Before They Were Stars: Melissa McBride on “Walker, Texas Ranger”

Melissa McBride has unexpectedly become one of the biggest badasses on television with her portrayal of Carol Peletier on The Walking Dead, something that nobody could have anticipated when the series started four years ago. But what would happen if Carol crossed paths with… Chuck Norris?! Believe it or not, this actually happened on a 1997 episode of Walker, Texas Ranger. In fact, this happens to be one of the more infamous episodes of the show, featuring Haley Joel Osment as a kid with AIDS who befriends Walker. Melissa McBride briefly pops up in this clip as the AIDS-stricken kid’s doctor.
