ShadowOpsFN’s post has generated some debate about whether the voice actor for the Rick Grimes skin is actually Andrew Lincoln or not, the actor responsible for the character’s portrayal inThe Walking Dead. Some fans believe the voice acting sounds fine, while others have suggested the lines this skin features sound off-putting and forced.
