Mark (Andrew Lincoln), Love Actually Quotes

Andrew Lincoln may now be well known for his role as Rick Grimes on The Walking Dead. But years before he was slaying zombies, he tried to steal Juliet's heart in his role as Mark. And even though he never spoke the words out loud, his cue card lines might be among the most well-known (and parodied) of all the Love Actually quotes.

With any luck, by next year
I'll be going out with one of these girls...
[Pictures of models]
But for now, let me say,
without hope or agenda,
just because it's Christmas—
(and at Christmas you tell the truth)
to me, you are perfect
and my wasted heart will love you
until you look like this...
[picture of the mummy]
MERRY CHRISTMAS
