Rick Grimes is the definition of a hero in The Walking Dead. He's one of the few characters who's managed to stay alive (despite many close calls) for all seven seasons.

So it's no surprise that if anyone should get a standing ovation in the dad department, it's Rick Grimes, who's played by Andrew Lincoln.

Like how Carl had to kill his own mother? Yeah, Rick helped him through that.
And there's no doubt that Carl and Judith are some of the show's most beloved characters.
