Jeffrey Dean Morgan knows the Hollywood struggle, having grinded for several years before finally booking his breakout roles on Grey’s Anatomy, Supernatural and Weeds.
But the actor, who most recently starred in Prime Video’s new series Sterling Point, told host Josh Horowitz on a new episode of his Happy Sad Confused podcast that his former manager fired him right before he landed these shows due to his age.
“I remember being in my mid-30s going, ‘This didn’t work out,'” the now 60-year-old recalled. “And my manager had just fired me right before I got the three shows. I’d been with her forever. And she was like, ‘You’ve aged out, bro. You missed your window.’ And she got rid of me and Max Martini at the same time and said the same thing to both of us.”
Fortunately for Morgan, but unfortunately for his manager, that’s when the actor finally received the calls every actor dreams of.
