When fans think of actor Norman Reedus, they probably associate him most with his character, Daryl Dixon, on AMC's The Walking Dead. This might be his most recognized and well-known acting gig thus far, but what people might not know is that he's had a pretty impressive career so far. He's been acting since the early 1990's and has even modeled for Prada in that time frame as well. He's usually cast to play a rugged and rough-around-the-edges tough guy on the silver screen, but in his personal life, he's a father of two and dating actress Diane Kruger.
A lot of actors and actresses have had their fair share of duds and successful roles and IMDb is there every step of the way to record and review it; when it comes to Norman Reedus, he's has more success than duds.
10 Sky (5.9/10)
This film may or may not have brought Norman Reedus and actress Diane Kruger together in real life, so that's a win on its own. Sky is about a woman named Romy (Diane Kruger) who is on a U.S. vacation with her distant husband. After a brutal fight, Romy decides to finally break free and live a simpler life, without the security of her past.
9 Gossip (5.9/10)
In this mystery thriller, Norman acts beside other A-list actors such as James Marsden, Lena Headey and Kate Hudson. It's a story about three college student that base their class project around gossip and just how fast it can spread, and choose wreck havoc on those around them.
It's still relevant today, as gossip travels faster than ever with social media; it also doesn't hurt that Norman played his character, Travis, to a tee.
8 Six Ways To Sunday (6.3/10)
Norman Reedus had some really good roles in the late 1990s and Six Ways To Sunday was one of them. It's a crime drama about an 18-year-old named Harry, who has anger issues and an overprotective mother. This film stands apart from other crime dramas, as there are bouts of comedy and emotional scenes, as well.
This film is a hidden gem and gave Norman a platform to show the audience his excellent acting chops. Other cast members include Adrien Brody, Clark Gregg, and Debbie Harry.
7 Tough Luck (6.3/10)
In 2003, Norman joined the cast of Tough Luck; a story about a tense web of deceit and betrayal that entangles Archie, played by Norman. He's a wandering grifter who is hired by a traveling carnival owner that wants him to murder his wife.
It scored well on IMDb, but has somehow remained a hidden thriller for years.
6 The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (6.3/10)
Fast-forwarding 10 years in the future and Norman Reedus with Sean Patrick Flanery are back at it again in The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day. The MacManus brothers are living a much quieter life in Ireland with their father Da, played by actor Billy Connolly.
When they learn their priest has been murdered by the mob, they decide to go back to Boston and avenge justice to those responsible for the priest. It didn't get as good of a score as the original at a 6.3/10, but it was still a great sequel.
5 Floating (6.6/10)
The late 1990s were a good time for cinema and Floating was a movie to be remembered. It was Norman's film debut as Van, a man trying to deal with a difficult relationship with his father. Because his father relies so much on him, Van's own issues and emotions fall to the back burner.
It involves friendship, loss, and a crime spree that ends in tragedy. For Norman's first movie, he did a stellar job.
4 Blade II (6.7/10)
The first installment of Blade was iconic to the action/vampire genre, but Blade II was a great follow-up, with Norman Reedus in tow. This is probably one of Norman's most "main-stream" films to date and even though he wasn't front and center in this film, his presence was still noticed and made a difference.
He played Scud, Blade's assistant after his mentor Abraham Whistler passed on.
3 The Boondock Saints (7.8/10)
Heading back to a time before the 2000s, The Boondock Saints made a huge impact on the silver screen in 1999 and received rave reviews, time and time again. The storyline is about two Irish Catholic brothers who quickly become vigilantes and eliminate Boston's criminal underworld for religious reasons, of course.
Norman plays Murphy MacManus, opposite of Sean Patrick Flanery as his brother, Connor MacManus. It scores a 7.8/10 on IMDb and remains one of the best action movies to date.
2 The Walking Dead (7.8/10)
The Walking Dead is one of the most successful television show in history. It has fans all over the world and some thanks needs to be handed to Norman Reedus and his portrayal of Daryl Dixon.
Daryl's character might've had a rocky start in season one, but he quickly proved himself to be an important member of Rick's group and a fan favorite across the board. In fact, he still remains on the show after 10 seasons.
1 Ride With Norman Reedus (8.2/10)
It was apparent in The Walking Dead that Norman Reedus knew his way around a motorcycle; so it's not a surprise he would get his own show about the explorations of biker culture. Since 2016, Norman has invited his friends onto the show to join him on his trek to find the coolest mechanics, craftsmen, and enthusiasts around the country.
