1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,678
when when I was in high school um I I

2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:05,959
did stage plays and was called forensics

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,119
now forensics is like speech and debate

4
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:10,999
but it's also you can do duet scenes you

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,598
can do dramatic scenes humorous scenes

6
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:14,838
and you have to play so many different

7
00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:17,319
characters and I actually felt that my

8
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,999
what talk about a crime savior not that

9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,479
not that I actually feel like uh I

10
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,559
actually feel like forensics helped me

11
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,999
more for TV and movies than stage ever

12
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,639
possibly could have because it's more

13
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,079
about finding the minutia and the

14
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,078
characters you know it's not like here I

15
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:35,238
am there's nothing really Shelly about

16
00:00:35,239 --> 00:00:37,439
it um it's more about differentiating

17
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:38,839
characters like you do dramatic or

18
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,319
humorous or you do yeah so you play

19
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,878
multiple characters and so really trying

20
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:45,078
to find not just the level of I got to

21
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:46,679
make a funny

22
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,959
face it's more than just the voice it's

23
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,878
more kind of the mannerism so I feel

24
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:53,279
like specifically with Supernatural

25
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,038
which is so Biz you know how you you're

26
00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:56,839
like I took Latin in school I'm like

27
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,869
never going to use this

28
00:01:01,879 --> 00:01:04,198
but now I've used Latin and now because

29
00:01:04,199 --> 00:01:06,599
of Supernatural I've had to go play

30
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,879
different characters like Gabriel and so

31
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,239
to to break part of the things you do in

32
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,719
forensics is You'll Play one character

33
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,199
and character is talking to his dad and

34
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,519
then you cut you know like kind of from

35
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,559
body to tonation so I feel like

36
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,999
specifically forensics in school really

37
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,919
helps you prepare for shows like

38
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,279
Supernatural but good luck planning on

39
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,599
doing a show like Supernatural in the

40
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,639
future yes

41
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,199
is where where you really want to be and

42
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,239
take Latin do the uh the exorcism

43
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,270
awesome oh thank you so much yeah have

44
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,078
fun hi um first of all asor I just

45
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:48,158
wanted to tell both that you put on such

46
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:51,879
amazing performance um the the small

47
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,118
from the small to the large it's very

48
00:01:54,119 --> 00:01:56,919
inspiring to me and I I draw a lot of

49
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,559
insiration as I as I try to grow um

50
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,279
and my question for both of you is U

51
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,798
what has presented the greatest

52
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:06,879
challenge for both of you guys actors

53
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,038
over the course of the show and how do

54
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:12,759
you think You' grown since the first

55
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,958
season question that's a great one for

56
00:02:17,959 --> 00:02:20,598
question that's a great one for
Jensen yeah let me take that

57
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:24,119
that's uh I think one of the one of the

58
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,839
biggest challenges um and Jared's

59
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,639
probably had he's been surface a lot

60
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:34,039
more than I have is having to play

61
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,759
different characters with it but still

62
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,039
keeping it within the vein of your

63
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,119
character uh one of the one of the more

64
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,719
difficult ones for me was the season 4

65
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,039
uh um when we got glimpse into the

66
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,359
future and saw a future team uh talking

67
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,559
with present team and there was to

68
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,919
slightly put the slight variance on F

69
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,598
you know on the future and still keep it

70
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:01,919
with in the same vein of char those kind

71
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:05,119
of challenges uh I think we we really

72
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,399
enjoy those challenges they're tough uh

73
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,719
and we probably don't enjoy them while

74
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,839
we're doing them but afterwards we can

75
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,318
look back and reflect on it and be like

76
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:13,798
wow that was great it was challenging I

77
00:03:13,799 --> 00:03:15,679
actually got better as an artist doing

78
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,759
that uh so I think the the challenging

79
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,518
things are the things that push us to

80
00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:22,999
make us better uh directing is also one

81
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,639
for me I know that it's uh it's a it's

82
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:27,719
just a totally different mind frame from

83
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,359
the acting uh

84
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,318
it's with acting I'm responsible for my

85
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:37,158
character and bringing that to life the

86
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:39,399
best that I can as a director I'm

87
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,399
responsible for the entire show and

88
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,119
bringing that to life so it's it's a bit

89
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,199
of a a Brain Buster but those are the

90
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,999
kind of things I feel like if I'm

91
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,039
uncomfortable and I'm out of my comfort

92
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,318
zone in a way that forces me to uh to

93
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:58,559
think harder to push myself uh than that

94
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,399
is that that is the gratification I will

95
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,919
end up getting in the end so it's even

96
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,518
though it may be uncomfortable and I may

97
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:07,878
be like why did I agree to do this this

98
00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:10,559
is the stupidest idea by the end of it

99
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,598
when I'm done it's like I'm glad I can H

100
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:14,999
my hat on that cuz I earned that so

101
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,129
that's the kind of

102
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,758
[Music] stuff mine is actually entirely

103
00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:24,439
stuff mine is actually entirely
different and has nothing to do with the

104
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,519
actual work uh I'm sorry the actual

105
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,198
performance mine is legitimately uh um

106
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:33,918
remembering that I am where I want to be

107
00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:35,399
and I'll explain a little bit like when

108
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,758
I was doing season me specifically I

109
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:39,559
don't know if it was life initates art

110
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,038
or something and I was just feeding off

111
00:04:41,039 --> 00:04:43,279
of Sam Winchester not wanting to be

112
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,399
there but I missed my family I missed my

113
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,359
friends I missed my dogs I missed my

114
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,839
house you know what I mean you were a

115
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:51,198
child I was a child I was yeah and you

116
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:53,879
know I didn't get Jared kind of learned

117
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,679

00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:04,599
I'd go play i' go to San Antonio visit

122
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,478
my family I'd go to Vegas you know like

123
00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:09,399
I I sort of was living the high life and

124
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,879
then when we got Supernatural and they

125
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,918
warned us they're like listen guys this

126
00:05:12,919 --> 00:05:14,519
is going to be a lot of hard work we're

127
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,719
like yeah yeah this is going to be a lot

128
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,038
of hard work like you're away who knows

129
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:20,599
when you're going to shoot and as it was

130
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,119
we got moved to Canada and I I was a

131
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,198
good student I didn't even know where

132
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,038
Vancouver was I was like Tomo you mean you just

133
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:31,399
was I was like Tomo you mean you just
pronouncing it um

134
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,679
so so for me it was it was remembering

135
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,519
to to really enjoy the work um there's a

136
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,239
great Muhammad Ali where he talks about

137
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,679
the fight isn't one in the ring the

138
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,839
fight is one on the streets when you're

139
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:45,559
jogging when you're training when you're

140
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,399
practicing and it's all that hard work

141
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,999
that goes into the finished product that

142
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,679
it took me it was like a secet swim

143
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,758

um well I I will I'll say that what we

192
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,879
do of Supernatural and and actually go

193
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,719
back to answer her question it's roughly

194
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,479
door too I'd say an average 16 hours a

195
00:08:53,480 --> 00:09:03,639
day wow uh and pretty long and it

196
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,199
and it
is we've had we've had over nine seasons

197
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,879
of ups and downs and challenges and like

198
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,958
like was say earlier the directing and

199
00:09:11,959 --> 00:09:13,719
him with the you know all the different

200
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,039
uh facets of Sam and and there's there's

201
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,559
been a constant challenge every day we

202
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:19,078
go into work and it's you know we're

203
00:09:19,079 --> 00:09:21,439
away from our family we're in country a

204
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,159
lot of things none of compares to the

205
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,799
challenge and also the gratification of

206
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,030
having a child and for

207
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,159
me my best advice might sound like a

208
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,479
joke but sometimes it

209
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,199
sucks sometimes it

210
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,439
sucks sometimes it sucks and it's suppos

211
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,759
it's it's just don't forget it's

212
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,639
supposed to it's like working out it's

213
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,719
like God this is like you're doing squat

214
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,398
or something you're hating it but it's

215
00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:55,599
wor and when the especially for me I was

216
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,278
a sure I was a fine father but the first

217
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:00,199
couple months were so so difficult

218
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,958
because I was like I've got a baby it

219
00:10:01,959 --> 00:10:05,199
wants nothing to do with me it wants it

220
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,719
wanted something I couldn't yet he yeah

221
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,439
you're basically a pat mule for the

222
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,679
first like year year of their life but

223
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:13,838
when you're then when you're on the

224
00:10:13,839 --> 00:10:17,039
phone like I was Skyping with uh with my

225
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,919
kids and my my 9-month-old can't speak

226
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,879
yet but he tries and my 2 and a

227
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,119
half-year-old can't we're actually just

228
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,879
on the way here watching videos of my

229
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,879
son running around his daughter trying

230
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,599
to

231
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,759
um so that kind of stuff it's it's it's

232
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,319
all worth you look back at the shitty

233
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,838
times and go like I lost sleep and I had

234
00:10:35,839 --> 00:10:37,719
to missed this and I couldn't do that

235
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,278
and I you give up a lot of your personal

236
00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:42,838
time but the investment is worth it like

237
00:10:42,839 --> 00:10:45,679
it's worth the time so don't don't be

238
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:48,239
ashamed when you find that you're like

239
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,679
bummed like oh this is terrible every

240
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:52,359
every parent feels like that and if they

241
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,838
don't feel like that they're

242
00:10:53,839 --> 00:10:56,239
nuts sometimes it's Su man but it's all

243
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,518
work and also also no matter how

244
00:10:58,519 --> 00:10:59,759
difficult you think it is is and how

245
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,638
hard it is and how uncomfortable you are

246
00:11:02,639 --> 00:11:05,239
it's nothing compared to how difficult

247
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,479
and challenging and uncomfortable she

248
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,278
is

249
00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:13,999
yes thank you I think that's it

250
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,000
guys love
