Daryl Dixon from The Walking Dead (Norman Reedus) was in the music video for “Fake Plastic Trees” by Radiohead in 1995

In the mid-nineties Reedus was working as a model and actually appears in a number of music videos by various artists (including Bjork, Goo Goo Dolls and R.E.M.)

He appears in the clip for Fake Plastic Trees briefly as a young man playing with a supermarket trolley. In the video the band members and various other characters are being pushed around a supermarket in trolleys.

Video director Jake Scott said that “The film is actually an allegory for death and reincarnation, but if you can read that into it you must be as weird as the people who made it.”

Jake Scott is Ridley Scott’s son.

Other clips he has directed include R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts”, Luscious Jackson “Here”, The Verve “On Your Own”, “Morning Glory” by Oasis, “In The Meantime” by Spacehog, and The Strokes’ “Reptilia”

Radiohead were sued for copyright infringement on their debut single “Creep”

They were sued because “Creep” shared a similar chord progression and some melodic content with the 1972 version of “The Air That I Breathe”, originally performed by Albert Hammond (who co-wrote it with Mike Hazelwood).

Albert Hammond is, of course, Albert Hammond Jr of The Strokes’ dad.

The law suit was settled and Hammond & Hazelwood awarded joint songwriting credits and a percentage of royalties for “Creep”.

In turn, in 2018 Radiohead pursued legal action against Lana Del Ray for the similarities between “Creep” and her track “Get Free” from her album “Lust For Life” from the previous year.
