Melissa McBride as Carol Peletier

The Walking Dead Season 2 Characters Carol

While Melissa McBride's acting career began twenty years ago, she has spent the last ten years working primarily behind the camera as a commercial Casting Director in her hometown of Atlanta, GA.

Prior to joining the cast of The Walking Dead, Melissa was perhaps best known for her brief, yet compelling performance as the 'woman with kids at home' in The Mist. Her earlier film credits include Lost Crossing and The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys. For television, McBride appeared in Dawson's Creek, Walker Texas Ranger, Profiler and American Gothic, as well as numerous commercials and the television movies Living Proof and Pirates of Silicon Valley.

In addition to on camera work, Melissa also enjoys voice acting. She was the voice-double for Anne Bancroft in the 2008 animated feature Delgo. McBride said that mimicking the voice of the great actress, who approved her work, was an honor and undoubtedly her most challenging role to date.
