Cameos In Walking Dead That You Probably Missed

The Walking Dead boasts one of the biggest casts on TV. As a result, it's enjoyed a whole lot of unique cameos - so many, in fact, that you might not have noticed most of them. These are the most surprising, interesting, and just plain strange cameos on The Walking Dead.

Hines Ward was among the NFL's most athletic, dazzling, and accomplished wide receivers in the late 1990s and 2000s. In his 14-season career, spent entirely with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he managed 1,000 successful receptions, placing him high on the all-time list, which led to four Pro Bowl selections and two Super Bowl rings.

Ward was drafted out of the University of Georgia, where one of his teammates on the gridiron was running back IronE Singleton, who pursued acting upon graduation.

Singleton found success in Hollywood, landing roles in movies like Remember the Titans, The Blind Side, and The Longest Yard – and eventually, on the first three seasons of The Walking Dead, in which he portrayed zombie apocalypse survivor Theodore Douglas, AKA T-Dog.

In 2012, Ward utilized his connection to Singleton to land a small role on The Walking Dead as well, which was then shooting in his home state of Georgia.

When the show's location moved to a semi-abandoned prison, Ward got to play one of the zombies who pounce on the main survivor characters. Ward spent two hours in makeup to be transformed into a walker, where an artist painted his old jersey number, 86, onto the back of his head. Even as a stumbling zombie, we wouldn't want to go up against him.
