Norman Reedus plays the “bad boy” role of Daryl Dixon in AMC’s hit series The Walking Dead.<\/em> Daryl’s remarkable cross-bowing skills and ability to kill zombies are undeniable, but it takes some work to get to such a high skill level. Norman Reedus was born in Hollywood, FL. and raised in Los Angeles, Ca., where he was later discovered as an actor.
