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

Regardless of talent (I think Jensen's a pretty damn fine actor when given the right material and pretty bad with the wrong material; Jared started out pretty horrible and moved up to relatively decent), I can't laugh at Jensen for being an idiot this time. I'm normally the first person to go, "HAHAHA YOU SUCK AT LIFE!" but I've said the same type of thing before. It's not easy to explain how you would do something to someone else. I'm an artist, when people say, "How do you do draw that?" "Like a stick figure, but not." lol.


For the record, I think Jared's Lucille (that's the pussy devil on this show, okay) was awful, Jensen Ackles. Stop kissing Jared's ass. He'll still let you blow him if you ask nicely.

When I started watching the show I thought that Jensen was the better actor and Jared was meh but improved but then awhile ago I went back and rewatched and realized that I was just being biased and thought they were both pretty mediocre.

*snorts* I actually liked his portrayal of Lucifer but I enjoy that you thought it sucked.
