While Steven Yeun is best known for his role as Glenn Rhee in \u2018The Walking Dead,\u2019 it\u2019s now abundantly clear that the role was merely the beginning of an illustrious career. Through a variety of acting roles in character-driven films and animated shows, leading up to this year\u2019s release of \u2018Minari,\u2019 Yeun has proved himself as a deeply empathetic and honest presence on the screen \u2013 an actor who no doubt has the chops to be nominated for this year\u2019s Best Actor award. Playing Fan Favorite Glenn Rhee in \u2018The Walking Dead\u2019 From the moment Yeun\u2019s character Glenn Rhee saved Rick Grimes from a military tank overrun by Walkers (zombies) in episode 2 of \u2018The Walking Dead,\u2019 he was an instant fan-favorite. The first survivor we meet in this post-apocalyptic world, Glenn set the standard for the absolute best of humanity one could see in a zombie outbreak \u2013 putting his own life at risk to help a stranger escape his otherwise inevitable demise. As a character, Glenn flourished as a positive force within Rick\u2019s group \u2013 the kind of \u201ceveryman\u201d that everyone trusted. This kind of altruism is something the characters seem to chase for the rest of the show\u2019s tenure, struggling to find a safe home amongst strangers who most likely are only thinking of their own survival.
