Extracts of the cast’s tributes to Andy
“For me, he was an anchor, as a leader must be, but he was also someone who never failed to effortlessly earn my deepest respect. […] Whatever egg he hatched from, we need to get to cloning it because the world would be so much better with more Andy Lincoln in it!” - Danai Gurira
“I can honestly say Andy’s made me a better actor, a better friend, and even a better father because I see how hard he works at keeping his family life and his work life.” - Norman Reedus
“He is the patriarch of The Walking Deadfamily and he leads with his heart, passion, excitement, and love… as well as some really bad singing.There is no replacing him. Nor will we try. I love the man. Not only as an actor and an inspiration, but most importantly as a friend. I will miss him every single day, I DO miss him every single day. […] Andy put his blood, sweat, tears into The Walking Dead. Literally. And now? He gets to do that very thing with his beautiful family. A family that shared their husband, father, and son with us for almost a decade. I adore Andy’s family, and really, I can’t thank them enough for letting us borrow him for as long as we did. But most importantly, I am so thankful for Andy, the irreplaceable brother. It’s been an honor and a privilege.” - Jeffrey Dean Morgan
“It has been one of the major joys of my career to have worked with Andy and an even greater joy and privilege to call him my friend” - Lennie James
“I always considered Andy my “TV dad.” He was always someone that I looked up to with the utmost respect because of how dedicated he was to his role. […] There were times on the show that I felt unmotivated or exhausted, but then I looked to Andy and saw how much work he put into his role and became inspired to push forward.” - Chandler Riggs
“I love Andy. I can’t think of another actor in my life that has had more of an impact on me, and that is more important to me. […] I would not be the man I am, I wouldn’t be the father I am, I wouldn’t be the husband I am, and I surely wouldn’t be the actor I am if it wasn’t for my time with him.” - Jon Bernthal
“You did teach me — and probably lots of us on the show – something, though: what it means to not be a star. To be the first one to set, the hardest worker, to never complain. To give your best work off-camera for someone else. It brings me back to the yearbook schmaltz: thanks for making me a better person.” - Sarah Wayne Callies
“He is a brilliant actor, a great man, and I know he will cringe when he reads all this because he is also one of the most modest people I have ever met. I am privileged to know him and to have worked with him.” - David Morissey
“If you ask me, and I get this question quite often, “Who’s the best actor you’ve ever worked with?” I answer with a fiery quickness, “Oh.Well, that’s Andrew Lincoln.” […] He’s our family. He led us through, he established a culture of excellence and togetherness, he gave us an example. I’ll always be grateful to him.” - Sonequa Martin Greene
