VIDEO : Jeffrey Dean Morgan Talks About His Role on 'The Walking Dead'

Jeffrey Dean Morgan has met the most important character for him on The Walking Dead: a barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat named Lucille. He tells EW, "She is gorgeous. She is a beautiful girl." The actor added that he "grew up with a bat in his hands," and his love for comic books is well known. When a fan told him he should be Negan on The Walking Dead a few years ago, he caught up with the comic and loved the character. He has been to the set in Atlanta already, and met the cast, including Steven Yeun and suffice to say, Glenn and Negan have an interesting relationship in the comics.
