Click here for Newsarama interview with Jeffrey Dean Morgan:
NRAMA: In all the roles you had in recent years, whether as a tough guy John Winchester on Supernatural, or romantic ghost-guy on Grey's Anatomy you haven’t been pushed as one type of character. Has any specific role prepared you for the grittiness of a character like the Comedian?
JDM: A lot of people like John Winchester a lot more than I knew when I was doing it. I think people like me more now than they did then.
NRAMA: And now you’ll be too popular and too busy to go back!
JDM: I would love to go back to that show, man, but right now yeah, I’m pretty busy. But I sure did have fun on that show.
The Comedian is a gruff kind of guy like Winchester. In that respect yeah, they’re similar, but then it ends. I don’t know that I have ever played someone like the Comedian before, or that I would again. There’s a certain darkness to him. I don’t’ know that he’s psychotic – he’s a b*****d. The comedian is something special. I can’t think of anything quite like him.
