Walking Dead's Daryl Dixon included in The Greatest TV Characters of All Time
By Renee Hansen
Whether he is riding his motorcycle to lead a horde of the undead, killing walkers with his crossbow, or playing the part of uncle, Daryl Dixon is one of the most beloved characters in The Walking Dead universe. This is partly due to the fact that actor Norman Reedus, who has played the character since 2010, is such a great guy. Ranker hosted a new poll to discover the Greatest TV Characters of All Time, a list that includes Daryl Dixon and some other notable Walking Dead characters.
Ranker polls are voted on by readers of the site, which means viewers of movies and shows. This specific poll focuses on TV characters, making for a massive list of favorites from current series and old favorites as well. The good thing about the list is if you don't like the rankings, you can add your votes, up or down, to weigh in on the poll. Over 89,000 people cast over 1.6 million votes in this poll, which was open to any TV character, real or animated.
Daryl Dixon comes in at No. 10 on the list and is preceded by several Breaking Bad characters, Tony Soprano, The Office's Michael Scott & Dwight Schrute, and more.
