Meet the face of death:


Denny Duquette, Judah Botwin, William, Detective Cole Davies. Jeffrey Dean Morgan has spent much of his acting career either playing a dead guy, replacing a dead guy or chasing a dead guy. It occurred to me last night while the ghost of Denny was fucking Dr Izzie Stevens that this guy gets to barely memorize lines, smile (melt!), and do a sex scene with a smoking hot actress. He does the exact same thing on one of my other favorite shows, Weeds, during multiple flash back scenes. What a sweet gig! In PS I Love You (a over-the-top estrogen fest glorifying the death of a husband) Jeffrey plays the guy who falls in love with the widow, replacing the dead guy. Again: 1.)smile 2.)have a sex scene with a beautiful woman. Good for him. As Detective Cole Davis in Chasing Ghosts Jeffery is chasing a murderous dead guy. Not as romantic and arguably harder to sell as an actor, but still death-based.

Who knew the face of death would be so chiseled?
