“Supernatural” has been a mega-popular TV show on American television for 10 years now. The series has gained a truly huge army of fans. The characters Sam and Dean Winchester are now iconic, and the actors who played them, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, have become idols for millions of fans around the world. Fans are always interested in any information about their favorites, be it his favorite dish, a new novel or biography. Jensen Ackles is no exception. His rise to fame and personal life also became public knowledge.
Jensen Ackles. Biography of his youth
The future Dean Winchester was born in Dallas, Texas on March 1, 1978. His father is a fairly famous actor Alan Roger Ackles, and his mother is Donna John Schaeffer. The Texan's ancestors included Irish, Scots and English. Yours rare name he received it from his mother, who spent a long time choosing something unusual for her son and eventually took the name of one of the authors of church hymns. From a young age, Jensen tried himself as a model in advertising for children's products. Then there was a break, and he returned to advertising at the age of 10. At school Eccles was very athletic boy, played football and lacrosse. His school biography is also varied. Jensen Ackles attended Dartmude Elementary School (1990), Apollo High School (1993) and J.H. Lloyd W. Berkner (1996).
Carier start
After school, Ackles was planning to become a physical therapist and had even submitted all the necessary documents when his friends dragged him to an acting master class, where the young talent was noticed by his future agent and manager. Having auditioned for one of the projects, Jensen had no idea how his biography would subsequently change. Jensen Ackles withdrew documents from University of Technology Texas and moved to Los Angeles, where at first he starred in small episodic roles in TV series. Ackles' first long-term and permanent work was the series "Mr. Rhodes", in which the actor starred for 18 weeks. In 1997, he was cast in the famous project “Days of Our Lives” for the role of Eric Brady. This series was a successful start to his career. For his work in this TV show, the actor received several prizes and awards. After three years, in 2000, Ackles left Days of Our Lives because he wanted to have the opportunity to try himself in other projects.
Young, handsome, talented
These qualities are always in great demand in Hollywood, so Ackles received an offer to star in the film “Never Been Kissed” with Drew Barrymore at her personal request, but due to inconsistencies in filming schedules, Jensen was unable to appear in this film. But he played in a mini-series about Marilyn Monroe called “Blonde.” Significant for Ackles' career was the role of Alec McDowell in Dark Angel, where his co-star was Jessica Alba. His filmography was then enriched by his role in the popular youth series “Dawson's Creek” (2002-2003). Jensen auditioned for the role of Clark Kent in the Superman series Smallville, and because of this he even turned down a role in the series Back from the Dead, where he could have played the boyfriend of the main actress Eliza Dushku. However, he did not pass, but after a while, in 2004, he was approved for the role of Jason Teague in the same series. The year 2005 became a turning point in the actor’s fate, when his further biography changed dramatically: Jensen Ackles received main role in the TV series Supernatural, where Jared Padalecki became his partner and brother in the script.
Filmography
In fact, the TV show about two brothers-hunters of evil spirits gave him a permanent job on television for 10 years. But the actor could not know about this for sure at that time, so he decided to try his hand at cinema as well. His first try was the short film “Trouble in Klowan”, on the set of which he met his future wife Danneel Harris. Also in 2005, he played in the horror film Soul Eater. This was his first leading role in a big movie, and he was also lucky enough to work on the same set with his father. In 2007, Jensen Ackles was cast in the role of Priestley in the comedy “Ten Inch Hero,” whose biography once again changed dramatically, because the love between his hero and Tish, played by Danneel Harris, moved from the screen to real life. And in 2009, another horror film with his participation called “My Bloody Valentine” was released. In 2010, Ackles took part in the dubbing of the animated film Batman: Under the Red Hood.
Personal life before marriage
Happy husband and father Jensen Ackles. Biography, personal life
As mentioned above, love on the screen grew into something more. Ackles and Danneel dated for 3 years, and in 2010, on May 15, a luxurious wedding ceremony for the couple took place in the actor’s hometown. Despite the fact that Danneel Harriss is also a fairly popular actress and fashion model, she took her husband’s surname after the wedding. On May 30, 2013, the Ackles couple welcomed a daughter, Justice Jay "JJ" Ackles. So handsome Jensen settled down and became an exemplary family man, just like his on-screen brother and best friend Jared Padalecki. This is short biography Jensen Ackles.
The esthete woke up, stretched freely and inadvertently woke up the classifier, who was lightly sleeping on the left side of the double brain.
And these two resolutely... no, with unshakable determination (c) set out to tell the world about their (my) aesthetic preferences.
(We agreed to choose only the most successful photos and angles and not take into account the current status: alas, everyone gets old, and not many people like it).
It was, of course, an esthete who started it.
So.
"Handsome as a man."
My aesthetic ideal, my example of perfection male beauty, my standard forforev – Dolph Lundgren.
Type: male. This is this man.
Square chin, clear cheekbones, wide-set eyes, antique lips...
Short hedgehog, cold gaze... Warrior.
A slight irony in a smile or look, slightly out of character and treacherously indicating the presence of intelligence and a sense of humor.
Here he is, handsome:
I can admire this face like a work of art. Meditatively. For a long time. Every movement, every turn of his head, every angle. Both in whole and in parts: every detail is perfect. The perfect nose line, the perfect lip pattern, the perfectly sculpted cheekbones... And my fetish, my quirk, my personal IT is a square jaw. Almost 90 degree angle of the lower jaw. I'm trudged. Both for men and for women.
Dolph... Perfect.
I admire it. I admire the power of nature to create such perfection.
Dolph is no longer young, but he is still amazing:
And one more thing: the finishing touch that turns a simple piece of art into the ultimate masterpiece: a slightly battered muzzle. Well, a little bit like that. A little bit. It's like he just got into a fight. And, of course, he won. (Well, since he’s alive, we can consider him to have won)))
It is clear that we will delicately remain silent about his acting skills, because the category of his films does little to contribute to an objective assessment. However, this worthy descendant of the Scandinavian Vikings is able to depict not only a Scandinavian iceberg with his face. Which is nice. Intelligence and humor left their mark.
And, besides, this face is so antique, classical and sculptural that every emotion expressed on it is just as classical and sculptural, and worthy of being carved in marble and cast in bronze, and placed under glass with the inscription: standard of skepticism, standard surprise, standard of rage, standard of fear...
By the way, this is precisely the expression of restrained irony and skepticism - slightly raised eyebrows, slightly closed eyes, slightly curved corners of the lips - the expression with which he looks from top to bottom (and with his height there is no other way) at every little thing that bounces, puffs up and he creates something of himself somewhere at the level of his knee - he does it absolutely amazingly. Reference.
And this guy's smile is damn charming.
100% fit into my standard. From the first season. From separate angles – just to the point of jumping up and down in your chair. The type is the same, only a little softer. And “warmer”. So... velvety.
Favorite angle - three quarters and a little from below
No, well, you can live like this, huh?
Well, then, of course, it’s complete madness.
Now Jensen is already so much “something more”... To say simply “beautiful” about him is to say less than nothing.
Jensen...
You can watch all the nuances of emotions on THIS face endlessly. Like a burning fire. Like flowing water. Like the sky with running clouds.
And admire endlessly. With every movement of the eyelashes.
Jensen...
Who can depict complete horror and the Apocalypse with one eye, and the quiet smile of Madonna at Christmas with the other...
And the rest of the face is that same Scandinavian iceberg.
Moreover, if the script requires, then at the same time.
Moreover, it doesn’t matter whether the eye is open or closed.
Moreover, if necessary, then in one silhouette...
(At this moment, the classifier, who had finally lost patience, covered the raging esthete with a blanket over his head, wrapped him tightly, and began his favorite task: classifying).
The type is the same as number one, but with a smaller caliber:
And it seems that I have liked these square jaws since childhood, since the times of clippings from Soviet Screen magazines. I remember this photo flashed in the clippings:
Vasily Lanovoy in "Scarlet Sails".
What is typical: there were no other photographs of this actor in my collections at that time. He's ugly. Doesn't match the ideal. And this one is just that favorite angle.
And by the way, since we remembered the past: another curious face: Jean Marais.
At a superficial glance, he seems to be a handsome man. But the feeling is strange: the type is the same, but either something is missing, or something is superfluous...
Not enough, not enough... Jaws are missing! Not square! And in general, if you look in detail, the face is rather rough: the nose is wide, the lips are thin, the lower eyelids are heavy...
And the excess is some kind of sweetness, or something. No. Well, something false. How can I express this... Well, Marais is a handsome man. And Dolph is a handsome man. And Jensen is a handsome man (be quiet, right-brain blonde, go back under the covers!)
But here's Dolph - it's clear from him that it's kind of more important for him that he's a man. And for Marais - that he is beautiful. Too emphasized, protruded, exploited “beauty”. The image is not “man”, but “handsome man”. And Lanovoy is the same. And in general, all the movie stars of that time were the same. Both ours and foreign ones. (And women too, but it’s more forgivable for them). It seems that this was the photographic fashion of that time.
For comparison, here's Dolph:
in jeans, in the gym, in a biker jacket, in a bulletproof vest, in armor, in blood, in dirt, unshaven... And at the same time - handsome.
And it’s clear that it’s not for the sake of beauty that he’s stuck so beautifully into the frame here. A man is busy with business, and not cherishing and demonstrating his beauty. And what is beautiful is inadvertently, a coincidence, an accident and in general - it’s not about beauty.
in jeans, in T-shirts, wrapped in a hundred layers of clothing, covered in dirt, covered in blood, unshaven, killed against the wall, thrown on the floor, digging in the ground and offal, entangled in IVs and wires, scared to death, drunk in the trash... And in any the form is beautiful.
It’s not an end in itself - beautiful, but kind of incidental. No matter how unimportant and not the point is that he is beautiful. It’s as if you can see, and understand, and feel that the meaning of his presence in the frame is not that he is beautiful, but that he is doing.
But the same cannot be said about Marais. This has the meaning of being in the frame - namely, that he is handsome. This is the feeling
In general, when you, the viewer, are forced to admire beauty, when they poke and stick out, and demand: “look, look, admire” - you want to turn away. Here's his, Jensen's, young model photos. So handsome... it’s almost embarrassing. Too revealing.
(get under the covers, finally!)
In general, I don’t like men’s glamorous, licked, staged photos “for beauty.”
James Marsden. Cyclops from X-Men.
Matt Cohen. Young PapaJohn from the Supers (in case someone doesn’t know).
And further Tom Welling. Superman from Smallville (in case someone didn’t recognize this either).
Hmmm... Dissonance of perception. Handsome, actually. But too... gentle. The smile is too cute. Not a warrior. Such a romantic prince. (And it’s hard to get rid of the image of Clark, where he is a real Ivanushka the Fool. A klutz and a hopeless romantic. Not my hero. Even the Evil image, red kryptonite, black leather and a bike don’t rid him of that sweet smile. “If he were a girl - there wouldn’t be a price for him” (c)))
And here's another thing: Alain Delon, yeah. Right here.
Special cases:
Amazing face. Amazing.
Here, for example, is Dolph: his face is perfect both as a whole and in parts.
And Cruz... Separately, there is not a single correct trait. The eyebrows are too wide, the nose is hooked, the lips are narrow, the cheekbones are blurred, the angles of the lower jaw are too heavy... Everything is wrong.
But when he moves, lives... in an unknown way, all these irregularities add up to a strikingly beautiful overall picture.
I do not like. I don't like the facial expression. More precisely, perhaps, the arrangement of the facial muscles, which in a state of rest, when a person does not depict anything, develops into a certain expression.
This is the expression on the face of an offended child.
Such a... defenseless victim.
With a face like that, you'll never get a boot in the face.
I don't like this expression on the face of an adult man.
Victimization doesn’t bother me. Not my hero.
In general, he is good.
Interesting photo. Off topic, just interesting in itself.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers
Horror.
(the esthete quietly vomits in the far corner of her skull).
I saw this in The Tudors. First reaction: “What kind of big-eared degenerate is this?” (I usually try not to think about people like that - it’s not their fault that they were born like that - and then the ethicist in me had not yet had time to wake up and suppress this thought as unworthy).
According to my criteria - a real quasimodo. Everything about this face is wrong. And entirely, and in parts, and in combination. One continuous stigma of disembryogenesis. It is also a standard in its own way. From the other end of the scale. Ideal spherical quasimodo in vacuum.
And the more surprising for me was the fact that someone (many) considers him beautiful. Not just charismatic or talented, but beautiful. Now I have another reason to practice tolerance.
In general, The Tudors is a worthy series. Colorful, luxurious, photos, again, of excellent quality. (The Photoshopper in me is rubbing his hands together greedily). I don't like anything else.
While searching for Tudor photos I found something. This means it’s a good angle... I even left it in the collection.
Keanu Reeves. David Duchovny.
Long, thin bodies, long irregular faces, bones sticking out in the wrong places, inconsistent facial features... Not mine. I don’t fall for asthenics. (“I don’t throw dice,” that’s right)))
But these characters make stylish characters. Both Neo and Konstantin. And Agent Mulder.
Close to the previous type: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom
Nervous grasshoppers with shiny eyes and small, irregular facial features.
Not mine at all. Completely misses the radar.
Jared Padalecki
Here too... below the radar. Not at all. Nothing I would call beautiful.
I was surprised... Someone (many!!!) finds him beautiful!
Okay, the first couple of seasons – there was still such an awkward teenage charm. The fawn Bambi is two meters tall. Elk calf. Puppy.
But what next?
I would have been quietly surprised if I hadn’t started looking at photos and videos from all sorts of conventions. How the camera doesn’t like him, it turns out!
There are such people - a state of rest is categorically contraindicated for them. All the irregularities are visible. They are only truly attractive when they are alive. They laugh, get angry, communicate, listen carefully, watching on their face as if on a screen what the interlocutor is saying. Taking photographs of such faces is a real punishment. You listen, you look - it’s alive. Varied. But if you stop for a moment - the mask. Ugly, at that. They need bright emotions on their faces.
Here's Alpha Sam in a rage - magnificent. Evil Sam is great.
Laughing Jared is wonderful. Just sunny. A fire filled with firecrackers.
Even just smiling is good. You simply don’t notice the irregularities.
The guilty, pleading, sorrowful expression on his face does not suit him, and this is putting it mildly.
They don’t let him smile on camera, and that’s the most beautiful thing about him.
However, the type is still under the radar.
Although some photos...
Quite a funny type of face for a man: “cat faces”.
Eikka Toppinen, the frenetic thrash cellist from Apocalyptic (how does it sound, huh? “trash cellist”...)
Yngwie Malmsteen, Forev's favorite hard guitar virtuoso
Karl Urban, Eomer from Rokhland, aka the glorious doomer Reaper
Laaapochka... At least scratch right behind your ear. Cute.
Difficult case: Southerners. Italians, Spaniards, Latinos
Adrian Paul. Oh, Highlander...
Mark Frankel. Favorite vampire from the most beloved vampire series.
Jason Momoa
Specialist Ronon Dex from Atlantis.
A very special case.
What is called, it stuck. It just clicked, jumped and sunk. Instantly. Precisely on the character (as usual, however). Both appearance and character...
Appearance, if you look closely - well, yes. It. Eye shape, eyebrow shape, favorite jaw, again. You can't see the jaw here under the beard, but it's there, for sure, I checked it from other photos. The facial features are smoother and rounder, not as hard and defined as those of the beloved Caucasian iceberg Viking Dolph; Our Jason is a Hawaiian-Polynesian, such a bright exotic tropical orchid, a Malibu lifeguard. He's a handsome guy.
And this wild orchid will be the new Conan the Barbarian, after all...
And the character of the hero... He touched something in me. Some cunning mechanism in the psyche worked...
Firstly, there is such a confident feeling that if I were a man and found myself in a similar situation... Well, this is what would come of me.
And secondly…
(Tchits, right-brain person! I know your “second” and why are you so drawn to it: it looks like your first. Imprinting. And now - a conditioned reflex. And plus a projection of similarity, that’s the whole “mechanism”)
I really like his smile! So mocking, and you can’t understand whether he’s laughing at you or at himself. Or over the situation in general.
Another indicative type.
Mel Gibson. Harrison Ford. Bruce Willis.
The type is called “ordinary man”.
Nothing special in appearance. Zero point. They attract attention neither by beauty nor by ugliness.
They are reflected in the background on the radar. Ordinary normal average men.
Invisible until they move. They won’t smile, they won’t give anything away into space. That's when...
Monstrously charismatic men, monstrous. Such powerful charisma that one simply cannot see one’s appearance.
Jason Statham. Russell Crowe. Sam Worthington
Type... um... “hello, tree.”
Repeats the previous one, but without that stunning charisma. Regular.
No, really? This last one, Worthington: and is this Perseus in the “Clash of the Titans”, the ancient hero, demigod, handsome golden-haired man? What, really? You are a Marine, Jake Sully. And don’t mess with Pegasus, don’t make people laugh.
An interesting type is “synthetic people”.
They seem beautiful. But definitely not men (it’s especially funny to watch them paired with the previous type)
Some kind of third gender or androgynous. This is how angels were painted on medieval frescoes. Synthetic genderless beauty. Doll.
Models mainly: Andrej Pejic, Paul Boche, Roger Garth, Martin Cohn, James Varley, Anatoly Elgert
The classifier dried up and fell silent: without the enthusiastic cries of an esthete, it’s boring...
And the esthete grabbed a gigabyte pile of Dean-Jensen photos, curled up on it, like a dragon on countless treasures, and, blissfully squinting and purring satiatedly, fell silent...
Jensen Ackles' childhood
The boy was born in Dallas. The parents did not immediately choose a name for their son. They wanted to give the child a name that was not the most common. Mom (Donna Joan Schaeffer) was leafing through the hymnal in church to find something original. The name of the son became the surname of one of the authors of the church hymn.From childhood, the boy grew up admiring his father, Alan Roger Eccles, who was famous actor. He has always been an idol for his son. Jensen studied the scripts and knew all his works.
Jensen has a sister and brother. It was customary in the family to go to church. The actor calls himself a non-fanatical Christian. He grew up on the teachings of the Bible and, as he himself put it in interviews, faith is always with him.
Until the age of four, the boy often appeared in children's advertising. Then there was some break, and only at the age of 10 he again continued acting in advertising.
In high school, Jensen spent a lot of time playing sports, playing on the baseball and lacrosse teams. When he started taking acting classes for fun, he was the only athlete there.
After graduating from school, the future screen star decided to go to university. He has already chosen for himself a set of disciplines in the specialization that interests him. Jensen wanted to become a physical therapist and even registered to enroll.
At that time, he was offered to star in one of the projects. The future actor went to Los Angeles to see what the fuss was all about. He passed the audition. He was offered to play a guest in the series, but he was not going to stay in the city, not wanting to deviate from his future plans. Eccles went home to consult with his parents. He always consulted with them when it was necessary to take some difficult decision. As a result, Jensen returned to Los Angeles, where he became a participant in the project, thinking that he could easily stay there for one or two semesters, and if nothing happened, he could always return home. It was September 1996.
The family supported the aspiring actor. So his grandmother sent her grandson a postcard once a week so that he wouldn’t miss home too much.
The beginning of the career of actor Jensen Ackles, filmography
The first roles were only episodic. The young actor appeared in the TV series Cybill, the comedy Mister Rhodes and Sweet Valley High. In the comedy film "Mr. Rhodes" he played a student. Jensen filmed there for eighteen weeks.This was his first permanent job, thanks to which Eccles immediately began to support himself. As he later admitted in an interview, his independent life in at a young age The actor considers it his greatest achievement in life.
Jensen Ackles and his habit)))
A year later, he appeared on Days of Our Lives, playing the role of Eric Brady. His participation in this project lasted from 1997 to 2000, until he himself decided to leave in order to be able to star in other series. Even then, he had many fans, whose letters the actor received daily.
While filming Days of Our Lives, he was invited to take part in the film Never Been Kissed. The invitation was made at the request of Drew Barrymore, who was filming there. Unfortunately, Ackles had to refuse this offer, since the shooting schedules of both films coincided.

His main partner in the project was the actor, also playing the main role, Jared Padalecki. These shootings were especially memorable for Eccles. There he became friends with Jared, although he is four years younger than him. In 2007, the actor was lucky enough to play on the same stage with Lou Diamond Phillips. The play was staged on the stage of the Casa Mañana theater in Texas, its title is “A Few Good Men.” This is how Eccles played on the theater stage for the first time.

Data:
Jensen Ackles has Irish, English and Scottish roots. Jensen's parents named him Jensen because they found other names too common and simple, like the name Justin. After Jensen was born, he remained nameless for three days. His mother looked through the psalter in the church and, finally, the surname of the author who wrote one of the church hymns was chosen in his name.
Jensen's take on faith:
I consider myself a non-fanatical Christian. I grew up in church, with the teachings of the Bible, and I still hold my faith close to me. (But at the same time, Dean’s character himself can be called a 100% skeptic regarding religion, because he only believes in Demons).
What's so Texan about Jensen:
I'm from Texas and I'd like to do some old-fashioned Western gun-slinging (we're talking about Western gun-slinging, which is something every self-respecting cowboy would be honored to do).
Jensen's favorite time of year:
- Autumn (but Jensen previously answered that it was: “Definitely Christmas - vacation, cold, lights, air!”, as well as New Year's Eve 1999, which Jensen spent with his close friends in Texas).
Jensen on his qualities:
Its best quality:
- My best trait is that I am patient, and this makes it easier for me to live with.
His worst quality:
- I'm very, very competitive, especially in video games.
- I was often afraid out of uncertainty, but now I am getting above it.
What he dislikes most about his appearance:
- Hair.

“Snack” for the night:
- Dark chocolate and animal crackers (Jensen's previous snacks include Gummi Bears and Fruit Smoothies)
Gummy Bear Cookies for Jensen:
- I'm a crazy Gummy fan. I always have a Gummy in my trailer. But you can't eat a lot of them, because then you get a belly just like Gummy, and that doesn't make sense. I can't believe I'm saying this out loud.
Least favorite dish:
- Sushi.
The first thing Jensen would do when visiting New York:
- I would probably run into “Ray’s pizza”... (“Ray’s Pizza”)
If this was the last time he ate in his life:
- ...the biggest steak and the biggest potatoes you could possibly have. And I would share it with my family.
About sport:

Favorite TV Shows:
- "Practice". Previously - “West Wing”, and Jensen dislikes shows of a scandalous nature, for example, like the J. Springer show.
“Loveless” by Jensen Ackles:
Biggest concern:
- Change (become different). Also professional promotion in Hollywood... Ackles is not particularly keen on this
Jensen gets angry:
- Late arrivals, late visits, business interruptions, unforeseen obstacles (Jensen gave the same answer earlier).
Jensen's most hated part of homework:
- Cleaning the toilet. With three guys in one house, it can be a little disgusting (we're probably talking about a long time ago when Jensen didn't have his own place and was forced to share a roof with several guys).
Why Jensen doesn't want to participate in some reality shows (while many have already been on them):
- You know... I wrote a long explanation of what I thought about this, in my opinion... but I decided not to voice it, because it’s all about how our world and reality are already corrupted enough, plus - I can get enough of it from newspapers and news... I love watching TV. And films to remove yourself from reality into a fictional world. Why do you think we read fictional books and stories in school? To expand our knowledge and creativity. You don't really get that from watching reality contestants.
Jensen Ackles Talents:
Nobody knows what Jensen can do:
- ......belly dancing............. I'm just kidding.... no, seriously (in his early answers Jensen said: “Nobody knows that I can sing” - he plays on guitar and sings.His vocal abilities were appreciated by fans in the series “Supernatural” and at some meetings with fans, as well as those who listen to John Manns records).
What would be surprising to know about him:
- I make better fruit smoothies than anyone else
Biggest achievement:
- Independent life in Los Angeles.
Jensen Ackles Career:
Jensen's first television appearance was in “Wishbone”; At that time he was still in High School.
The coolest thing Jensen has ever done:
- Graduated from High School and moved to Los Angeles (to become an actor) in 1996.
How Jensen became interested in acting:
- My father is an actor in Dallas. I grew up surrounded by his work - not in the sense that I was immersed in it all the time, I was just familiar with his work, saw and studied the scripts (to this day, Jensen’s main idol is his father, who provides support and advice to his son , shares his experience).
How Jensen became a discovery:
- When I was a sophomore, a friend asked me to go with him to a local audition. Two guys (Ackles' future manager Craig Vogo and agent Michael Einfeld) were very interested in me and wanted me to go to Los Angeles. But I wanted to finish High School first before anything like that. I figured they would just forget about me, but they stuck around for two years.
How he decided to come to California:
- Before I received higher education, I came to Los Angeles for literally two weeks to see what they were talking about (we are talking about a project where Jensen was offered a role). I was already registered for admission to the University of Technical College. I had the whole range of disciplines, I even chose a profile. However, I went to my first audition, a guest role in Sweet Valley High. I auditioned for an "independent film" but I wasn't able to do it because I wasn't going to stay in town long enough. After that, my manager and agent told me that I should be here. I was still quite skeptical, so I went home and talked to my parents. I always consult my parents when I ask the question: “What should I do?” I ended up deciding to stay here for a semester or two. If nothing had happened, I would have returned home. I was here in September 1996.
How I got into “Days of Our Lives”:
- I started auditioning for Days of Our Lives on April 1st, but didn't actually act on tape until July. And on my first day, I entered the dressing room, where there was a stack of letters, about 50 envelopes, waiting for me from fans. It was a little overwhelming. I walked around thinking, “This can’t be my room,” but it was. It was crazy. I read each letter individually.
Jensen auditioned for the role of Eric on Days of Our Lives alongside Christy Clark (photo), who would play his sister. However, in the scene they acted out, Christie was not his sister and they were supposed to kiss.
First real breakthrough in Hollywood:
- I first tried my hand at comedy on NBC in “Mr. Rhodes". I played Malcolm, one of the students. This lasted 18 weeks. It was really cool to get my first full-time job. I was able to support myself right away.
Impressions from the first filming of “Days of Our Lives”:
- My first scenes were with Drake Hogestyn and Deidre Hall (John and Marlena). They were both very nice. They came up to me, introduced themselves, and said, “Welcome to the family.” This made me feel at home.
Failed project:
Jensen was supposed to play the role of Michael Vartan in the film “Never Been Kissed” at the special request of Drew Barrymore, but, unfortunately, he was unable to take part in this project due to a scheduling conflict between the new project and the already launched “Days.” our lives."
Memorable moment for Jensen in his career:
- Working with James Cameron (in Dark Angel).
Jensen's impressions of the underwater stunt in Supernatural:
An underwater stunt with holding your breath was performed with the participation of a 10-year-old actor.
- Before this stunt, I didn’t know what it was like to be held underwater against your will, but it’s a very disturbing feeling... Holding your breath long enough for the camera to rotate was very mentally difficult. I held the life of my 10-year-old co-star in my hands.
Jensen on his injuries while filming Supernatural:
- I get into the shower, and it will be something like this: “Stop!” I'll find a new scrape, scratch or bruise... I'll feel it on my elbow and think, “Oh, amazing!”
What Jensen has to say about Dean and Sam:
- Our characters never know who or what they will be dealing with in any given case. They live their lives in uncertainty and not a little fear.
What Jensen likes most about his job:
- What I enjoy most is traveling to different places and meeting new people. All this is important for me, it is a new experience, new knowledge about life, and I am very grateful that my work allows me to do so many interesting things.
Jensen on the script:
- This is a little scary... David Winkler, the son of famous director Irwin Winkler, is in charge of the process, filming is going on - it's always such a tricky situation... I think the existing script is completed, but it is being rewritten during filming. This extends the whole process somewhat longer than one might imagine.
Jensen's favorite episode of Supernatural:
- "Home" This served good push for the future fate of Dean and Sam.
Jensen's impressions of filming Supernatural:
- While working on the show, I'm learning what all this stuff means... like white spots or some kind of electromagnetic waves, or crackling noises, dim lights and all that stuff that we deal with every day. And when I'm in a hotel room, it gets really cool when the lights start flickering... the acquired reflex kicks in: "Okay! Where are my weapons and salt when I need it..."
Jensen on his roles:
- I really wanted to get every role that I chose to audition for... If I didn’t want to, I wouldn’t get it.
Some facts from acting career Jensen:
The theme of many of Jensen's acting works is in one way or another connected with evil spirits. Thus, in the television series “Days of Our Lives,” the hero’s mother was possessed by the devil; in the film "Soul Eater" his character was the son of Satan; in the television series Supernatural, Jensen's character fights the creatures of evil. In one of the episodes of “Supernatural” - “Scarecrow”, Jensen and Jered Padalecki fought over an apple between takes to brighten up the anticipation. While filming the episode "Bugs", Jensen was repeatedly stung by bees.
- Clones story: In "Dark Angel", Jensen's character, Alec, has a clone who becomes a killer in the sequence. In Supernatural, Dean is attacked by a monster who takes the form of Dean and does evil to people in his name.
Jensen starred in the film Soul Eater with his father Alan.
Jensen auditioned for the role of Kent Clark in Smallville, but lost out to Tom Welling. However, he got the role of Jason Teague; he and Kristin Krek (photo) had a spontaneous mutual sympathy during the listening process.
In 2004, Jensen was the executive producer of the film “The Plight of Clownana”.
Jensen was offered the role of Eliza Dushku's boyfriend (photo) in the series "Back from the Dead", I myself wanted to get a role in "Smallville". Ultimately, the role of boyfriend went to Eric Christian Olsen (photo).
Jensen has appeared in three WB projects: Dawson's Creek, Smallville and Supernatural.
Jensen Ackles and his entourage:
Jensen is friends with his real Supernatural co-stars, especially Jared Padalecki and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Jensen is rumored to be friends with Jessica Simpson (photo) - they both lived in Texas. Jensen also maintains friendship with country singer LeAnn Rimes (photo). She asked Jensen to be her partner at one of the awards ceremonies. But both say that they are only friends (note: LeeAnne is married). Jensen is also on good terms with Alona Tal and Christian Kane (photo).
Jensen's opinion about his main partner in the series, Jered Padalecki:
- When Jered and I met, we immediately became friends. He's five years younger than me, so that was great. I knew that it would fuel my desire to be a big brother, and he knew that it would fuel his desire to be a little brother - we simply and quickly fell into the same rhythm... I try to corrupt the little guy, but sometimes I have to respect his relationship with actress Sandra McCoy (photo).
What gives him strength:
- Family support (Jensen's grandmother sent him messages and cards once a week so he wouldn't get homesick while he was busy filming Days of Our Lives).
Jensen on his father:
- I turn to my dad a lot. He gives me very important advice. And he has the best sense of humor. He is my hero.
The quality Jensen loves most in a co-star:
- Sense of humor.
Jensen on fans:
- The fans are very cool. And they are avid fans of the genre. When they approach us, the conversations aren't necessarily about something personal about us - they're about work... It's very flattering.
Jensen on women:
- My friends and I say “He Who Has IT”: sarcasm, highly intelligent humor. Ultimately, someone you can relate to and be close to. Someone who can laugh at your jokes may sound bad, but someone who can be your best friend can also be your crush.
I love the smell of shampoo on a girl's hair. You may be walking past someone and suddenly: “Wow, you took a shower this morning, didn't you?” Because you smell wonderful!”
What Jensen likes about women's clothing:
- Dressed differently: blue jeans and a tight top are super sexy. But the sexiest thing on a girl is when I see it, I'm like, "Oh my God!" - men's wide briefs (similar to boxing briefs). Don't get me wrong, G-strings are great, but that wrap is too small to cover what you need...
Jensen's best gift to a woman:
- It was a ring with pearls according to my sketch, which I ordered for her. I also chose the pearls myself.
Fun "features" of Jensen:
The last thing he does before he goes to bed:
- I read prayers...
First thing Jensen does in the morning:
Jensen received the title of "Sexiest Ghostbusters" in 2005, as did his co-star Jered Padalecki.
Memories of Jensen Ackles:
Memorable event from school days:
- When I was in High School, some of my so-called friends found photos in a catalog for which I posed in Superman pajamas. They made as many copies as they could and pasted them all over the school...
Worst gift Jensen ever gave:
- The worst gift I ever gave a girl was a suitcase for Christmas. It went something like this: “I couldn’t figure out what to give you, but... here’s a new suitcase.” And a little later I was worried: “What were you thinking, idiot?”
Memory that confuses Jensen:
- I was about 13 years old at the time, and I participated in a photo shoot for a catalogue. Filming took place on the territory of one educational institution. I was wearing jeans about three sizes too small, so they were bunched up at the “back” and ended up tearing my leg when I leaned too hard on one leg. From the front everything looked great, but from the back……… Suddenly the bell rang and the students poured out into the street… And at that time I stood with my bare “rear”… It was not funny.
First kiss:
- I was still a preschooler (up to 7 years old), and one girl kissed me on the cheek. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what that meant, so I immediately grabbed her face and kissed her on the lips. But the girl immediately pulled away from me.
Extreme case with a fan:
- Sometimes, if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time... and you walk out of a bar, and some guy's girlfriend recognizes you... Then her boyfriend starts getting emotional - which can be a bad thing. This happened to me and Jered once.
