Sarah Wayne Callies
In 2010, Callies was cast in the major role of Lori Grimes on the AMC horror/drama series "The Walking Dead", based on the comic-book series of the same name. The drama became the highest-rated show in that cable channel's history. Callies played the role from the show's start until season three. Grimes, her family, and friends are forced to fight relentless evil in the form of both flesh-eating zombies and the few surviving humans. Callies convinced the show's writers to kill her character because that is what had occurred in the comic-book version.
