Jensen CW Connect: Part 1

Kimiit: Just how much do you know ahead of time about what’s happening to your character? Is it script to script?

Jensen: Well Kimiit, I do kind of read it just script to script. And yes, Kripke keeps things very close to the vest and doesn’t like to tell us much because he likes to keep us guessing just as much as he likes to keep you guys guessing. In being, playing one of the characters in the show, I’m also a fan of the show when it comes to reading it.

Starlite04: If you were to create a Supernatural episode, what would it be about?

Jensen: Well Starlite04, if I could create one, I probably would – you probably would never see it because writing and creating is something that our writers do and they do very well. And to try and compete with that? I’d be an idiot.

eleven21983: We’ve heard that you guys do a lot of your own stunts, which was your favorite and why?

Jensen: I’m going to take the time to quote Harrison Ford. He recently said that he doesn’t do stunts when asked about doing all his own stunts; he said that he runs, jumps, and falls down. Stuntmen do stunts. My favorite running, jumping, falling down scene – or sequence – was in the alley when Gordon and Kubrick were shooting at me, and I went jumping off of a wooden crate onto a car, onto a dumpster, and over into the second story of a parking complex. And it was funny because my stunt guy came on and he did it once and he slipped, and I was like, ‘Hey Todd. Why don’t you sit this one out, I’ll do it.’ And I did it better than him, I was pretty proud of myself.

bestshowfan: There seems to be quite a few scenes with children. How is the atmosphere on the set different when they’re around?

Jensen: You know, I remember the first time we had kids on we had this little kid named Nico. It was the third, third or fourth episode in the first season. And it was the little red-headed kid that I saved in the lake, and it was just so much fun. The energy they just bring on set is cool and the crew loves palling around and a lot of these guys have kids themselves, so they’re very welcome here.

kwamelink: What have been some of your favorite songs featured on Supernatural?

Jensen: I got to say my favorite music cue was in last season, episode Nightshifter. At the very end of the episode, Sam and Dean are walking out of the bank dressed in full S.W.A.T. gear, and the song Renegade by Styx came on. That was probably my favorite one so far.

DudeUFugly: Kim Manners said that if you were dogs, you would be Rin Tin Tin and Jared would be Pluto. Do you agree? What would Kim be?

Jensen: Well DudeUFugly – nice, nice tag there. Yeah, Kim did say that. And I couldn’t agree with him more. And if Kim was going to be a dog, I’d have to say he’d be Benji. Because he’s so little and cute.

Jensen CW Connect: Part 2

Yanks4Life23519: Do you enjoy shooting funny episodes or scary episodes more?

Jensen: The funny episodes are obviously, you know, those are always fun to shoot. I have a good time with those. But generally, on this show, being funny for Dean requires me to either eat a lot of food, or do some physical comedy. Which, you know, I get banged up, so I do pay the price for it. And then the scary episodes, those are fun too. Those are, I think that’s what we do, those are our bread and butter. I’d say the hardest shows are the emotional shows. Being physical in a role and doing stunts and things like that, that will beat you up physically. Might have some cuts and bumps and bruises and stuff. But when you dive into emotional scenes, it really takes a toll on you emotionally and that’s – at the end of the day you’re just drained, and so tired.

ohiofan30: Jensen you do a great job of making Dean funny. Would you ever consider doing comedy?

Jensen: Well ohiofan30, yes. I do enjoy doing comedy. It’s one of the aspects to the character that really drew me to the character and which is why I enjoy playing him so much is the comedic aspect of him. To be able to expand on that and actually do something in a comic realm, it would be a lot of fun.

jensenlvr86: We have heard you sing a couple of times in the series. Are there any plans to further a career in singing?

Jensen: Uh, yeah, singing kind of happened by accident a few times, and they’ve written it in a few more times. But it’s funny because I actually try to make an effort to not carry a note well with Dean, because I just don’t think Dean would sing that well. So if you enjoy bad singing, then maybe he’ll sing some more. But I don’t think it’s necessary.

BadCompany: What’s been the best food you have had the opportunity to try on the show?

Jensen: Well BadCompany, the best food that I’ve – that Dean has eaten, I would have to say would be probably the taquitos that I had in Hollywood Babylon last season. But I would say that the food I generally eat, it doesn’t taste very good. So, come about the third or fourth take? I’m not a happy guy.

Jran666: Do you find it strange that the Impala could one day achieve Batmobile-like cult status?

Jensen: Well Jran666, The Impala is – I think it already has “Batmobile Status” to be honest with you. I’m a bit partial, you know, I think that thing can do anything it wants to. Mind you I’d have to be behind the wheel. But, I don’t know, it definitely is the third character to the show and it wouldn’t be the same show without it.

RunawayRunway: The Impala and Sam are thrown into some quicksand. Who does Dean save first?

Jensen: Well RunawayRunaway, if The Impala’s going down and Sam’s going down at the same time in the quicksand? I’m going to have to get the car out first. You know, because sand could get in the engine and mess it up, that whole thing. Sam can just take a shower.
