Michael Cudlitz is an American actor known for portraying John Cooper in the NBC/TNT drama series 'Southland', and Sergeant Abraham Ford in the AMC horror series 'The Walking Dead'.

However his breakout role came in 2001 with his portrayal of Sgt. Denver "Bull" Randleman in the epic World War II miniseries, 'Band of Brothers'. Cudlitz joined an ensemble cast portraying the men of "Easy" Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division as they fought their way across Europe from Normandy to the Eagle's Nest.

Cudlitz takes us on a behind the scenes journey from first hearing about the role, to the actors 'boot camp' and production, and ultimately ending on why the series still resonates with audiences 23 years later.
