oh, jensen

A couple people on my flist, perhaps more on yours, posted a link to this article/interview thingy. I haven't read it because as folks were nice to point out it has spoilers. But this bit was snipped out to share with the rest of the class.

- someone asked a question about how he’d play the angel Michael if Dean ends up saying yes. Jensen said he’d take inspiration from the way Jared played Lucifer possessing Sam in “The End” – in fact, when actor Matt Cohen came to Jensen for advice on how to play young John possessed by Michael, Jensen actually took Matt to his trailer and played him the clip of Jared as Lucifer. “See?” he said to Matt, “Same guy, but different. You’re still his brother, but also this angelic otherworldly presence.” Jensen went on to say, “I was really impressed with Jared in “The End” as Lucifer, really proud of him.” He says that if he does ever get to play Michael, he’ll take Jared’s lead and try to copy how well he did it.

Hahahaahahahaahahahahaahaha. No, seriously. Hahahahaahah. *ahem*

Like, really? Did he ACTUALLY LITERALLY say, "Same guy, but different." to Matt? I really fucking want to know what Matt's reaction was.

These are my guesses.

"Yeah, I'm an actor." / said like Jensen's a moron.
"Oh, wow. I thought Jared had a twin brother." / said sarcastically
"Damn, I thought it was a brother I didn't know about." / said sincerely because perhaps Matt's the worldest biggest tool
"Tell me about the rabbits, Lennie."  / more sarcasm.
"Get out of town and take the bus!" / okay, that one's just for me.

What are your guesses?

He says that if he does ever get to play Michael, he’ll take Jared’s lead and try to copy how well he did it

Uh, what? Jensen's going to "TRY TO COPY" what he believes* is good acting? He's not going to, I dunno, actually work at being a good actor?

Well, all right then.


*I think Jared and Jensen are mediocre actors. Apparently Jensen thinks that Jared's pretty damn decent. But your opinion on Jared's acting may be different. / disclaimed

ahahahahaha this made me laugh so much. just your reaction. oh man.
yeah, i dont really get ~blown away~ by their acting either. jared was alright as lucifer, but im not running to vote him in as my ~nUmber OnE~ actor. i thinkkk jensen has potential to be a really god actor, but it's too hard to let it show when all he does is supernatural and a few lame horrors. he needs a hurt locker type roll to prove it.

Heee.

I'm honestly not sure about Jensen and his acting, IMO the best he's been so far (from what I've seen - which is most of his stuff except for Pacey's Pond) was Alec in Dark Angel. Perhaps he could be good if he had something good to work with. Maybe.

I only watched the first season or a few eps, I can't even remember but all I know is fuck Dawson. Or I think Joshua is a lot better looking than James.
