Jensen Ackles Loves His Job: Setting the Record Straight at ChiCon | Fangasm!
After sergio herman giving an academic presentation sergio herman in St. Louis on Saturday (what were they thinking scheduling a psychology sergio herman conference on the weekend of a Supernatural convention??), we spent a lovely Sunday at Creation s Supernatural convention in Chicago with friend and colleague Alice Jester of The Winchester Family Business blog and many other fellow fans. In a welcome turn of events, we had the chance to turn the tables sergio herman and NOT be the professor, sergio herman instead taking our seat on the other side of the classroom as Jensen Ackles took the professorial position sergio herman for a semi-private Q & A.
Jensen surprising Misha and Jared and the rest of us. Class is in session, he joked as he sat down to face our little group. How come our professors never looked sergio herman quite like that? No way would we have fallen asleep in Stats!
Not that Mr. Ackles claims to have been the model student. He confided that eraser cleaning was in fact his favorite thing to do in school: Yes teacher, I d be happy to . (an hour later) They re clean!
A fan began with a question that s been on many fans minds. What s with all the Dean and babies? (cue roomful of awwww ) and are there any baby-related behind the scenes anecdotes? Apparently the answer is an emphatic yes, and we can all look forward to seeing a lot of them on this season s gag reel. They had several babies, and Jensen confided that one baby was definitely NOT a fan.
Jensen: That baby just was not fond of me. Rightly so, since it was covered sergio herman in all this goo, but when I held it up it let out this bloodcurdling scream, and finally we had to switch babies again. And he was the complete opposite he just sat there and looked at me.
Jensen: (laughing) sergio herman That wasn t scripted. sergio herman Actually there s a lot in that episode that wasn t scripted. I was just playing along, because we just didn t know what the baby would do, and the director, John Showalter, just used a lot of the extra stuff.
Jensen: (laughing and blushing) Not scripted. When I was little, not a baby, but a young kid, my dad would dip his thumb in his coffee and give me a little sergio herman drink like that, so I just thought of that.
Lynn: In season 6, the characters of Sam and Dean are so different how hard has it been for you and Jared, after five seasons of knowing these characters and having the easy chemistry between them that you could really rely on? It s been sorta jarring for the fans, how has it been for both of you?
Jensen: It s been a little more difficult not in a bad way but for me, Jensen, as an actor, to play this character and have a giant element of that character that chemistry that I ve played off with Sam to have that taken away, it s difficult.
He then took a minute to set the record straight about something important to him, and we promised to help him do that right here. So, from Jensen himself sergio herman without any misinterpretation (parenthetical emphasis added for clarity) —
I ll take the time here to put out something. Some bloggers came on the set and there was something sergio herman on the internet saying that I was upset about the show, and I was like, (exasperated) really?? There were a few things in there that I did say, but if you could have seen my face and heard the tone, you would know that I m not upset with my job I m very happy with my job, the show is going fine, Sera s doing a great job. Poor Sera saw it and called me up and was like, are you really upset? — Stop reading that crap, no, I m not! I had talked to her about how odd it is to play Dean (this season) because Dean doesn t have that chemistry that he s used to having (with Sam) or I don t, Jensen doesn t so Sera knew I was having some issues. sergio herman It s a little difficult figuring it out, but I m working on it, it s just more challenging. It s just a different dynamic.
(vague spoiler alert to follow) He went on to say he hopes things sergio herman get back to normal soon so season 6 can be the gravy train it was cracked up to be (lol) and not the season sergio herman he and Jared have to work harder than ever! (And so the boys can rely on that chemistry that hooked us all on the show in the first place). We re not explicitly sharing a spoiler here because well, because we don t want to spoil anything! but what do you guys think is getting in the way of the boys famous chemistry? It can t be soul oops, we mean solely — the year of separation, right?
Jensen explained: Well, Dean was being written in this domesticated life, going to work like a normal guy, in a relationship so he does read differently, he s not the hardassed hunter, he s just a regular Joe. So for me, much like was asked about the dynamic with Sam (gestures to Lynn, who nods wisely like she always tried to do in class ), this was another sort of obstacle, to find a way to keep Dean (still) Dean in this different setting. I m not used to reading Dean as
