Cast & Characters
Supernatural has its main focus on Winchester brothers, portrayed by Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. They hunt evil creatures all over the country. Padalecki had been mad about horror films, series and mystery literature since childhood and it made him get interested in the role. He thought that Supernatural is going to look like his favorite The Twilight Zone and The X-Files.
In the beginning, Ackles was asked to portray Sam but the character of Dean turned out to be a lot more appealing to him. When the audition started, he had already been a part of the cast of WB’s Smallville series. However, he had to cut it short after the filming of Supernatural started.
