We know you loved Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the dearly departed Denny Duquette on Grey's Anatomy, John Winchester on Supernatural and Judah Botwin on Weeds. (Why does he always play dead people?) Luckily for all you JDM fans, we snagged an interview with the up-and-coming movie star to chat about his role in Warner Bros.' Watchmen, which hits theaters March 6.
Directed by the visionary behind 300, Zack Snyder, Watchmen is based off the 1986 comic book series of the same name. The story is set in an alternative 1985, where superheroes exist and tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union are coming to a boiling point. Rorschach, a superhero vigilante, investigates the murder of a former hero, The Comedian (Morgan), and inadvertently discovers a widespread conspiracy to kill heroes, in turn changing the course of history.
So, what would you ask Jeffrey Dean about Watchmen, Grey's and his other ventures. (Before you ask, no, we will not ask him for his phone number.)

Finally, an epic battle of global proportions has come to an end: Watchmen will arrive in theaters, as planned, on March 6.
Warner Bros. won rights to the superhero flick from Fox, which sued the studio over copyright infringement last February, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Lawyers for both companies announced Friday that the case had been settled, with Warner paying Fox an undisclosed amount of money, along with an agreement to pay the studio a percentage of revenue. Fox will no longer co-distribute the movie, nor co-own any of the Watchmen property.
The case was based on an agreement Fox claimed it had made with producer Larry Gordon in 1991. During the trial, Gordon's then-attorney said he had no knowledge of that prior agreement when he negotiated a separation from Fox in 1994.
