avadakedavra Posted December 29, 2004 Author Posted December 29, 2004 JRAunlimited interviews Jensen Ackles. October 14th, 2004 JRAUnlimited: Actors have many different ways of developing and relating to their character, some keep a journal, while others can turn it on or off at will. What do you do to prepare for your roles? Do you ever "become" the character off camera? Jensen: Well, since I've never really had any formal training, I kinda just do what comes natural. I may have dabbled in a little method acting before...not necessarily becoming that character, but rather surrounding myself with things (music, books, movies, etc.) that get me in that head space. But, I'd have to say that most of the ideas I get for my characters usually come from a slight version of myself, mixed with things I observe from other people. I'm a huge people watcher, for that reason especially (and it's just plain entertaining sometimes). So, do I have a specific method to my proverbial madness?...NOPE. JRAUnlimited: What has been your favorite scene to act in to date? Do you think that your favorite scene is also your "best" or do you make a distinction between favorite and best? Jensen: An improv scene with the guy who played my dad in Devour. I was allowed freedom that I don't usually get. I'm my own worst critic. None of the scenes I do I think are my best. There is always room for improvement. JRAUnlimited: How much input do you like to have over the characters you play? For example, how much influence did you have over the way Alec was developed? Jensen: A lot of the time the characters tend to form themselves. I'll have an idea of how I want to play him, especially with TV, and once the writers and producers see what I am doing they'll take the things they like and capitalize on them as the season progresses. Sometimes it's things I don't even realize I'm doing. So I'd have to say it's a nice collaboration of both myself and the people who write him. JRAUnlimited: We heard rumors during Dark Angel's Second Season, Fox was entertaining the idea of spinning a show for "Alec", a project we liked to refer to as Dark Alec. Was there any truth to these rumors? Jensen: That would have been fun...I do remember hearing something about it, but unfortunately I think the rumors came from people who weren't in the position to make that happen...oh well! JRAUnlimited: Seriously, did you really fall off the bike in "The Berrisford Agenda"? C'mon now, tell us the truth. Jensen: Yes. In rehearsal when I tried to stop, I slipped off the seat, but caught myself before falling. So then I thought it would be funny if I actually did fall while spitting out all the dialogue. The director liked it so they threw a pad down for me to land on...I missed once. JRAUnlimited: If Still Life does make it to air as a limited run series and the show clicks with the audience (something we kind of doubt due to Fox's incredible ability to abandon well written shows in favor of reality programming) is there any sort of contingency plan to resume filming of the show: Jensen: No...all of the contracts expired in June. But hey...thank God we got to see My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé! That was a real winner. JRAUnlimited: Now that you have gotten your foot in the door of the film industry, what are your intentions? Do you plan on focusing on films instead of TV or would you ideally like to do both? Jensen: I'd like to have a balance of the two of them. Film is a real intense process which I like, but at the same time the consistency of TV is hard to shy away from. But to be honest...I have no idea what could happen, it's kinda crazy. JRAUnlimited: If you could guest star in any current TV show, which would you prefer and in what capacity? Jensen: The West Wing as Josh's intern or on the Sopranos except I'm not Italian or from New York. Taken from JRAUnlimited & the official newsletter. Quote

Demure Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 He is gorgeous! And he was born in Dallas, so he is okay by me. He looks like some sweet midwestern boy you knew in high school. Okay, I'm dreaming now. Jensen is amazing. Quote
Maxie Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 avadakedavra I love you for making this thread! And I was stupid enough to overlook it. But I finally found it! (wow, that took long I will never be good in finding things.) I could blab a entirely full (not to mention: useless) post, but the bottomline is: He's gorgeous! I was a big Dark Angel fan and I loved him as Alec. The way he could be the smartass, just priceless. I like smallville a lot too, that was the show I watched after the DA days were over. And now he's in that! heh, couldn't make me happier Quote
Demure Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 I remember Jensen from Days of Our Lives. My friend and I in the 7th grade had HUGE crushes on him. Wow, that was so long ago. Quote
