Ryan Samuels, portrayed by Victor McCay, is a character in the television series The Walking Dead.
Ryan is a newcomer to the prison community. He is present with his daughters Lizzie and Mika, and seen in the library when Carol Peletier is conducting storytime with the children.
During the outbreak in "Infected", a walker bites him. Carol tries to amputate his arm, but realizes he is bitten in other, inoperable areas, too. Before he dies, Ryan asks Carol to take care of his daughters.
When Lizzie is emotionally unable to carry out her desire to be the one to stab Ryan's corpse in the head to prevent reanimation, Carol puts him down.
