Mitch McConnel. I’m fascinated by the fact that an undead half rotten ghoul can have a public and well paid career.
Does Harold from Fallout count?
Heh. I call him Bob. He hates that.
Yes.
Yes! I was thinking Fallout 2 era Harold myself.
I think only feral ghouls would fit under the zombie moniker
Just a reminder that Jesus is a lich, not a zombie.
Reg Shoe from the Ankh-Morpork city watch, from the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett (RIP)
A zombie has to pay attention to everything around them, to make sure any damage is fixed ASAP. It makes Reg a great detective.
Plus his pre zombie character in Night Watch is a parody of John Cleese’s Revolutionary Reg in The Life of Brian
Undead? Yes! Unalive? No!
Billy Connolly in Fido
loved that movie
Scruffy from Futurama
Life and death are a seamless continuum. Mmhm.
Meryl Streep in Death Becomes Her
The zombified Avengers from “What If…?”. They all still have their powers in addition to being zombies.
Like in the Marvel Zombies comics?
Probably, though I was referring specifically to the “What If…?” animated series which is (loosely?) based on them.
Spoiler, but
Ed from Shaun of the Dead
I watched that movie in January on a flight home, a zombie movie ahead of its time
Colin from the movie Colin. Zombie movie from the point of view of a zombie.

Couple of dudes made it stupidly cheap and it was absolutely outstanding.
Thanks for the recommendation!
I watched it myself and loved it.
Probably Sheila in Santa Clarita Diet.
Oh god
Rahul’s character in iZombie technically for like 2 minutes lol
He was such a great character, he absolutely made that show!
Can I count Shrike from the Mortal Engines books? Shrike was fantastic
Yeah, books are great!
My doubt is more over his “zombie” status than the medium in which his story is told! Shrike was made a zombie by technological means rather than magic or disease, so he doesn’t fit in that regard. In terms of what it makes him - implacable, near-indestructible, seemingly inhuman, and in appearance a dead man wearing some funny armour - he fits the bill well.
