"I'm 12 years older than Jensen in reality, but I'm like 25 years older than him in intelligence, so it works out. I'm not that old, dang it.

Biography
Full name: Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Born: Friday, April 22, 1966 (Seattle, Washington)
Status: divorced (as mentioned by Jeff in his 1997 "Playgirl" magazine interview; possibly marriage annulled; ex wife: Anya Longwell; marriage was in the early 90s)
Pets: Bisou, a female 10-year-old Rottweiler mix. Bisou means 'kiss' in French. Jeff bottle-fed Bisou for a month when he first got her and takes her everywhere with him.
Jeff also had a Labrador-Chow mix called Bear. Bear is tattooed on Jeff's back.
Career
Jeff's acting career started almost by chance. He previously was oriented towards a career in graphic design, then went to LA with a friend, and never left. He had a divergence of opinion with the production team of The Burning Zone, which lead to him leaving the show. After that, his career went on with a slow pace, Jeff appeared in many TV series and a few films, but it all came together in 2004/2005, with Jeff appearing in Weeds, Supernatural and Grey's Anatomy in the same year. In all three shows, he played dead, dying and soon-to-be-dead characters, but his career has since rocketed to new levels and a number of film roles with top names (such as Uma Thurman).
Jeff was recently featured in the People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive 2007 issue.
