Jeffrey Dean Morgan would be a good candidate to appear on an episode of 'Who Do You Think You Are?'. We suspect he'd find out that he actually has some Spanish ancestry. He might also find out that he's directly related to Javier Bardem. It would explain why they look like they're cousins, at the very least! Both of them wear their beard and hair the same way, and they're going gray at the same time, which only adds to the similarities.
Morgan was actually a basketball prospect in high school, but had his athletic prospects limited by a severe knee injury. Fortunately, it hasn't stopped him from running away from zombies in 'The Walking Dead'. Bardem's first love was actually painting, and he only started acting to help himself pay the bills, but gradually fell in love with the profession.
