Denver Comic Con 2016 Guest Spotlight: Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Written by John Edward Betancourt

Following the unfortunate announcement that Robin Lord Taylor will not be able to attend Denver Comic Con 2016 due to a scheduling conflict with Gotham's shooting schedule, DCC decided to act quickly and announce a new guest to fill Robin's now empty booth and well...this announcement just so happens to be a doozy. 

Jeffrey Dean Morgan, long time fan favorite of so many genre themed shows will now be appearing at Denver Comic Con 2016 this upcoming Father's Day Weekend and this is one heck of a last minute addition to the show, because Jeffrey is quite the decorated actor to say the least. 

He is of course extremely well known to Supernatural fans for playing John Winchester and comic book fans everywhere praised his powerhouse live action performance of the Comedian in 2009's Watchmen. But Jeffrey's resume includes several roles in drama as well with appearances in The Good Wife and Grey's Anatomy over the past few years, and he even showed us how much butt he can kick in an action flick with his role as Clay in 2010's The Losers.  As of late, Jeffrey is enjoying the spotlight with some pretty incredible roles since he recently portrayed Thomas Wayne in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. 

However, while his appearance in that movie was awesome, let's be honest, there's one role on his resume that everyone is talking about...his portrayal as Negan in The Walking Dead. In a mere fifteen minutes, Jeffrey managed to encompass everything we love to hate and hate to love about this iconic character and that terrifying and powerful performance from Jeffrey was only the beginning. Negan plays a huge part in the comics, just as he will on the show and his incredible portrayal of the character in that short time frame is no doubt a harbinger of what kind of top notch acting we can come to expect from him as his role on the show grows and grows. 

There is however, one slight catch to his appearance at Denver Comic Con this year; he will only be available to greet his fans, hopefully with Lucille if we are lucky, on Sunday at the convention. So with it being so close to the con and the fact he is only going to be there one day; get your Sunday passes for DCC from their website ASAP, and I really can't stress that enough since three day passes have completely sold out. Either way, what an awesome addition to this year's show and I really can't wait to meet Jeffrey and see all of you this weekend at the Colorado Convention Center.
