Most of us worry about angering our coworkers.
Not Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
And the person he loves pissing off the most is none other than Andrew Lincoln.

But wait, allow him to explain.
Anyone that has been on set ofThe Walking Deadknows that Lincoln really gets himself into a mood before filming.
The man takes his craft very seriously.
I know Im doing my job the more mad Andy Lincoln gets, says Morgan.
And that is fun.
Well, there are a couple of things that go into why I love playing Negan, says Morgan.
One is the cast that I get to work with.
Its an amazing cast from top to bottom, and crew.
Its just a really great group to be a part of.
We really are kind of this huge family, and thankfully theyve embraced me.
Maybe not embraced my character as much, but theyve embraced me.
So thats been awesome.
Its a hell of a place to work.
We have a good time and we work hard.
Its just passionate and fun and cool.
Ive just never had more fun playing a character, Morgan admits.
Hes really complicated and its a lot of work.
A lot goes into what you will see on the screen with this character.
Negan does some horrible things, which I dont necessarily feel great about while were doing it.
But then again, reading the graphic novel and bringing him to life, it has been incredibly challenging.
And I love that challenge of bringing him to life.
And I love watching the cast reaction.
Hes talking about you, Andrew Lincoln.
