Jared Padalecki Interview - Supernatural and Friday the 13th
Rebecca Murray from About.com Hollywood Movies at Spike TV's 'SCREAM 2008'
When you get these scripts for Supernatural do you just praise God you're getting something that cool?
Jared Padalecki: "Yeah, totally. I was looking for the email address of our writers. I wanted to send him and say, 'Listen, you killed me. I worked my ass off and I'm exhausted, but thank you.' Because when it's all done, you know, when you read it you're going…you've been working 16 hours a day and you're like, 'Awww, I'm in every scene.' Like, 'Kill me.' But then after you shoot it, you're like, 'Man, 30 years from now I'm not going to remember how tired I am, but I will be able to go back and watch it and be proud of what I did.'"
How do you keep in shape for all this, because they do put you through hell?
Jared Padalecki: "They do. I have dogs. I run them every day and I have a gym in my garage so I go out and I lift weights. I mean, I grew up playing sports and lifting weights and stuff like that, so I just try… It's kind of like a lifestyle. I don't think of it as staying in shape. It's just like, hey, when I wake up in the morning, it's good to relieve some stress and hit the gym. I don't want to be like muscle man, but it's nice to keep active."
Do you like how they've taken your character this year?
Jared Padalecki:: "I love it. I love how they've taken my character. I like when Sam starts to be a little bit darker and a little bit more individual. I mean at the beginning, he was sort of teen angst - the why me? Why? Why? Why? He accepted it, but now he's really embracing his life and his powers even. He's like, 'Listen, I'm doing it for the right reason.' And it's exciting to watch what's going on because you know the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and he's doing it for the right reasons. But, you know, we'll see what happens."
Okay, he's doing it for the right reasons yet the angels don't want him to do it, so now I'm totally confused.
Jared Padalecki:"Exactly."
Am I supposed to be confused?
Jared Padalecki:"You are no less confused or more confused than I am because [Eric] Kripke, he's always kept things really close to the vest. He doesn't really tell us a whole lot. Like I think he likes the idea that Jared and Jensen [Ackles] are going through what Sam and Dean are going through. It's like we act well by default. It's like, 'I don't know so I'm just going to…'"
Is there one script that you read that you can point to and go, "This is it. This is Supernatural?"
Jared Padalecki:"You know what? Every year the season premiere and the season finale are just dynamite. We're working so hard and great actors and great directors, and stuff like that. It's really exciting to work with, so I have to say the beginning and end of every season have really encapsulated [it]. I mean the pilot was tremendous and since then we've had so many great episodes here and there, but definitely we start off and end all the seasons with a bang."
They've gone away from using the music in it as much as they used to.
Jared Padalecki:"It's unfortunate. I think, maybe I'm not supposed to say this, but I think it was a budget issue. I think with what's going on and the actors' strike really kind of tore up Hollywood, and I think the budget for a lot of shows kind of went down. They just don't have… It costs a lot of money to get AC/DC, you know? They want their chunk of change, too. And they should - they're awesome."
One movie question - what can fans expect from Friday the 13th?
Jared Padalecki: "Well if you're a fan of Friday the 13th already it's already going to plug you’re your psyche and you're really going to communicate with the characters and the action. And if you're not, it's just going to be a bad ass fun, scream and cheer movie."
Jeffrey Dean Morgan comes up behind Jared Padalecki. Morgan plays Padalecki's dad in Supernatural.
Jared Padalecki: "This is my boyfriend."
Dad
Jeffrey Dean Morgan: "That's what he meant."
Jared Padalecki: "You're looking good."

Another Jared “Friday the 13th” interview
Jared Padalecki Talk 'Friday the 13th' Remake at Scream Awards
Mon., Oct. 20, 2008 3:24 PM PDT, by Alyse Wax
It’s getting harder and harder to think of classic genre films that haven’t been remade, or aren’t in the process of being remade. So rather than get uptight about filmmakers “wrecking” the original, let’s just sit back and enjoy the blood-soaked ride, wherever it takes us. We did just that the other night at the Spike TV Scream Awards - with Amanda Righetti and Jared Padalecki, two of the stars of the upcoming Friday the 13th remake. They told us what it’s like to be part of the classic series. And don’t worry - we asked Jared about Supernatural, too!
Were you a fan of the original Friday the 13th movies?
Padalecki: Yeah, I am. The originals, I’m a fan of in the sense that they are campy, kind of cheesy, and you half-laugh, half-scream. But this is going to be raw and real and scary. This one is going to be much scarier than the originals. And we don’t have Kevin Bacon. We tried. Ok, I don’t know if they tried - I’m just making shit up.
How did you prepare for something like this? Normally, slasher movies are shot with no budget, no stars.
Padalecki: It was exciting. It’s a huge franchise. There are going to be fans that are just really excited. I’ve had a lot of people that I work with in Vancouver [on Supernatural] that do FX go, “Listen, I know you are in the new Friday the 13th, I’m so excited, I was at Comic-Con, blah blah blah.” I was like, “Dude, why didn’t you call me? We work together - you could have called me, and you could have met Jason or something.”
It was exciting just to jump in. I had no time to think about it. I was shooting Supernatural in Vancouver on Tuesday, and Friday the 13th in Austin on Wednesday. I didn’t have time to get nervous, which is probably better.
Your character probably does not get slaughtered, right?
Padalecki: We’ll see. They’ve shot a few options. I’m going to find out myself, probably opening night.
So you don’t even know?
Padalecki: I don’t, but I have an idea. I will get slaughtered if I talk about it!
Jared, what can we expect from Supernatural at this point?
Padalecki: : We’re ten episodes in - not even halfway through the season. Usually our season opener and season finale are the “killer episodes,” but this year, starting with episode seven, they’re all killer. We have a few “to be continueds” which is nice, because we can really tell the story. What we found out with Supernatural over the last three years is that fans really respond to the mythology. It’s fun to do “monster-of-the-week” episodes - we did a monster movie episode that was fun - but people have really responded to the through-line of the show.
What is your greatest fear?
Padalecki: : You know, I was actually thinking about this the other day, and I thought of something, but now I can’t remember. I sound all tough - “I ain’t skeered.” I don’t have any specific fears, like snakes or anything. I’m so boring.

Here’s a salute to chatterbox Jared Tristan Padalecki:
Baby Jared
Big baby Jared
Partner in Crime
“Heh, eat your hearts out-he’s all mine.”
~The disconnect between me and “Heroes”:
Monday night’s episode description: Knox (who?) and Daphne (who’s that?) recruit Hiro for a mission; Peter goes to Pinehurst (what?) for answers, Claire and Sandra (whoever that is) plan to rescue Meredith (haven’t the foggiest) and Nathan and Tracy (new Nikki, right?) seek help from Suresh to find the origin of their abilities.
Whatever is going on with that show, won’t deter the cast from
Milo Ventimarzipan at the opening of Burberry. I love that he’s a stylish bugger
“I am smiling.
~Chace Crawford continues to look
Chace’s spread in VMan by Mario Testino. I get what Mario is doing-playing up Chace’s teen idol status by going with a retro Fifties pop idol look-- but Testino does highly sexy shoots and I wish he’d gone for something more daring. Conceptually it’s great, but I wouldn’t object to seeing Chace half naked and bound to a chainlink fence with honey being poured on him by a mime.
Do you see me, Ed? Do you feel me?
::whispers:: I do.
At a fundraiser together---but oddly apart.
He knows he wanted to be alone in the lift with Ed
If you want to hear what music speaks to Chace’s soul, look no further than music from Ed’s band, The Filthy Youth
~Very soon the reign of terror that is “High School Musical” will come to an end; hopefully forever banishing the name Vanessa Hudgens from existence and leaving Zac Efron to ponder a non-dancing, less cheesy film career. He has to think of something quick because Joe Jonas waits in the wings.
::shakes head::
::punches him
::turns around and punches Thomas Dekker for good measure:: Just because your show got a full season pickup doesn’t mean you have to be smug!
Joe can do geeky well. He’s like a hairy little Clark Kent
He can pull off dapper
Zac is wearing John Varvatos, but it does nothing for him.
I don’t know what the hell Joe is wearing, but it works on him
Zac, even with a hint his big boy stubble seems too Malibu Ken
Joe’s big boy hair makes him more interesting and nearly detracts from his flat-ironed hair
The Brothers Hanson wants in on this action. Their ugly brother against the ugly Jonas Brother
There’s no way Isaac Hanson outfugs Kevin Jonas. Advantage: Hanson!
Joe Jonas should only pray to achieve Taylor Hanson level of hotness
~The CW has ordered a few more scripts for “Privileged” (a show I’m enjoying), hopefully they’ll just do the deed and order a full season. Meanwhile, the 90210 cast says
Or make that some of them are still here because they have demoted Jessica Walters’ from regular to recurring. Dammit.
The cast took a field trip to a hockey game over the weekend
Annalynne McCord, who I no longer hate. Just really dislike>
Now I know this dude is in “Twillight”, but isn’ t he the jock dude on 90210? If he is that means there are three sets of couples on that show.
Adam Gregory and girlfriend/costar Jessica Stroup. Who are dressed like this to piss me off. What are they wear….the rips!!! Just..UGH!
Ryan Eggold always looks like a sad sack for some reason
