What should he do next? Well, hopefully he’ll stay shooting that crossbow of his for a good while yet. And it would be good to get Merle back (and not a hallucination this time, thanks) to butt heads with his younger brother.
