Over the weekend, Watchmen star Jeffrey Dean Morgan spoke briefly about portraying the baseball bat-wielding villain Negan in The Walking Dead, and now the actor has shared shared his excitement for his upcoming role during a Supernatural convention in Pasadena, California.
“I’ve kind of become accustomed to playing sort of the good guy,” states Morgan (via Comic Book). “You know, maybe a rough exterior with a heart of gold in there somewhere. I think the challenge for me in this role is going to be: Is there any heart in Negan? And for me, I look at that as a challenge as an actor and that’s the kind of thing I embrace and really look forward to. I’m super-excited about it. It’s going to be cool. I promise you, it will be something different than what you’ve seen me do.”
