Following his run as Sam and Dean's father John Winchester on "Supernatural," Jeffrey Dean Morgan went on to hold the recurring role of Denny Duquette on "Grey's Anatomy." He then had a main role in season 7 of "The Good Wife," before starring as Negan on "The Walking Dead."
Speaking about his role on "The Walking Dead," Morgan told Men's Journal, "The first couple years I was on this show, I was worried that Negan was very two-dimensional. I felt like every scene was an iteration of him coming out of that Winnebago." As fans know, though, that changed as the series progressed. Morgan continued, saying, "Negan has become such an important part of my life. It'd be hard to make a clean cut and walk away." The show's eleventh and final season premiered in August 2021 and, in March 2022, it was announced that AMC had greenlit a "The Walking Dead" spinoff series following Morgan's character, Negan, and Lauren Cohan's character, Maggie.
Back in 2009, Morgan began dating actress Hilarie Burton after being set up on a blind date by his "Supernatural" co-star Jensen Ackles. The couple welcomed a son named Gus in 2010 and, after five years of fertility struggles, a daughter named George in 2018. After 10 years together, Morgan and Burton married on October 5, 2019, in a ceremony performed by his "Walking Dead" castmates and close friends, Jensen Ackles and Norman Reedus (via EW).
