Recent Role:
Himself on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
Gender:
Male
Born:
4-22-1966
Birthplace:
Seattle, Washington, USA
Birth Name:
Jeffrey Dean Morgan
As a child, Jeffrey Dean Morgan always wanted to play professional basketball. This dream seemed closer than ever when he entered college and won a spot on the team. But when a knee injury left him permanently benched, Morgan set his sights on more creative endeavors: specifically the graphic arts. But fate intervened. A short trip to L.A. turned into a life long home, and Morgan found a passion for acting that he just couldn't ignore. "I fell in love with acting and got the bug, and that was how the love affair started," he has said.



More The Seattle born actor has starred in several movies and television shows over the years, but only recently did he find the break that all actors dream of - not one great role, but two; playing heart patient Denny Duquette on the ABC smash hit Grey's Anatomy as well as demon hunter John Winchester on the CW's critically acclaimed cult hit, Supernatural. Even more incredibly, the two roles occured simultaneously. Never one to shy away from a challenge, Morgan dived into the two parts, giving each one 100% of himself - and it shows. Despite the overwhelming differences between the two characters, Morgan managed to deliver an awe-inspiring performance on both.

Thanks to overwhelming fan response and Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes' own self-professed affection for Morgan, the hunky, blue-eyed thespian will star in her new untitled ABC project - a pilot about a group of female journalists. In the meantime, Morgan continues to be in demand in Hollywood, and is enjoying his current success.

Currently, Morgan lives in L.A. with his nine year old dog, Bisou. And fortunately for his female admirers, he is as of yet, unmarried.

  • Wtf!

    First he makes a living as a dead guy Supernatural, Weeds, Grey's, Watchmen and then as a dad Supernatural, Weeds, Watchmen and now this?! Life imtating art?! I wonder if it's real or just a scam or rumor? Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Secret Son 25 March 2009 12:10 PM, PDT | From More wenn.com | See recent WENN news Watchmen actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan has discovered he's the father of an ex-girlfriend' s four year old son. The 42-year-old met his child for the first time just weeks ago, after discovering his actress/producer ex Sherrie Rose had given birth in secret. Rose confirms to Us Weekly magazine, "Yes, I have a four year old son with Jeffrey." And Morgan is ready to make amends for his absence in the boy's early years, with a source telling the magazine, "He wants to be in the child's life." Morgan's representative has yet to respond to the reports. Wouldn't it be weird if he was named Dean, Sam, Jensen or Jared? LOL

    Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the perfect man. Deep sex voice, ruggedly handsome face with dimples do die for, and don't forget that laugh. His laugh is so infectious it should be reported to the CDC. hide show

    Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the perfect man. Deep sex voice, ruggedly handsome face with dimples do die for, and don't forget that laugh. His laugh is so infectious it should be reported to the CDC. But we all know that looks aren't everything and Jeffrey's got that covered too. He is one of the most talented actors in Hollywood. Sure he's been around a long time doing bit parts but people are finally giving him the credit (and roles) he deserves. I fell in love with Jeffrey when he was playing John Winchester on Supernatural. He may have only been around physically for one full season but John Winchester is a man you don't forget, thanks to the actor that portrays him. And my fingers are crossed that Papa W. can make an appearance or two in Supernatural's fifth, and most likely final season. Jeffrey's got a few movies yet to come out in 2009/2010. Here's hoping he'll get to grace our movie screens for many years to come.

    Jeffrey Dean Morgan has a smile of warmth and the eyes to match ... AND he can act!!! hide show

    Excellent actor
    Up and comer (has many roles that he hasn't touched)
    I am so glad that he isn't married;-)
    I am smitten over him and can't wait to see him in all his endeavors. I have seen 'PS I love you' and now watch it regularly. He can be an Irishman, a Comedian or just a guy from Seattle, he is great in my view! I have seen 'PS I love you' and now I have watched it 1x a week. He can be an Irishman, a Comedian or just a guy from Seattle, he is great in my view! Kudos to JDM!

    9.1 Superb
    Such a shame he always dies. hide show

    I first saw JDM in Angel playing a guy with a vamp problem, next was Supernatural when he was hunting them.

    He played daddy Winchester so well, fitting in with the styles of the existing cast, like them all he was given a great opportunity to show his acting range. He was able to portray such sadness,determination and tough love as the weary hunter trying to protect his sons. When his character was possessed JDM played bad so well. Its such a pity that almost every show I have seen him in Supernatural, Greys Anatomy and Weeds he ends up dead. This really only giving him the opportunity to come back on SN.

    He has also aged like wine and wears his grey well. I hope to see him in more.
