Known as the lovable, if misguided, son of Lily Tomlin's Frankie on the hit Netflix show, Ethan Embry originally tested for the gritty Rick Grimes on "The Walking Dead" (via Uproxx). Although he never got to wear Rick's iconic sheriff's hat, Embry did make a splash on "Grace and Frankie," returning each season as a kindhearted foil to pricklier characters like Jane Fonda's Grace or June Diane Raphael's Brianna. As Coyote Bergstein, Embry consistently remains an endearing key player in the Netflix series, depicting a man working to stay sober and unearth his passions in life.
Embry did eventually make an appearance in the zombie wasteland of Virginia. He later joined "The Walking Dead" in Season 6 for a one-episode arc as Carter, a resident of Alexandria who clashes with Rick. Of course, fighting with the starring ensemble never ends well for visiting characters, as seen when Embry's Carter ultimately perishes after getting his face eaten by one of the undead. Thankfully, viewers can always return to "Grace and Frankie" to watch Embry flourish as a wholesome goof in the undeniably safer terrain of an apocalypse-free California.
