Andrew Lincoln (born Andrew James Clutterbuck; September 14, 1973) is an English actor. His first major role was as the character Egg in the BBC drama This Life (1996–1997). Lincoln later portrayed Simon Casey in the Channel 4 sitcom Teachers (2001–2003), Mark in the Christmas-themed romantic comedy film Love Actually (2003) and Dr. Robert Bridge in the ITV television series Afterlife (2005–2006). Beginning in 2010, Lincoln gained international fame for his portrayal of Rick Grimes, the lead character on the hit AMC post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead. For his portrayal of Rick Grimes, Lincoln won the Saturn Award for Best Actor on Television in 2015 and 2017. He departed the cast of The Walking Dead in 2018, but reprised the role of Rick in the 2024 Walking Dead Spin-off, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.
BLOOD & ROSES is a modern prestige crime drama set in the sprawling fictional coastal metropolis of Verona City — a place of gleaming high-rises looming over crumbling neighbourhoods, where old money and street power share the same dark handshake. Two criminal organisations — the Montano family and the Capello family — have divided the city's underworld for thirty years, bound by a feud born of betrayal, territory, and blood. The series follows their children: Romeo Montano, a sensitive 19-year-old poet of the streets desperate to break free from his family's violence, and Julietta Capello, a fierce 17-year-old prodigy torn between loyalty to her name and the woman she is becoming. Their collision at a rooftop gala sets off a chain of events — secret vows, duels, murders, banishments, and betrayals — that will reduce two dynasties to rubble and cost the city a price it cannot afford to pay. Tonally, Blood & Roses blends the raw street authenticity of The Wire with the tragic romanticism of classic Italian opera. Every episode mirrors a key event in Shakespeare's original play, recast through the lens of organized crime, political corruption, and the inescapable gravity of inherited hate.
