Jensen Ackles - Q&A panel at Vancouver Con 2009
This is a summary/highlight of the video, complete with caps. I was not present at the convention. Video available at
agt-spooky's journal
here. She's awesome.&hearts
I downloaded a ton more con videos from her yesterday, including some I'd already watched on Youtube. I love these guys, seriously. They crack me up...
...Plus, they look like this:
:Db
People walk in late, and he says points at each of them and says,"Tardy. Tardy. Tardy." He blames it on Jared, just because anything having to do with being late is generally because of Jared. The crew there agrees.
He thinks the crew should be on stage answering questions, and he's just doing the...song and dance, was it?
A girl yells you, "You rock!" And he's all, "Wha?" like he's confused and can't hear. He thought she said, "Take it off!"
He badmouths Jim Beaver (Bobby!) and says, "I love you, Jim" while looking around. "He's always listening."
What location would he like to shoot at?
"I'm still waiting for the script about the, uh...ghost surfer. In Hawaii."
Ugh, this is annoying - they're having one guy ask the questions the fans are coming up with, which is not how it's done at most of the cons. :/
"I don't know if you've seen it, but there was this little, tiny movie with a horrible, horrible actor as the lead, called 'Watchmen.'" I love when they tease each other.&hearts Sir (a.k.a. Jeffrey Dean Morgan) was in Watchmen a few years after he left Supernatural. Anyway, Supernatural has been using their set for a while now, which is nice, since there's only so many places you can shoot in Vancouver before it starts to look like they're actually in Vancouver. XD
He gets a really long question about the plot, and he just says, "What?" XD
Re-enacting a filming moment that must've hurt a lot. D: But he kept going and finished the scene. *pets*
"And I've got a scar on my..." *looks at both arms* Courtesy of Kim Manners choosing to use real glass in a scene, and Jensen says you can't really complain to him about getting hurt. He mimes what would happen then... XD
He got to work with his dad for a probably very horrible movie, which he said was nice. He wants to show it to his kids in the future and say, "Hey, look. Look how young your grandfather looked." Hey, Jensen - go have kids, please. Thanks.
Q: In your opinion, what is Jared's best personality characteristic?
"I don't know that he has one."
After affirming the question, "Oh my god, I'm going to have to dig deep for this one. Uh..."
"He's got some charm, I'll give him that. He's got some good ol' Southern charm. It doesn't get him far with me, but... But I see it goes far with you guys, so I guess that's..."
Someone suggested Jared's flatulence was his best trait. Jensen did not agree.
He says he'd rather razz Jared to his face, since he'll be coming out in a bit, so he wants to save that topic for later. XD
He was supposed to do two seasons of Smallville, but "there was this other show that came and pulled me off of it." I...love how they answer questions. Misha's the best at staying sarcastic and/or facetious the whole time, but Jensen and Jared are pretty damn good at it, too. XD
He was asked about working with a famous actress...
"I tell you what, you know... She's... She played my mother and she's an older woman, but damn, is she sexy. It was, uh... *laugh*
Michael Rosenbaum had a few choice words to say about her, that I will, uh, if any of you know him or have had the chance to talk with him, you can imagine." I love those two. Back when I watched Smallville, I definitely found Lex more attractive than Clark. XD
"Holy flashing cameras! You're going to run out of space!"
"What? 16 gig?"
The professional cameraman only has a 12 gb card, and Jensen has a cute reaction to that, that really only works in motion. He also tells the girl to cut it out because she keeps taking pictures the whole time. XD
...But he poses for her like a dork.&hearts I LIKE MY MEN DORKY.
He gets asked about dream guest actors on the show (no cap due to blurriness), and he totally makes fun of some people...including Jared. XD But then he suggests his (now) wife, aw~ "It's just, there's some chemistry. It's tangible."
Yay, back in focus. He says you can sell the part better if you've got that kind of chemistry. Hey, I'd love for her to be on - Jared's wife was a recurring guest star, and he got to shoot his girlfriend before that. XD But, she's said the fans hate her and she would never go on. It makes me wonder what part of the internet they've all seen glimpses of, since the SPN fans on LJ are mostly the fun sort of crazy.
"...Right, honey?" *DIES*
"She's so red right now."
*laughs at Danneel*
I NEED GIFS OF THIS CON. WHAT. WHY. UGH, I AM NOT TAKING UP GIFMAKING, GOD DAMN IT.
He taunts the crap out of someone who was making fun of his golf game, and ends it with "That's riiiiight! *smirk*" 17:59, SOMEONE DO IT. DOOOO IIIIIIT.
...No real reason for this one. He made a funny, but...mostly for the smile. :D
Q: What's your favorite Dean death?
"...*silence*"
lol He does some more of this "No, no *headshake" yes, yes *nod*" thing. Behold, a gif!
And then he said he ripped it off from something, but I couldn't tell what...
He licks his lips so much...
He gives the Australian a "G'day, mate!" that actually wasn't half bad. I mean, compared to other Americans. XD His Chinese and Japanese accents really, really suck, though. XDDDDD
I THINK I WAS LAUGHING TOO LOUD. I HOPE NO ONE HEARD THAT GIGGLE... :x
First, I was going to say that he keeps making every response into a joke about how they never have any time off. (Another brother to share the load of the show? Sure! Make 'em twins!) But then... Someone suggested a sister, and he said, "Women don't last long on our show. And it's y'all's fault." ILU, JENSEN.
"I'm just kidding.
...It is, though."
He drives a pickup truck. Aw, you Texas boy.&hearts But Jared drives a Corvette, and Jensen made fun of him when he got it. But aw, Jared let him borrow it to drive up to Whistler once, which is sweet. You know, I'm going to need to hunt down some stuff from earlier cons, back when they still lived together; those stories are precious.&hearts
And then Jensen fled the stage so Jared could come on. The end! :D
...Mini hiatus has been hard. And I don't know when I'll be able to watch this week's awesomeness since I'll be going out of town. :/
Unrelated: If I had a tumblr, I'd like
this.
