Mitch McConnel. I'm fascinated by the fact that an undead half rotten ghoul can have a public and well paid career.

Does Harold from Fallout count?
Yes.
Heh. I call him Bob. He hates that.
I think only feral ghouls would fit under the zombie moniker
Yes! I was thinking Fallout 2 era Harold myself.
Reg Shoe from the Ankh-Morpork city watch, from the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett (RIP)
A zombie has to pay attention to everything around them, to make sure any damage is fixed ASAP. It makes Reg a great detective.
Plus his pre zombie character in Night Watch is a parody of John Cleese's Revolutionary Reg in The Life of Brian
Undead? Yes! Unalive? No!
Just a reminder that Jesus is a lich, not a zombie.
Scruffy from Futurama
Life and death are a seamless continuum. Mmhm.
Colin from the movie Colin. Zombie movie from the point of view of a zombie.

Couple of dudes made it stupidly cheap and it was absolutely outstanding.
Thanks for the recommendation!
I watched it myself and loved it.
Dude from warm bodies is my favorite zombie but my favorite character from a zombie franchise is Nikolai Belinski from black ops zombies because he was a fixture of my childhood
Meryl Streep in Death Becomes Her
The zombified Avengers from "What If...?". They all still have their powers in addition to being zombies.
Like in the Marvel Zombies comics?
Probably, though I was referring specifically to the "What If...?" animated series which is (loosely?) based on them.
Probably Sheila in Santa Clarita Diet.
Rahul's character in iZombie technically for like 2 minutes lol
He was such a great character, he absolutely made that show!
Jimmy Gibbs, Jr!
Bub from Day of the Dead.
Brandon Heat from the anime and game GunGrave. Most over the top gun shootin zombie, filled his own coffin full of weapons and chained it to his back.
The two friends of the main character in Idle Hands.
Grabbing a bagel slicer to lop his evil hand off
Seth Green Zombie: "That thing can't even cut my bagel, dude."
Oh god
Can I count Shrike from the Mortal Engines books? Shrike was fantastic
Yeah, books are great!
My doubt is more over his "zombie" status than the medium in which his story is told! Shrike was made a zombie by technological means rather than magic or disease, so he doesn't fit in that regard. In terms of what it makes him - implacable, near-indestructible, seemingly inhuman, and in appearance a dead man wearing some funny armour - he fits the bill well.
Spoiler, but
Ed from Shaun of the Dead
I watched that movie in January on a flight home, a zombie movie ahead of its time
