Undoubtedly Jeffrey Dean Morgan's most famous TV role would be Negan in The Walking Dead. Negan made his debut in the finale of season 6 and was later responsible for the nightmarish execution of two beloved characters. He's since evolved from a villain into more of an anti-hero. Morgan's charisma made the character oddly likable, however, despite his tendency to commit horrifying acts of violence. The Walking Dead has taken up most of his time in recent years, though he appeared in a ing role in Dwayne Johnson blockbuster Rampage in 2018 and made a special guest appearance on Supernatural's 300th episode "Lebanon."
