Now, the winner, my top favorite actor of all time is—drum roll please—Jensen Ackles! Jensen Ackles is an actor and director (more recently). Jensen was born in Dallas, Texas to Donna Joan and Alan Ackles who is also an actor. Jensen has an older brother and a younger sister. His plan before getting into acting was to study sports medicine at Texas State University and was going to become a physical therapist, but abandoned that plan and moved to Los Angeles to start an acting career.
Jensen was not an amateur to the acting/modeling scene. He began a modeling career at the young age of four. However his real acting career started in 1996 when he began guest starring in different roles such as; Mr. Rhodes, Sweet Valley High, and Cybil. He later landed a recurring role on the SOAP, Days of Our Lives as Eric Brady. In 2000 he left the SOAP and starred in a TV series Blond about Marilyn Monroe. After that was over he auditioned for the lead role as Clark Kent in Smallville, but wasn’t given, instead he had a smaller part as Lana Lang’s boyfriend. He then managed to land another role in yet SOAP in 2003 in Dawson’s Creek, but sadly the TV show was dropped with no warning.
All of these minor roles leads up to his star role on the hit TV series that is my favorite show of all time—Supernatural. This show centers around two brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) These brothers have a job, but it’s no ordinary job they save the world by hunting down ghosts, demons, ghouls, and any other paranormal being you can think of. They suffer many deaths, and life altering events that either bring the brothers closer or tears them apart which could be from a fight, to one of them dying and going to hell, or purgatory. However they always find their way back to each other whether they are okay with each other or in some sort of fight. This show contains a lot of heaven VS. Hell conflicts that surprisingly doesn’t have more controversy seeing as how they talk about a lot of controversial topics. They manage to stay under the radar and have very loyal fans. The TV show and refers to the “Fandom” as the “Supernatural family” because it really is like that.
The boys Jared and Jensen are two Texan boys who once the show began (eight years ago) have become best friends. Their wives are close, and they were even roommates during some of the season being filmed in Vancouver Canada. The Supernatural cast even does conventions where the fan can meet and greet them take pictures and ask their questions and just have fun with the cast.
Jensen is currently married to Danneel Harris, a model and star of One Tree Hill. They are now expecting their first child—a girl—and I are very happy for them. This show is my favorite of all time I own all the season and I hope it’s around for many more seasons.
