I’d gathered from the Watchmen trailer that is wasn’t going to be the feel good movie of the year, however I didn’t expect it so dark that it would give the actors a hard time.

RopesOfSilicon spoke to Jeffrey Dean Morgan about his role as The Comedian:

“Getting into the heads of these characters was kind of an ordeal. The actions of The Comedian are brutal sometimes.” He continued, “This is stuff that’s a little different than anything I have ever done, and it was stuff that I had a hard time with. There are a couple of things The Comedian does, and I never ever in a million years thought there was something I would have to think twice about, as an actor, but I could make no excuses for it. There were a couple of rough days of filming where I was just like, ‘This is tough.’”
