I've find an old interview from Jared and Jensen from Mee Vee the
January 24, 2007MeeVee Exclusive! Interview with Supernatural's Jared Padalecki and Jensen AcklesThe CW's Supernatural certainly has one of the toughest time slots in
television. Still, it still manages to hold onto a devoted hardcore
following. If you don’t believe us, just check out the more than 20,000
blogs devoted to stars Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester) and Jensen
Ackles (Dean Winchester), and the hundreds of videos available on
YouTube. This year the series has delved deeper into its mythology,
introducing a whole new world of hunters and exploring the Winchester
brothers’ destiny. MeeVee's own Supernatural being Steve Czarnecki sat
down with the two busy stars of the show inbetween tapings, during
their recent California TCA press tour to capture this exclusive
interview.
Is there a big difference between this second season and the show's first?Jared Padalecki: We
both feel it’s a better series [now] than Season One. There’s a lot to
be proud of in Season One, but we wanted Season Two to be better. We
learned from a lot of mistakes in Season One, so we’re taking more
chances and trying to step up the game a little bit. We kill ourselves
to give it maturity and sophistication. In Season One, we were just
worried about not making it a horror movie every week. This year we’re
focused on the characters and giving them depth, complexity, and
intricate storylines.
How is the series progressing toward those goals?Jensen Ackles: I
think it’s going really well. At the beginning, I was concerned about
where it was going to go. It seems to be all going, though, according
to plan, like a giant road map -- which helps us as actors to be
consistent from week to week. I’m thrilled with the way things are
going, and I know it’s just getting better.
Jared: I’m also very happy with
how the season is progressing. I think in the first season, there’s a
learning curve for everybody -- the actors are finding the characters,
the writers are trying to figure out what works, who’s doing what with
dialogue and story. Recently, we’ve been working harder and pushing the
envelope. You can really feel now that it’s a well-oiled machine.
Every fan of the show wants to know how the car always gets fixed up each episode?Jensen: It’s
Supernatural! (laughter)
Are you finding that there’s a crossover of Supernatural fans who were avid X-Files watchers?Jensen: Oh yeah, I’ve definitely run into fans who were big watchers of
X-Files who are now fans of
Supernatural. I think it’s really the duo journey…like David [Duchovny] and Gillian [Anderson], but Jared is much better looking than Jillian. (laughter)
How much of the show’s success is the relationship of the brothers versus the supernatural?Jensen:Ninety-nine percent is the relationship between us guys, and the other
one percent is what the writers cook up, like vampires and bugs.
With that kind of pressure, how’s the chemistry between you guys, off camera and on?Jared:It’s pretty effortless. We’re pretty similar and have similar
interests, same hobbies. We’re both very laid-back guys. We take our
work very seriously, and we like to work on our characters and like to
have a good time. We keep the mood on the set fun. We just click. We
have a fantastic time, we have a fantastic crew in Vancouver, and it’s
all been very organic.
Jensen: I think it’s also just
the common love we share for the show. We really look out for each
other when we’re working with guest directors, and I think we just
truly want this to be a great program. It’s very neat to have that
relationship with a costar, very rare.
You told us earlier that you worked until 3:30 a.m. this morning. What do you eventually do in your rare off time in Vancouver?Jared: We
don’t have a lot of down time. That’s not a pity party or anything, we
just work a lot. My dogs are up there, so I spend time with my dogs.
Sometimes my girlfriend comes up or I’ll come down [to visit her], and
work on the script. Even between episodes, you go from finishing an
episode on Wednesday and say, “Whew, another one down! I feel good
about our work – let’s go have a Coors Light or something.” Then on
Thursday, I get handed another 60-page script I have to get used to. So
it’s really a lot of work for nine months out of the year. Sometimes
the week is a blur, and I realize I forgot to call my mom -- I mean,
she might be dead or something. No, there’s not a lot of down time.
Jensen: It is a full, full-time job.
Fans of Battlestar Galactica
will be happy to hear that Tricia Helfer is making an appearance on an
upcoming show. Any other cool guest stars we should watch for?Jared: Besides Tricia, as we gear
up for the season finale we’re told they’ll be bringing back various
characters who have already made an appearance on the show.
What about Amber Benson? She seemed to be an instant fan favorite.Jensen:We would love to have Amber back, but there are no plans as of yet. We
love the character and would love to see her again. But Emmanuelle
Vaugier is coming to do an episode -- Episode 17, I think -- where she
has lots of hot sex with Jared.
That bedroom reference is a perfect segue
to our last question. You work on a show with all kinds of scary stuff
-- do you ever have any weird or scary dreams?Jensen:Nah, I don’t. I mean, when you break these stories down, they becomes
sort of businesslike. That thing that goes bump in the night is just a
story problem for us, so I don’t think it affects us in that way.
Jared: I don’t think for me
either, but as far as the show goes, I love nothing more than hearing
somebody say, “Man, it really scared me -- I had to turn away.” Our
guest actress Tricia Helfer was talking about a few episodes, and she
was like, “Literally I jumped, like, my husband threw food on the
floor. I screamed and it scared me.” And it’s so funny to me, because
we’re sitting there staring at a piece of tape on the floor or
something and running away, and we see it all happen, and we know. I
watch the show sometimes and I’m like, “I remember there was a boom
[microphone] guy right between my legs.” But I love hearing about
scaring people or giving them nightmares, or that they can’t watch it.
It'll be nice from you to translate this interview it's about season 1 and 2, I've look if this interview is in the forum but I didn't find it, maybe I'm wrong, it's better to look it before. Have a good day.
