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.
SO Walking Dead fanatics, what do YOU think of the casting??
Sam and Dean’s dad!
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.
Excellent!
Now, AMC, about that swearing?!?
Things about to get real, ADAM SANDLER isn’t ready ;_;
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.
That would get me to actually by a Blu Ray set.
Enslave women? This makes it sound like the Saviors run around kidnapping women.
I love the casting. I think he’ll be great. And he’s nice on the eyes too. Heh.
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.
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
PERFECT CASTING. NO COMPLAINTS.
Your profile pic… I HONESTLY thought that was going to happen tonight.
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.
I’m really going to need the fucks.
Again, like I said: 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.
It’s AMC… I doubt they’ll bleep the f bombs.
IIRC I’ve heard a few characters drop a random one..
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.
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.
this would also be awesome im waiting on jesus
Jesus saves.
Jesus saves sucka! My prediction for JSS. Personally I think mine was better than just survive somehow. What do I know though.
He’d have to have the legs of Mr. Fantastic.
But he does doesn’t he? 😉 sorry that would be Mr. Fabulous. 🙂
We could see Negan bash a zombie’s head in in the finale. That zombie could be Glenn.
Spoilers.
Yeah. It’s futile.
I love him! I think he will do a great job.
so i dont usually comment but i must say this as i could be feasible. what if the saviors saved glenn and kept him prisioner and the comic story arc still occured? you think its possible
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).
Maggie? Really? Wow, what makes you say that?
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.
Couldn´t be better!!
Negan and Thomas Wayne are one and the same ?!?
Who’s the Comedian ?
well this may actually save the currently dying show. pls double tap glenn & daryl. pls.
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.
Bsur you’re retarded
That’s the site troll. Best to treat ’em like walkers… don’t feed ’em & hopefully they’ll eventually move on.
You sir sound like an uninformed idiot about ratings.
If ANYTHING this season has drawn more viewers in than past seasons… “dying” show?
Have fun watching Last man on earth then. THAT is a series that honestly should die.
Great news! Really excited about it!
Jeffrey Dean Morgan will be a great Negan. I guess this means he won’t be Alicia’s love interest on The Good Wife. lol
The headline says it all… Holy HOLY F**KING F**K! What an amazing choice with Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Incredible actor that will be a great fit for the character. Fantastic casting as always TWD!!!

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.
Fucking Fuck!!! Couldn’t they find someone more chubbier?
Woo hoo! Glad to hear Negan will be represented in the show as well. I have to agree that muting his f’enheimers would be a much better choice then beeping, or even worse, him say mother dick all the time!
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.
