Jeffrey Dean Morgan is best known for his roles in The Watchmen, P.S. I Love You, and Grey’s Anatomy. Check out his full IMDB page here.

In the comics, Negan is the notorious foul-mouthed leader of a group called the Saviors. They use fear to rule over Negan’s community and enslave women to be his many “wives.” The Saviors were ordered to attack neighboring communities if an ongoing ransom wasn’t paid and savagely beat *SPOILER* to death in front of the surviving members of Rick Grime’s unwavering group. What ensued was an all out war sure to play out in Season 7. He’s most notably known for his barbed-wire bat, Lucille, who plays a HUGE role in the story.

    Fair warning to anyone who hasn’t been out there reading yet:
    Plenty of major entertainment sites tell when he appears, some more specific than others.

    I could’ve done just fine with a surprise on the casting but I’m sure that was impossible at this point. I do like this guy, tho. Just not all that excited, now that I know who & when.

    The swearing…. this is what needs to happen: Just mute the F-Bombs and other colorful language. Bleeps would sound silly. But muting, in my opinion would be fine. And then, when the DVDs are released, put them back in.
    This is what has to happen. Negan’s “artistic” language is such an important part of him. The character will be just another governor without it. Well, a lot worse, but you get the point.

    Enslave women? This makes it sound like the Saviors run around kidnapping women.

      Negan does enslave women, he’s not your basic gentleman.

        They’re not enslaved though, they’re free to leave at any point. Negan is not really a villain in the sense that the Governor was a villain.

        MikeLacey, there’s two kinds of people-those of us who realize that Negan is, as you put it, clearly not a gentleman–then there’s those others, who would probably make good Saviors.

        • BASTET. says:

          They wouldn’t even make good Saviors… at least most of the Saviors realized that they were oppressed/enslaved.

      He also gets “first pick” on the women.
      If I remember right he was routinely banging at least 10 women.
      And CARL impresses AND scares him to the point he gives him a grand tour

    It is just going to be really interesting how they handle the character. My guess is that they trade fuck for shit and go from there. “Here I am friendly as a shitless shit on a shitty day.” I mean not as good but it will be better than half his dialogue being bleeped out.

    He’s perfect! Way to go TWD, you’ve nailed another iconic character!
    That said, I assumed before this season started that we would be introduced to Negan in the season finale, so nothing crazy there. I’m really interested in how they put together the big scene from the comics though. Will they put in a substitute in the show?
    My prediction is that the group is going to finally give in and accept that Glenn is dead… only to have him fire off a flare shortly after that. A few episodes later, Glenn will meet his true demise at the hands of Negan.
    That said, I’m getting really turned off by this whole Glenn death troll that the show is pulling right now. It feels cheap no matter the outcome.

    • BASTET. says:

      I like what they’ve done with Glenn. It’s different. The only way they could mess that up is not having a plausible means for his ability to survive that herd… if he has survived… which I just can’t see.

        I can’t think of a better way to introduce Jesus than for him to come ninja kick flying in and save Glenn. Or at least cause a racket that will save him.

    I think the casting choice is brilliant. He’s shown he can be ruthless and brutal as The Comedian, but he also has that charm factor that makes Negan almost likable. Great choice and props to the Producers.
    In regards to the story line, I’m excited to see him kill a major cast member with Lucille (because I don’t believe it will be Glenn at this point, even if he is still alive. I wouldn’t be surprised if Maggie died at his hands).

    I think Daryl or Morgan are top picks for his intro. Not excited about either one of them dying but that’s the way of the show. I’ve never seen this guy in anything else but I’m going to check him out. I’m hoping I like him as much as I like comic Began. Bring on the FUCKING fuck rants lol I love NEGAN.

      Dying show? The ratings are far from indication of dying. Even if they dropped another 10%, they’d still be getting more viewership than the episodes of season 1.
      If you mean story wise, they show has never been stronger.

      google Kevin Durand and Negan comparisons.
      Although I do think JDM can pull this off… and would give some more ratings from the Supernatural fanbase due to him being a former cast member.

    I still think Kevin Durand would’ve been an EPIC choice.
    He looks EXACTLY like him… But JDM… I do like him as an actor, and if he can do the role justice… all the more power to him.
