I would love to know what it's like to be a ladder
Aha, there's a transcript of Richard's Chicago con panel here.
I C&P-ed a few questions, but the first one is one I had wondered about...
Q: Isn't his role in the Pepsi commercial rather Trickster-like?
A: I'm still hot (takes off other shirt to reveal black Pepsi t-shirt). Wait til you see my teawrawy pants! The director is one I've done a lot of commercials for. I did a series of them for IBM, he and I have a long history and that's the main reason I ended up doing the role. But one of the ladies who works for Pepsi is a giant SPN fan. The Pepsi people came up to me and were like "People on Facebook go crazy for this commercial, but they keep calling you Gabriel Oh you're on this show." There's a lot of activity on the Pepsi FB from you people which is FANTASTIC! So I think she, the one lady from Pepsi, I don't think there's any correlation for how I got the job, but the next commercial is more Tricksterish, might be her input at this point.

Q: If you could have a Freaky Friday moment with anyone in the SPN cast, who would it be?
A: Jared, I would love to know what it's like to be a ladder. I never felt short until I met Jared. When we go up the stairs in Tall Tales and I'm talking about the night before, and we get to the top and talk, they line up J2 and they line me up and they say "Richard get on your mark.: (He hides behind the chair onn stage so only the top of his head shows) I'm on my mark. Then I hear them say over the radio to everybody, can we get an apple box for Richard? On Jericho they were tall, but they're not THAT tall, I told Jensen, dude! He's really, really tall. And Jensen said, "Imagine being me, I'm 6'2 and I'm the short one." Yes, my Jensen sounds like Elvis, and he doesn't really stand l;ike that. I would like to look at the world from this angle.

Q: (Girl with black contact lenses who he goes up to to look at her and points them out) If you could return as Gabriel, how would you do it?
A: It would be fun to have him reappear in a porno, because why not? And bust out of the TV. Do his version of The Ring. Tight pants, mustache and all.
Oh that man ♥
