Morgan recently spoke about a desire to see more of Negan’s backstory, which would be a perfect subject for a spinoff from The Walking Dead. Negan has always been popular among comic book readers, and he’s a love him or hate him or love-to-hate-him figure on the show. Regardless, Morgan’s passion for his role and willingness to take on even more is wonderful to see.
Negan was captured by Rick and the other survivors during the season 8 finale of The Walking Dead, signaling a big change for the former leader of the Saviors as he becomes a prisoner. Rick and Michonne believe that keeping him alive will serve as an example for others, while Maggie, Daryl and Jesus believe that he should die for what he did.

While he might portray a divisive character on the show, the actor continues to be a main draw at conventions as fans wait for hours to meet him. Morgan is a much-beloved actor and we wish him the best on his birthday!
