Jensen Ross Ackles

Some Facts about Jensen Ackles:

Jensen Ross Ackles was born March 1, 1978 in Dallas, Texas.

As a child, he was a model, before he decided that he wanted to become an actor after he graduated from Lloyd V. Berkner High School in Richardson, Texas.

His first gig in acting was a soap opera Days of Our Lives as Eric Brady. After that, he did Dark Angel, and appeared in a few episodes of Smallville and Dawson’s Creek, before finally landing his major break in the 2005-Present show, Supernatural – about two brothers who travel the country in search of anything ‘supernatural’.

As of late spring of 2011, Jensen became husband to One Tree Hill actress, Danneel Harris (now Ackles).

He is born and raised in Texas (the Dallas area), but moved to Vancouver, Canada to film Supernatural. I don’t know if Vancouver is where he now lives, or if Dallas is still his stationary home.

He likes golfing, riding horses, scuba diving and photography and he is an avid country music fan. Jensen can even sing and plays a little guitar.

His trade marks are is deep husky voice, ginger beard and freckles.

He was considered for the role of Clark Kent of Smallville, but the role went to Tom Wellings.

He is very good friends with fellow actors Jared Padalecki and Christian Kane.

He is of Irish, English and Scottish decent.

Dallas Cowboys fan.

Some of My Favorite Films/Shows Starring Jensen:

1. Supernatural – Dean Winchester

Where to start with this show. All around amazing, really. I love Dean, absolutely love him – he’s gorgeous, and hilarious, but also very serious and bad-ass. He’s at his hottest when he’s either crying, dead serious and ready to ‘gank’ a monster. Always with a knife or his sawed off shotgun, he’s just nearly too much. One thing I really like about Dean Winchester is just how much he looks after his little brother, Sam and even his own father, John. Throughout the first few seasons, it explains how Dean has practically had to raise Sam while John is off on a hunt for weeks at a time, leaving the two boys alone. It was always up to Dean to feed and make sure Sam was safe, even if they were only four years apart. Dean had to grow up fast, and I totally respect him for taking on all of those responsibilities when he shouldn’t have had to. He IS the glue that held the Winchesters together. I also think that he is much stronger than Sam, even if Sam seems to think otherwise.

2. Ten Inch Hero – Priestley

Wow…I thought that the movie Ten Inch Hero was going to be really stupid when I first watched it (only because Jensen was in it), but I was completely wrong and I am so glad that I gave this movie a chance. It was really good. Very emotionally involved and it was romantic, without being too gushy. It was comical, without being too over the top so where it was just dumb. There were some rather graphic nudity in a few parts of the film (Danneel Harris) but I could overlook them for the overall picture of the story. I was glad that all of the characters got a love interest and not just the leading pair – it was a really nice change. Everyone had their own little story and quirk that I loved. I would definitely RECOMMEND this to everyone who is a romantic at heart.

3. Devour – Jake Gray

The movie itself was admittedly retarded. However, Jensen’s acting was very commendable. He was probably the best actor in this flick – definitely the best looking, too.

4. My Bloody Valentine: 3D – Tom Hanniger

I actually enjoyed watching Jensen in this movie. Yes, the storyline was lacking and the ending was predictable (even though I did, admittedly doubt myself a few times throughout), I still really liked watching him. He stole the show for me, and the best part was that he didn’t die at the end. He just walked away, yay. Sure, he was a psycho killer, but he was a hot one. The only cliché thing I had wish they had gone with was that Sarah and Axel’s son had been Tom’s instead of Axel’s. It would have made an interesting twist in this case.

5. Dark Angel – Ben/Alec

I have only seen a few episodes of Dark Angel that had Jensen in it, but what I saw of his character, I really liked. Can’t say much more on that, I’m afraid, since I for some reason that I can’t remember now, lost track of the show.
