Well, Hines Ward has looked better ...

The former Steelers receiver is busy in his life's second act: working as a sports commentator for NBC, cooking up wings on the Food Network and training for the Ironman world championships.



Somehow, he found time to play dead.

"It was an amazing experience," said Mr. Ward, who will be a zombie extra when AMC's hit series "The Walking Dead" returns to haunt Sunday nights Feb. 10.

"Just being in makeup preparing me for my role was cool. I actually scared myself when I looked in the mirror for the first time after."



"A former Georgia teammate of mine (IronE Singleton) is one of the stars of the show, and my agent thought it would be something fun and different for me to do," Mr. Ward said.

"The show is so popular, and I thought it would be cool, so I agreed," Mr. Ward said. "And I had a blast doing it."
