Melissa McBride

The bulk of the actors become successful after eight to ten years of work. During this time, you can have time to go from acting universities (or courses) and episodic roles in TV series like "The Streets of Broken Lanterns" to the main roles in blockbusters. Slightly less common option of starting a career as a child - history remembers both well-developed examples (Natalie Portman, Daniel Radcliffe), and not very (Macaulay Culkin, Haley Joel Osment).

But there is another category of artists - those that became famous already in adulthood. These include Anthony Hopkins, Steve Carell, Melissa Leo, Bryan Cranston and, of course, Melissa McBride.

Little is known about the actress' early years. She was born on May 23, 1965. It happened in Lexington, the second most populous city in Kentucky (USA). Melissa Suzanne - as her full name sounds - became the fourth child of businessman John Leslie McBride and his wife, teacher Susan Lillian McBride (nee Sagli). 

The couple had sons John Michael (1957-1990) and Neil Allen (1960-2008) and daughter Melanie Suzanne (1962-2012). Melissa's childhood was spent in her hometown, which she left in adulthood.

McBride first appeared on screen in 1991, starring in a local TV store. Learning to behave properly in front of the camera, Melissa decides to test herself in the acting field. 

Her debut took place in 1993 - in the detective series "Matlock", which tells the story of the lawyer Ben Matlock (played by Andy Griffith), taking on the investigation of absolutely any case.

A year later, the aspiring actress played a supporting role in the TV series "Midnight Heat", as well as its sequel in the form of the film "Midnight Heat. Give Me Your Life" by Russ Mayberry ("Star Trek," "The Great Equalizer," "Detective Magnum"). The series and the film were shot in the genre of a crime detective with elements of the action movie. The plot revolved around Sheriff Bill Gilspi, investigator Virgil and Lieutenant Buba Skiner.

In 1994, Melissa starred in David A. Pryor's the sci-fi horror Bionosaurus ("Deadly Prey," "The Future Area," "People Against zombies"). The film was clearly inspired by the film "Predator" with Arnold Schwarzenegger - in the era of video shows "Bionosaurus" was known to the domestic audience as "Predator 3".

A year later, McBride starred in The Sheriff of the Underworld, a popular horror drama starring Gary Cole, Lucas Black, Paige Turko and Sarah Paulson. In the Russian box office, the series is also known under the original name "American Gothic."

In 1996, the actress played a cameo in the detective series "Profailer" with Roma Muffia and Robert Davi. This was followed by a role in the cult series with Chuck Norris, "Cool Walker." Detective gunman told about the everyday life of a Texas ranger named Fairwoker.

In 1998, Melissa starred in the melodramatic series Dawson's Creek, which launched the career of stars such as Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, Michelle Williams and James Van Der Beek.

The following year, the actress was remembered for her role in Martin Burke's "Pirates of Silicon Valley" ("Power Game," "Angel of Vengeance," "Journalists at Gunpoint"). The film was based on iconic episodes of biography of Bill Gates and his rival Steve Jobs.

Since 2001, Melissa periodically began to appear as a voice actor in the parody animated series "Robotsyp". In 2002, McBride starred in the drama "Dangerous Games" - an adaptation of the eponymous novel by Chris Fuhrman, shot by popular music video maker Peter Kay. In addition to Melissa, the film stars Emile Hirsch, Kieran Culkin (Macaulay's younger brother), Jodie Foster and Vincent D'Onofrio.

Five years later, the actress starred in Frank Darabent's sci-fi drama "The Shawshank Redemption," "The Green Mile," "Buried Alive") -- an adaptation of Stephen King's "The Fog." McBride's company on the set was Thomas Jane, Toby Jones, William Sadler, Chris Owen and others.

In 2008, Melissa, along with Freddie Prince Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt, Val Kilmer, Malcolm McDowell and Michael Clarke Duncan took part in the voiceover of the fantasy cartoon "Delgo" by Mark F. Adler and Jason Morer.

In the series "The Walking Dead" Melissa plays from the very first series - she was invited to the project by Frank Darabont, who acted as the producer of the film adaptation of the eponymous comic book series of the company Image Comics, famous for staging comics about Spawn. In addition to McBride, this zombie horror featured stars such as Norman Reedus ("Saints from Bundock"), Jeffrey Dean Morgan ("Supernatural") and John Bernthal ("The Punisher").

In 2016, Tom Gould and John Serp's comedy "Lucky" was released, in which Melissa played with Amanda Bauer, Jack Deli, Janine Garofalo, Reese Ward and others.

The actress was not married and has no children. She was credited with having an affair with her colleagues, but McBride denied it.

In the eighties, Melissa moved to Atlanta, where she still lives, but in 2017 she seriously considered moving to Los Angeles.

She loves social media - especially Twitter (but with Instagram didn't work out). In them, she shares with fans numerous photos and videos from filming and media events, as well as communicates with fans.

Carol Pelethier is the character of the actress in The Walking Dead - the only female character who has been in the series for so long. This was facilitated by the love of the audience, noted by the producers.

McBride says he plans to continue filming The Walking Dead, but is already looking for new projects. Among fans there are rumors that Melissa's heroine will move to the spin-off "Fear the Walking Dead" to not leave the project definitively, but at the same time to have enough combined time to participate in other films and SERIES. The actress herself does not comment on this information.
