Jeffrey Dean Morgan is The Comedian in Watchmen the Warner Brothers film adaptation of  Alan Moore's award winning graphic novel, directed by Zach Snyder of  300 fame.

 

 Jeff: "It’s so true to the book I can’t even begin to tell you how. Everything is so true to the book it’s insane. You can put anything that has been built for the Watchmen next to a panel in the book and it’ll trip you out. It’s amazing.

"I had heard of it, I’d never read it. I read it when I went in and met with Zack. They’re like, ‘We’re going to send you a script.’ Well, they didn’t send me a script, they sent me the book. And so that was my first introduction to it. I’ve since read it, since we started this thing, I don’t know, 20 times.

"We all want to make everybody happy, which is a hard thing to do, for one. Two, I don’t even know if there is a two. You just want everybody to be frigging happy and you want to blow their minds. I think that’s what’s going to happen."
