"It
was life imitating art," Ackles jokes. "I've just got to
play the role of older brother and show this young whippersnapper
how they do things in Vancouver." (on getting into a bar
fight)

Festival (March

Jensen:
"And they were pleased with it and went home that evening and got a
phone call, 'Well, there’s this guy Jared
Pada... Padasomething and they really are liking him for one of the
brothers.'" So of course, I look him up online.
Jared: He thought I was hot.
Jensen: This guy is smokin’ hot. I cannot play his brother. And then they said they’d like to bring me back into Dean and I was of course very excited.
-
(asked
about Dean’s phone number) Jared: "If you want to actually
call him, it’s 1-800-WET-LEGS."
*Jensen leans in*
"Oh you changed it?"

John
Shiban "And the second thing, honestly, is casting and

Jensen: "I’ve definitely enjoyed working, and getting to know Jared
and it’s been an awesome on and off camera relationship…"
Jared: "And I know that Jensen has enjoyed getting to know me, and working

Jensen: "He’s super humble."

Jensen:
"We’re late because he [indicated Padalecki] partied
hard last night and apparently fell asleep in the shower."
Jared: "I couldn’t attend an interview without having a
shower."
Jensen: "Sure… but you’re always in there for hours. What do you do in there?"
Jared:
"There’s a lot of me to wash, okay?”

Do
you fancy being in Supernatural for the next ten years,
like Mulder and Scully?
Jensen: "Us, the next
Mulder and Scully–Wow!”
Jared: "Who gets
to be Scully?”
Jensen: "Well, I’d have to
be Mulder.”
Jared: "I wouldn’t mind
putting on a wig.”
Jensen: "Nah! I’m not
sure about the wig, but if we can taste a little bit of their
success and longevity, that’d be awesome.”

Press Tour information on the CW (January
19, 2007)
Jared: We
have similar interests and similar hobbies, and we're both
pretty laid-back guys. We take our work very seriously. We like to
work on our characters and like to have a good time and like
to keep the mood on the set fun. And we just got – we
just clicked. Like I've definitely worked with my share of people
-- and I'm sure he has too -- that I'm just like, "Oh, man,
I'm going to work again. I've just got to keep my tongue in my
mouth and don't say anything that's going to come back to bite
me or just shut my mouth and do my work." But we have a
great time.
-
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 or whatnot. And I think that it's just that we truly want this to be a great program. So when we're working, if I see something that he's doing or he sees something that I'm doing, there's this, you know, very open relationship. We're able to talk to each other be like, "Hey, let's do this. Let's lock this down. Let's get this going. I think we're missing a beat here." So it's really neat to have that relationship with your costar."
-
Jensen: "It's a full, full-time job. And we actually have to make an effort to go do something, to go and relax. A few weeks ago, he and I went down to Seattle to catch the Cowboys game. We're both Cowboys fans. That was something that we had planned, and it was great. We had a great time, but that was our Saturday."
-
Jared (on whether he finds the show scary): "To me I'm dealing with it day in or day out. I'm like, 'Oh, yeah. Jensen was grabbing my butt in that picture.' I'm sorry to sell you out.(Laughter.) That was a hypothetical."

Guide (March

TVGuide.com:
With those cartridges you have to blow on to get them to work?
Jared: "Yes! You know what I do? I cough on them, and then if you push it up and down a bunch of times it will work. I've been playing Contra, Jensen and I…. Sometimes I'm like, "In my trailer, now!" and he comes in and we spend 25 minutes and beat Contra. Now we can move on with the day now that we've saved the world from the Contra."

Guide visit to the set of Supernatural (March
31, 2007)
There
they sat at an ordinary kitchen table, Sam and Dean (Padalecki and
Ackles, respectively) discussing recent events. While I’m
not at liberty to reveal the topic of their conversation, suffice
it to say that tempers were flaring. As voices raised, so to did
emotions. Dean was, of course, in protective mode, while Sam did
what he does best: bristled.
And then things took a most unexpected turn. 310"312">Sam and Dean gazed lovingly - dare I say longingly? - into one anothers' eyes. Standing, Dean moved closer to Sam, raising his arm and reaching out as if to touch him softly, when suddenly…
"Cut!” yelled the director. "Okay, boys, now let’s do it seriously this time,” he said.

RTVW
Online (April
7, 2007)
Jared: "Something's always got to be going on but he and I are both like,
'You know what, we're both here to make a project that we're
passionate about, let's get our work done.'"
There are no rumors going around on set. We have fun on set. There's no... It's remarkable, being two guys from Texas who would probably be going for the same roles, I feel no competition with him. I feel like he's my biggest supporter and I know I'm his biggest supporter.
I am so happy after he just nails a scene. I'm like, "Dude. Rockin'." And he does the same for me and gives me credit where he thinks I deserve it and likewise. But also very constructive with criticism. Like, "Hey, you have a better one in you. Don't get lazy here or don't do that here." It's like, "Absolutely." Whereas someone else could say it, especially another actor you're working with, and you're like, "Are you the director now? Or the writer or producer or something?" But coming from him it's like, "Ok, cool."
He knows me, he's seen my acting more than any other person in this world because I'm acting with him constantly. And vice versa. I've seen him do hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of acting.
Jensen: I can tell when he's faking a line and it's just something to be able to have that luxury to call each other out on it - to be able to keep each other accountable, essentially - is really cool. I mean, it helps the show out.

Stories
from Coffee with Jensen
"...[Jared]
got himself so upset, and I hadn't seen him get that upset about
something, and he was kind of in the corner, just kind of like
rocking while they were setting up the light. And I always know to
like you know leave him alone, and he does the same with me..."
When Jensen asked him what he was thinking about to get himself worked up, Jared said that he was thinking about if someone told him they had to put down his dogs. And he told him that right before Jensen had to do his coverage, so he was thinking about that, and looking at Jared's face - and that's why he got upset too. After they saw the episode, Jared turned to him and said "Thanks for stealing my scene asshole."
-
On filming the final scene in Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things:
When
they yelled cut, he just took off down the road by himself. Jared
had gone after him and
put his arm around him until Jensen had
stopped shaking and crying, then he simply said:
Jared: "Great scene man."
-
(on the one fight they’ve had)
Jared stepped up to Jensen. Jensen stepped up to Jared in return. Jared got up in Jensen’s face. Jensen returned the favour and got right back in Jared’s face. Jensen then explained and proceeded to demonstrate the production crew’s reaction. He jumped back in his chair, looked very wide-eyed, covered his mouth with his hand and did a really loud, exaggerated gasp. He then said, Jared stormed off in the direction of his trailer and slammed the door. Jensen followed suit and stomped off to his trailer.
After a couple of hours he left his trailer, walked over to Jared’s, knocked on the door and they hugged it out.

A Few Good Men (June 5-10, 2007)
While fangirls flocked from all over to attend, after stern fandom discussions on theatre etiquette, there was much speculation to whether Jared, who was in Vancouver filming The Christmas Cottage, would attend the play. He did, accompanied by Sandy on June 6. Despite cleverly disguising himself with a baseball cap, Jared was recognized by some fans. At interval he infamously offered to buy Jensen's father (whom he called Papa Ackles) some Skittles.
Jared then led a standing ovation at the end of the play.

Japanese
Magazine Moviestar Interview with Jensen (July
21, 2007)
Can
you still remember when you first met Jared?
Oh yes, it was when we first read the script. I thought "Omg, he's so tall!" (laughs) We're both from Texas, we have a similar family background, and we both like the same kind of music. When we first met we instantly connected.
-
Do you and Jared often hang out after filming?
Oh yah, quite often! Which means, we're filming about 12-15 hours a day, so there's not much time left for hanging out, is there? So mostly after filming, i just go home, prepare for the next day, get some rest. Furthermore, when shooting "Smallville" and "Dark Angel" i already spent most of my time in Canada and i still have many friends here, so i'm perfectly used to it. And yet, there are still many adventures in different places to be discovered...
However, Jared has become a real close friend to me. I was really surprised how close we've become during the show and it feels as if we already became "real" brothers and as if i'm watching my little brother growing up.

Article
in French Magazine Series. (August
7, 2008)
Can
you tell us about your first meeting with Jensen Ackles, your
partner in "Supernatural”?
Our first meeting took place in a hall before our last audition in front of the channel representatives. We were very nervous and decided to support each other and to be a team. We became friends very quickly. They always intend to speak about trays where the actors hate each other, as at "Desperate Housewives". Jensen and I just tried to make the atmosphere on the movie-set pleasant for everyone. And believe me we really enjoy the process.
-
Jensen: "Yes, I'm very shy, but I do my best to work around it. I know it may seem strange for an actor, but acting is a good way of overcoming this trait. It gives me the opportunity to open up more to others. Also, Jared helps me with this. He has a lot on his plate, poor thing."

Article
in French Magazine Series. (Oct
9, 2007)
Jared
is known to be very generous to his loved ones and it seems to be
very true as we can see in his behavior toward Jensen. Indeed,
after buying him a PSP so that they could play together between
takes, Jared also bought for his buddy a very nice watch. It's
after noticing Jensen admire the watch he had bought for himself
that Jared bought him the same one a few days later. Furthermore,
Jared also bought him an electric-eye (a device used to measure
light) for his birthday because Jensen is interested by
photography. According to Jared: What's
the point of having money other than making people around you
happy?"

Guide Interview with Jensen (Oct

TV
Guide: I hear you good buddies hit golf balls together. Who's
better?
Jensen: Well, I definitely play a lot more than he does. In fact, I introduced him to it just a few months ago. I got him out there and I bought the biggest box of balls you could possibly find and he ended up losing every one of them, which was funny. He might beat me at hoops, because he's taller than me.

Guide Interview with Jensen (Nov
1, 2007)
TVGuide.com:
What do you do in the few hours you're not working?
Jared: "I'm not a big "going out" kind of guy. I'd rather stay at home and order pizza and watch a football game, play with my dogs, and then go out and go drinking. But every now and again Sandy and I will go out and get a bite to eat, or Jensen and I will go out to a movie or play a game of golf. But for the most part I'm just not into that, I'd much rather play guitar and go to a bar — I rhymed! "
TVGuide.com: Don't you see enough of Jensen on set?
Jared: "Not at all. We're really good buddies and that's been probably the best thing about Supernatural. In the last three years of my life, I've spent more time with Jensen Ackles than with any other human being and vice versa. Luckily, we get along really well and we are very similar guys. We're both from Texas, we both love our families, the same kind of music, and the Dallas Cowboys. It's been a huge blessing to work with somebody who is easygoing on set and who I'm friends with."
TVGuide.com: We know he creams you at golf — what do you best him at?
Jared: "Guitar Hero the video game, and basketball. I've got an unfair advantage." [Laughs]

Six degrees Magazine interview with Jared (Nov 11, 2007)"Calling me normal is the biggest compliment you can give me," he says. "I grew up in Texas, and I think they’d probably kick my butt if I got too big-headed. I have my prissy boy, Hollywood moments, but [Supernatural co-star Jensen Ackles] is also from Texas, and being around each other keeps us both in check. Every now and then we’ll be like, ‘Dude, you’re Hollywooding out.’ It’s a big blessing."

Jared:
"We had a four day weekend cos as you know today is Rememberance
Day in Canada and we get off Monday and we had Friday off and so
we're flying together and we had a long night and I'm finally
getting to sleep and we're in row one which is not fun cos I mean
I got my legs straight up on the wall and the people behind me are
staring at my socks and they're like why is that guy showing us
his feet-"
Jensen: "-at one point both of our legs are straight
up in the air."
Jared: "-and it's a television that comes down
from the vents and it's like two feet, television, two more feet.
And the guy turns around and says 'I dont want to stare at your
feet while I'm watching... what was it? Hairspray?"
Jensen: "I
mean, I dunno, what was it?!"
Jared: "So I finally get to sleep,
and then Jensen wakes me up and I can't get back to sleep so I
only got 30 minutes of sleep. *mumble* *mumble* (something about
toes and knocking and really waking up!)"
Jensen: "Well, he
really was asleep and I really need to go to the bathroom and I'm
sitting by the window and I'm like looking and I'm like there's no
way... "
CROWD: laugh
Jensen: "So I just start kneeing him
*does motions* and he's finally like 'what!' and I'm like 'I got
to go!'

Jensen: "No!"

And
working with Jared and Jensen doesn't suck, right?
L.C.: Right. You know, they work so hard, because they’re really in every [scene]. But they’re very professional. And we’re all very friendly. They’re like big brothers.
K.C.: They are awesome. I love working with them. They’re so sweet and funny, and they bring a light humor to the set, which is so nice when [the scenes] are so serious. And the hours are so long, so it's good that they can lighten things up when [shooting] goes really late.

AOL
Interview with Jensen (February
18, 2008)
AOL:
The brothers, Sam and Dean, seem to be quite different in
personality. How do you feel the characters play off each other –
season after season?
Jensen: " I think the chemistry and dynamic lends itself to the two characters working well. The fact that we are two different individuals – it would be less interesting if we were the same. Often Jared (Sam) is there being very straight faced and I am there making an idiot of myself. It seems to work out pretty well. It’s a nice balance."

Supernatural
Magazine, Issue #2 (Jan
18, 2008)
"I
think the reason Jensen and I got along so well was because we
didn't really go about bonding....It didn't feel like a blind
date. It felt like we were continuing a relationship as opposed to
saying, 'All right, we're supposed to hang out with each
other...or something.' We just sort of hung out....We just hit it
off immediately. There's no rhyme of reason to what happened."

TV Interview with Jared (April
10, 2008)
Finally,
I asked the same question to Jensen, so I'll ask it to you: what
is the most embarrassing story you can tell us about Jensen?
Jared: "Oh man, there are probably some great ones. I wish I had something more specific. Jensen's pretty well in charge of his faculties, so to speak, so I don't know, but I'm sure there's something embarrassing. Nothing I can think of off the top of my head, but obviously there are times when he's got big chunks of food in his mouth and I'm like, "Dude, clean your grill." Or he's got his pants zipped down. I did this thing the other day where I was like, "Hey, are you afraid of heights?" And just without looking he reached down and zipped his pants up, cause of the whole, "Are you afraid of heights? Your zipper is!" Anyway, just sort of run of the mill embarrassing things. Nothing super embarrassing like splitting my pants on camera. I'll have to get him back for that."

Kim Manners said that if you were dogs, Jensen would be Rin Tin Tin and you would be Pluto. Do you agree? What would Kim be?
Jared: "DudeUFugly, that’s a great question. Pluto is probably pretty accurate. I’m sort of a big bumbling kind of character, sort of run into things and break things, and I don’t always know what my lines are. Jensen being Rin Tin Tin? That’s pretty funny, I could see that. If Kim were a dog, he’d be – I don’t know. What’s the smallest dog that exists? Maybe like a miniature Chihuahua or something. Just little and yappy and annoying, you know? Talentless, also."

Set
report from Friday the 13th (June

Padalecki,
sitting by our side watching video playback with the producers,
recognizes he's got the better end of the deal. "Jensen's in
Pennsylvania now. I totally get the cooler bad guy [to fight].
He's doing 3-D so all of his imperfections will be hard to
ignore," he laughs. "All of his imperfections, I don't
want to sound like... I'm saying if I was in 3-D I'd be much more
worried, but here I am on a flat screen, I get to hide easy."
