Jeffrey Dean Morgan sat down for an interview with People where he opened up about his life changing role on Grey’s Anatomy.
"That show honestly gave me a career. I was doing that, Weeds and Supernatural simultaneously… I've auditioned zero times since playing Denny Duquette," explained the actor.
"I'd been kicking around Hollywood for a long time, but nobody certainly knew who I was," he added. "My whole career launched out of that character.”
"P.S. I Love You I got because of that show," Morgan explained of the 2007 romcom that starred Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler.
“[Director] Zack Snyder told me that he cast me in Watchmen because he saw me as Denny. How you watch Denny and go, ‘Well, that's the nihilistic comedian right there,’ is beyond me,” he revealed.
About winning his iconic role on The Walking Dead, he revealed in a panel, "My agent and manager called. They said, 'You've been offered this thing on The Walking Dead.’ It's to play a big bad. At that time, they didn't know the character's name because I think it was supposed to be a secret."
"And I’m like, ‘Is it f****** Negan?' And they’re like, 'I don’t know, we're going to have to call you back.' And I’m like, ‘No, it’s f****** Negan. And I’m f****** doing it,'" Morgan added.
