Before Jeffrey Dean Morgan simultaneously hit our screens in Grey's Anatomy, Weeds, and Supernatural in the mid-2000s, he nearly gave up on being an actor. In 2015, Moves reported that Morgan had been "dumped" by his manager a decade prior, and in a brutal way no less. The actor explained that she had told him in no uncertain terms, "I'm expendable, that I'm too old, whatever it was, that I didn't have the talent." However, the setback only drove Morgan to pursue his career in Tinseltown even harder: "It was crushing. But I remember thinking, 'I've got no other option, here. What the? I can't give this up now.'"
Of course, Morgan's risk paid off. "The next day, Morgan signed with a new manager and hit a triple, scoring high-profile gigs," per Moves, on those above-mentioned shows, which would end up launching his unforgettable career — and it was a long time coming. He'd been scouted by a casting agent when he first arrived in Los Angeles, but as he told the media outlet, "Cut to 30 years later, and I can barely pay my rent, and I don't know what the f**k I've gotten into. I've got no education, and I've put all my eggs in this one stupid basket."
But that basket is looking pretty good right about now.
