Andrew Lincoln reveals the reason he quit 'The Walking Dead': "It was time for me to come home"

Lincoln admitted that spending half the year filming in Georgia while his family lived in the UK was proving to be more difficult as time passed.

Andrew Lincoln has finally revealed what caused him to quit The Walking Dead, and the reason seems every bit valid enough. The fact that his family lived thousands of miles away, on a different continent, is what spurred the actor to quit his very successful TV series role, so he could spend more tie with his family.

Lincoln played the lead character of Rick Grimes on the show, and despite the widespread acclaim he received for his role, he admits that filming for it in Georgia while his wife and children remained in the UK, was proving to be quite a difficult process for him.
