Recently cast Negan actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan has finally opened up about his upcoming role on The Walking Dead. Participating in a Q&A at PasCon (Supernatural Convention), JDM (easier to write) recalls the moment he got the call.

“When my agent/manager called they said, ‘You’ve been offered this thing on The Walking Dead…to play this big bad…and I’m like ‘Is it fucking Negan?’ and they’re like ‘I don’t know, we’re going to call you back in a second.’ And I’m like ‘No, it’s fucking Negan.'”

See what else JDM had to say by WATCHING the full video below (Thanks to Midnight Dawn for the upload):

    Am I the only one who is disappointed? I want a Negan who actually looks like him. Jeffery Dean Morgan makes me think of Gregory. I know I’m being a bit too critical, but I want to see a look alike of Negan, not a re-imagined version.

      I just watched the video, and I feel a bit less worried. I mean I still don’t see Negan when I look at him, but his excitement for the role makes me look at it differently. Hopefully he pulls it off like I think he might.

        only reason im okay with him is because he played John

          the personality and voice will work, now hopefully they give him the right physical look because his current look isn’t cutting it

        Andrew Lincoln doesn’t look like rick, but he kills the part. If they don’t write shitty scripts for JDM, I think that he is gonna knock it out of the park.

      Sorry dude, but you’re wrong (in my opinion). This guy is a top notch actor. Not only does he have the physical dominance to play the role, he will bring the same level of depth to the character that David Morrissey brought to the governor. He will keep the audience engaged and rooting for him. He will make us love him (and Lucille), and then fucking hate his guts. Perfect casting in my opinion.

        Great actor, indeed. But is he too sexy to play a psycho ?
        Well… Like a said. Great actor.

        Morrissey did amazing, and I also thought that because I was watching the show before I actually saw the Governor in the comics, so I didn’t know what he was suppose to look like yet. I’ve only seen Morgan as John Winchester, so I don’t have much to go off of.

          Watch him in Watchmen. Morgan can pull off the psychotic twisted sense of humor very very well.

            In fact, here’s a good clip of him as the Comedian. I’m pumped.

      Many of the other characters on the show do not look exactly like their comic book counterparts. However, it has not made them any less amazing! I trust in their casting judgement and think Jeffrey Dean Morgan will do “fucking” great.

    I disagree. I think the casting is perfect. JDM is going to knock it out of the park. Aside from some grey facial hair, I don’t see any similarity to that turd Gregory.

    AMC’s censorship. If they don’t allow Negan to speak like Negan or if they replace it with effin, it’s gonna be cringingly awful to watch

      That’s my biggest concern. If they aren’t willing to let him loose (which I strongly believe they should), then they need to drop that part of his character completely. As soon as I hear “eff this” or “effity eff eff’n aye”, I’m done with this show. Negan is one of my favorite characters from the comics, and I’ll be devastated if they butcher him.

    He will be ok…I do not expect same look like the comic, the governor for example, the perfect one was Danny Trejo (Machete) and for Negan probably the best would be Travolta, but you can’t have everything in the walking dead…It’s good to see new faces (I did not know any of the actors, actresses before the walking dead) that is the beauty!

    I think JDM is a great choice. I just wonder who will play Lucille…

    He is obviously a major fan, if his first reaction was to ask if it’s Negan, and he just didn’t stop grinning when he was talking about it.
    It’s going to be awesome… 🙂 (sorry Glenn/whoever)

    I think the resemblance is pretty close. Give him a shave, cut his hair short and maybe dye it… I think they made a good choice.
    Now about those F-Bombs. PLEASE keep them in. Maybe just mute them for the show and add them back to the DVD.

    I agree with Sean, it is the F’s that make Negan who he is. If I hear “mother dick” or something like that I will lose all respect for the character. MUTE them if you have to but please please please don’t BEEP them! Nothing destroys a show more then constant BEEPING.
    As for the choice of actors. He sounds like a pretty good fit to me. I mean, really, no one is going to look exactly like a 2 dimensional character ..
