◘Jared in LA: on Lil Sam & Dean by BabyBlueSteel◘

Jared: (sitting down, center stage) (audience giggles) That was really fun to watch. (audience woo) I’ll watch- I don’t know about y’all guys but I’ll watch that and I’m going, “Man, we have been doing this a long time.” (audience chuckles) Would’ve been two and a half years, but we look like kids back then. (audience laughs and a woo) I’ve grown up. (shakes his head, swipes a hand, and mouths something) (audience laughs and a catcall)

(pats thigh) Thank y’all guys for coming out once again. Um, I hope I can.. answer some questions and be exciting. And I’ll be absolutely boring, idiotic. (smiles) (audience giggles) So, uh.. do we have any questions just to start it out? Anybody curious about anything that they.. didn’t get to ask.. our creator Kripke or, uh, wanted to shoot my way specifically?

Anybody? (looks to his right) I see a few waving hands, but I know it’s not- (laughs) (someone off stages says something) (?Right on?) (to the audience) Are y’all having a good time? (audience cheers) Are y’all here all- (points down and then flings his hand) Are- Who- How many people are (circle gesture) from the area, just drove in? (a portion of the audience raises their hands) That means the rest actually made a trip here, huh? (audience woos) Wow. Thank y’all guys. I mean, honestly thank the people who are.. (?live as here?) as well. But, um, thank y’all for coming out to see.. us guys? We guys? (audience laughs)

My mom’s an English teacher so she may be happy (?right now?). (audience laughs) Don’t tell her.

(looks left and right) Which side? Which side? I’ll start (points to his left) this side.

•(1:09 BBS)- LA08JP;Q1a- Character Mentoring; 3x08; Colin Ford, Ridge Canipe; Pranks

Fan: Hi.

Jared: Hi.

Fan: Um, hi, Jared. I’m Anne.

Jared: Hi there Anne.

Fan: Um, I (?miss?)- Um, I love the “Very Supernatural Christmas” episode? (Jared: I do too.) And, um, the kids were great, but I was wondering if you guys, um.. coached them at all, because they had your mannerisms down really well.

Jared: You know, we did not coach them (hand slice) at all. They just really looked for these kids- I mean, obviously, uh, Dean- Young Dean had been used before. Uh, but they just found these kids that really were fans of the show and knew us- And apparently, uh, on set they had the exact same relationship that Jensen and I do on set. So, it wasn’t (audience awes) just like on camera they were goofing around, but then on- off set, you know, they’d call cut and they’d be kind of playing pranks with the crew guys and (audience laughs) (?something?).

So, it was really cool. And they had some really good ideas, um, about the show. And they were kind of talking about the character. And I was like, “…That’s a good idea. I wish I would have thought of that.” (laughs) (audience laughs) I was like, “I’m gonna claim that as my own whenever I.. say it.” But-

◘Jared on the Weechesters by IY◘

•(2:08 BBS, 0:06 IY)- LA08JP;Q1b- Jared on Colin Ford and Ridge Canipe; fan congratulations on engagement

Fan: So you were able to meet each other then?

Jared: We did. We did met each other and talk a little bit. But we didn’t- We didn’t really coach ‘em. I mean, I knew, uh- There’s a pretty rigorous casting, uhm, schedule for the Supernatural show especially. I know they look.. in LA. They look in Vancouver. They accept tapes. So, they see a lot of people for the characters. And I knew that it was going to be big to cast young Sam and Dean. So I figured whoever they.. would have cast would have been, you know, home runners. And they were, so. (nods)

Fan: It was an amazing episode. And congratulations on your engagement.

Jared: (pats thigh and nods) Thank you so much. (audience claps) (claps and turns to his right)

◘Jared in LA: The BDABR Laugh by BabyBlueSteel◘

•(0:02 BBS)- LA08JP;Q2a- 2008 SAG Awards look-a-likes

Fan: Hi, Jared. Thanks for coming.

Jared: Thank you.

Fan: Two quick little questions. (Jared: Okay.) Number one, were you and Jensen at the SAG Awards back in January?

Jared: (shakes head) No, we were not. I don’t know who the SAG Awards w-

Fan: Well, then we have shapeshifters.

Jared: Do we really? (laughs)

Fan: We do.

Jared: No way. That’s too funny.

Fan: And every time (?I saw you or somebody who looked like you?) ..What is that? But you weren’t there.

Jared: I- I promise I wasn’t there. (audience laughs) When was- When were the SAG Awards? I think-

Fan: In January.

Jared: I think I was actually.. in Austin with some of you guys. (Audience member: Yeah!) (audience woos) (Fan: Okay.) And then I went there to London to-

Fan: Alright, well that’s freaky. (audience chuckles)

Jared: It is freaky… (to audience) Just goes to show you. (audience giggles)

•(0:38 BBS)- LA08JP;Q2b- Meg!Sam’s scream; 2x14; ACT FOUR, EXT. HOUSE – NIGHT; adlib; creative control

Fan: Yeah.. The Episode “Born Under a Bad Sign,” (Jared: Yeah.) at the end- (Jared: I just (?lost to management?)) At the end when Sam was being dispossessed or whatever. (audience mumbles) That scream, is that you or is that, like, memorized or something?

Jared: It is- It is me. (Fan: Ouch.) But it’s w- (audience laughs) (nods) Yeah, ouch. It’s me, but it’s- but it’s through some sort of synthesizer or it’s put through some.. vocal changes by our effects guys. (Fan: Okay.)

But, um, here’s a funny- I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this, but, um, the scene originally ends with me getting burnt and kind of coming to and going, you know, “What’s going on?” And Dean looking at me like…(wobbles his head) you know, “Is it you again?” But, he decided to add a punch and (audience laughs) then they (?used it?). (nods) And it turned out pretty funny, so I like it.

He was like, “You know I’d punch you, if you just sat there.” And then so, the reaction of, “Why did you just punch me?” (audience laugh) I mean, kind of like- (laughs)

Um, but that was a lot of fun. They- they allow us to sort of play. And, uh, it was a lot of fun for me to play a demon. I hope I get to do it again. (audience chuckles, cheers, and claps)

(claps thigh then turns left) Hi.

•(1:40 BBS)- LA08JP;Q3- 3x03; ACT FIVE, INT. BELA'S CAR – NIGHT - EXT. CEMETERY – NIGHT; adlib

Fan: I’m (?)

Jared: Hi there.

Fan: Hi. In the “Bad Day at..” (Jared: “Black Rock”?) Yeah. At the very end scene when, uh, Bella’s driving off with your.. tickets, (Jared laughs) Jensen says five things about her- Or, uh, Dean does it and says, uh, “Son of a Bitch” becomes (Jared: Son of a Bitch!) (audience laughs) (?) (?such that, you had?) to turn away from laughing so (?many times?)? I mean-

Jared: That was- That was- That was Jared laughing. (nods) (audience laughs)

It was- We had done it- We- It was- It was a oner. I don’t know if y’all remember the shot, but.. we’re kind of.. kind of worn and trudging the graveway. (tilts head) Graveway? (audience laughs) (?). Um, and- and- our Steadicam operator, who’s fantastic, is doing this long, hard Steadicam shot. (mimics the crew) And we have, you know, people holding boom mics and people holding, uh.. uh, flags to get us lighting. And it’s just this big orchestra of.. 50 people doing things at the same time, (?and it?) to work out (snaps fingers) perfectly.

And, um- And so the very end of the take- It wasn’t scripted. Um, we were supposed to watch her drive by. And then looking at each other and I’m kind of like, (shrugs) “You got what you deserve.” But then he goes, “Son of a Bitch!” (audience laughs) And I was like, (closes his eyes) “If I ruin this, they’re gonna string me up.” (turns his face away) So, I had to turn away, because the last thing I wanna do is to bust out, and then it’s like, “Alright, going back to one.” I think our Steadicam operator crush me (audience chuckles) or something. (nods)

Fan: It was very funny. We-

Jared: (nods) It was funny. It was funny.

Fan: (?Right?). Thank you.

Jared: Thank you.

•(insomnia_geek •4, bardicvoice para. 9)- LA08JP;FR1- Most challenging episode; 3x11

“The most challenging episode for him has been Mystery Spot, because it was such a weird episode for an actor. In order to make it real, it had to be real to Jared. He had to imagine his brother dying in order to get himself emotionally in the right place, which was particularly hard since it was around Christmastime, and he gets so happy around that time that it's hard to get on set and have to be sad.” -IG

“Asked what had been the most challenging thing for him to film this season, he opted instantly for Mystery Spot, saying it was very hard because of the subject matter, and there was a lot to grasp and a lot to play all at once. What made it all the harder was that it was filming close to Christmas, so he himself was feeling very happy – and then went to work and had to put himself in the mindset of his brother dying. It was funny to watch his face as he demonstrated being holiday-happy and then having to flip the switch into emotionally devastated. And in a point that got repeated several times by both boys, he noted that the heavy emotional stuff is always the hardest to do precisely because you as the actor have to put yourself fully into the moment and really feel the emotions your character is supposed to be experiencing, because if they aren’t genuine within you, they won’t be convincing on screen.” - B

•(insomnia_geek •5, bardicvoice para. 14)- LA08JP;FR2- Jensen’s best episode; 3x02

“He thinks Jensen's best episode this season has been The Kids Are Alright. He could watch it as an audience member since he wasn't in it a lot, and just loved it. It was scary and touching and funny and whatnot.” - IG

“Asked about his favorite performance from Jensen this season, Jared said that he really enjoyed The Kids Are Alright. He said that Jensen is always good, but since the brothers had so many scenes apart in that episode, he really got into it because he could watch it almost like a member of the audience, and he really enjoyed the experience. He said that normally he and Jensen are in scenes together and are always working with and playing off of each other, so it was a different and fun experience to just be able to watch Jensen working without having to react to him as Sam.” - B

•(bardicvoice para. 21, annkiri para. 11)- LA08JP;FR3- fan request; lost my shoe quote

“One fan asked him to deliver the “I lost my shoe” line from Bad Day At Black Rock and he cheerfully complied – only to laugh himself silly as the girl left the microphone, and promptly lost her shoe! She was a good sport and held the errant pump up in the air as she made her way back to her seat.” - B

“ALSO - funny moment someone asked Jared to say, "I lost my shoe" which he did and then as the was waking away, she actually LOST HER SHOE. Jared cracked up and said, "you can't script that."” - A

◘Jared in LA: Who makes him fangirl? by BabyBlueSteel◘

The audience is laughing.

Jared: You couldn’t have scripted that.

(turns to his left) Hi.

•(0:06 BBS)- LA08JP;Qa- Embarrassing Fanboy moments; Tom hanks

Fan: Hey. Um, I was just wondering when you first started out, getting into this and that, did you, uh, ever- You know, you’re running into, uh, celebrities and that kind of thing, did you ever do anything really embarrassing that you (?can’t carry?) yourself off?

◘Jared Talking About Being Starstruck by clockstopper◘

Jared: Um, like running into celebrities? (fan laughs) Or just in general? (audience laughs) ‘Cause I assure you, I’ve done plenty of embarrassing things in general.

Uuum.. I’m not sure. I-I remember… There are a few times- I’m- I’m more that way with musicians then I am with other actors because I like to consider myself an actor and I’m like, “So, I understand the craft.” But, musicians I’m like, (dead cow stare with open mouth) “Duuuuh” (audience laughs) like.

But, um, I remember at my, uh- I was at a- I was at the.. (shakes head) maybe the Golden Globes or one of the after parties and I saw Tom Hanks. And I was like, (open mouth gasp). (audience giggles) He is my- I’d- I’d love to have a career like that. I love his work. I think he’s fantastic. I think he’s a classy individual. (audience woos and whistles) I like the way he conducts his business.

(to audience member) You okay? (audience chuckles)

Jared grimaces and then nods his head. Then Jared gives a thumbs up and smiles. The audience laughs.

Jared: You scared me. (laughs) Dnuh! (mimics a full body jerk)

Um.. but so, I remember seeing- Luckily, it was a private moment of kind of just sitting there, you know, slacked-jawed. But, um, I remember thinking later, like, if someone was watching they would’ve thought I was an absolute little fangirl. (audience laughs and cheers) Boy. Boy. (?Fangirl?). (smiles)

Thank you. (turns to his right)

•(insomnia_geek •7, sarah_p para. 7)- LA08JP;FR4- University of Texas enrollment; Friday the 13th

“The girl from Texas A&M asked why he was ever enrolled at UT (was going to major in engineering before getting into acting). He joked with her about the basketball teams, said he loves the Austin area, his sister is about to graduate from there. Apparently, Jared just signed to film the next Friday the 13th movie, so it'll be shooting in that area.” - IG

“ (…) I was glad that I had seen Jamie pre-panel, because she explained to me her question to Jared (about why he'd ever want to go to UT vs. Texas A&M), and since I understood the rivalry she was talking about and everything, it was way funnier. Also notable was when she told Jared that he was dead to her. HEE. :D” - SP

◘Jared in LA: Why DOES Sam keep a ruler by the bed? by BabyBlueSteel◘

•(0:00 BBS)- LA08JP;Qb- Cinematography; synchronized scene; 3x11; ACT TWO, INT. DINER – DAY; Sam’s bedside ruler

Fan: Hi, Jared. (Jared: Hi.) Um, I just found out apparently you just answered this in the Breakfast, but I know some of us weren’t there. So, I’m asking anyways. Uh, sorry guys but-

Jared: Well, you breakfesters have-

Fan: Yeah, sorry. You get it twice. Um, in “Mystery Spot” in that amazing scene in the diner, you know, (Jared: [nods] mhmm.) where Sam knows everything that Dean’s gonna say? (Jared: [nods] Yeah.) And it was kind of that synchronized scene, and I wanna know, like.. how you film that and if you overdub.

And of course, the follow up question is, you know, we know Sam Winchester wears make up. (audience laughs) (Jared: What?) And, you know, Sam Winchester cries his way through sex. (Jared: What?!) Why does he (?even keep-?) keep a ruler by his bed? (audience laughs, oo’s, and claps. Jared throws his head back laughing)

Jared: I don’t know. Maybe somebody else can answer me that question. (audience laughs) Um, (laughs) (audience yells out some answers) Uh, there are youths in the audience here, (?right?)?

•(insomnia_geek •8, bardicvoice para. 11, sara_p para. 14)- LA08JP;FR5- Cinematography; synchronized scene; 3x11; ACT TWO, INT. DINER – DAY; Sam’s bedside ruler

“In Mystery Spot, the synchronized talking. He had Jensen say it a bunch of times while in the car on the way to set, then started mimicking him, so when Sam had to imitate him like he's heard it a hundred times before, he could get that reaction. The hardest part was not getting it right, but trying not to laugh or act so surprised when they did get it right. As for why Sam has a ruler by the bed . . . answer that yourselves.” - IG

“Asked about how many takes it had required to nail the scene in the diner in Mystery Spot where Sam and Dean speak the same lines simultaneously, Jared laughed that they actually got it down pretty quickly once the cameras rolled. He explained that he and Jensen get picked up from their homes by the same SUV every day, and that they always use the drive to the set or location to run lines with each other. Since Sam’s ability to perfectly match Dean’s lines was supposed to have been because Sam had heard them delivered as many as a hundred times, he said that he had Jensen simply repeat the lines over and over again while he listened on the drive in that day. He laughed that there was one line that Jensen kept screwing up – he couldn’t remember which one it was, but he said that Jensen sometimes used a contraction and sometimes spoke the full word, changing the rhythm of the line, and that he kept stopping Jensen and laughingly complaining, “You’re killing me, here, man! I can’t get it if you don’t! Which way are you going to say it?” When they actually did it on set, he said that the hardest thing was for them not to break out laughing in self-congratulation somewhere in the middle after they’d successfully nailed part of it.” - B

“Since I did have a REAL question (I mean, I'm not TOTALLY inappropriate ;)), Jared (while making direct eye-contact with me almost the ENTIRE TIME, which was just...unreal) said that on the way to set in the morning, he had Jensen say the line a bunch of times. In his mind, since Sam was saying the lines as if he's heard them time and time again, he needed to know what they would sound like so Sam could imitate Dean exactly. He said the hardest part wasn't he and Jensen getting the lines out together, but trying not to either get really excited or start laughing after a successful line. He also said that there was some line in there that Jensen kept either adding or subtracting a contraction from, which obviously threw off the rhythm, and made them do the take a lot more times. IT WAS AWESOME. :):)” - SP

◘Jared in LA: tattoos and pics by BabyBlueSteel◘

•(0:00 BBS)- LA08JP;Qc1a- Tattoos; 3x12, 3x11; 2008 Writer’s Strike changes

Fan: Since we’ve seen you guys shirtless (audience laughs) in many different episodes, so (?)-

Jared: Aooo! (audience laughs) (shakes his head and waves his hand)

Fan: (?). Uh, I was wondering is there, like, a significant time when you guys got those? Do you guys have anymore tattoos that we’re going to be seeing? (audience laughs)

Jared: I have one, but- No. Um, that’s- that was, uh.. I- Funny how- I don’t know how some of y’all may find this. Maybe it’s not interesting. But “Jus In Bello” was actually filmed (taps ankle), uh, before “Mystery Spot.” But, because of the strike and because we didn’t know what was gonna happen to the show, the fate of the show, the fate of.. the business in general, it had to air last because it left more of a cliff hanger with the introduction of Lilith than, uhm- Because we didn’t know if we were gonna be able to add more episodes to the season. And so.. there was some.. sort of cliffhanger in “Jus In Bello.”

Anyways, um, that was just something.. added for that show and we- we will have those, I guess, if we have to do some more, um.. (shrugs) shirtless scenes. (audience giggles, cheers, claps) (laughs)

Um, (laughs and then shakes head) I didn’t know what to say.

But, none- none more than I know of yet. No more than I know of yet.

•(1:03 BBS)- LA08JP;Qc1b- Jared’s tattoos

Fan: Okay, do you have tattoos?

Jared: I do not. I’d like some, but, um, I do not yet. Um.. Do you? (audience laughs) (to audience) I’m not gonna ask where.

(turns to his left)

•(1:17 BBS)- LA08JP;Qc2- sunglasses and pigtails; 2x05 bts photo

Fan: Hi, Jared. (Jared: Hi.) I’m Michelle. I have a prop actually.

Jared: Uh-oh. (fan laughs) That’s scary. Is it the shapeshifters from the SAG Awards? (audience laughs)

Fan: No. No. It’s you, I think. It might be Jaraldina. (audience and Jared laughs) This is a behind the scene picture that we bid on and I- there has to be an interesting story about it. You-

Jared: Is there? Yeah. Can I? (someone hands Jared the photo) I’ll- I’ll hold it up. Is there a giant me? (turns around to look at the screen behind him) Oh. (audience chuckles)

Fan: There’s the wide one here.

Jared: Yes, there is. (takes the photo and looks at it)

Fan: And a close one.

Jared: (?Look at?) this. (laughs out loud and then turns the close up photo towards Creation’s camera.)

Fan: There’s a.. (?)

The audience laughs and claps. Jared takes another look at the wide shot and laughs again. Then he holds up the wide shot.

Fan: It might not be you. You can say it’s not you.

Jared: Um, I’d like to say it’s not me. But, the (?evidence?) (audience chuckles) is, um, it’s (?anonymous?). (audience laughs)

Yeah, I don’t know exactly what that was. (audience chuckles) I-I wish I had some great explanation for why I’m wearing pink.. (?braids?) (audience yells out something) I’m- I’m just gonna say I lost a dare or something. (audience laughs) Yeah, that’s it. I lost a dare.

Every now and again, we, uh- We kind of get goofy on set. It keeps the- (laughs) It keeps the.. (laughs and nods) spirts high. I need to know where you found these. (?) (audience laughs) You want them back? (stands to hand the pictures back)

Fan: No! You can have them.

Jared: Oh, good I’ll destroy them. (audience laughs) Good. (laughs) That is- That was Jarl- Jarldi- Jaraldiny- Jaredina. (audience chuckles) (nods) Yes. That was funny that you found me. (audience giggles) (?What a nerd? or ?Whatever?). (Fan: Yeah.) (laughs) Thank you.

Jared: Thank you for.. being entertained. (audience laughs)

•(0:11 BBS)- LA08JP;Qc3b- Future Projects; professional goals; 5-10 years 🔮

Fan: Um, I have a question for you. It’s not about the show, even though I know we want it to run for maybe ten years. But, professionally, (Jared: Sure.) where would you see yourself within the next five to ten years?

Jared: Where do I or I’d like to see myself? (audience laughs)

Fan: Where do you want- Where would you like?

Jared: Uum.. I would like to beee… working. (nods) (audience chuckles) (laughs) I mean, it sounds- it sounds like it’s a cliché or something but… the- the trends of the business and the trends of.. you know, um… stuff- When it rains, it pours. (nods) You know the.. saying? Um, I just want to keep busy. I want to keep working.

Um, ideally doing movies where I can kind of (nods) discern my own schedule. Um, you know, obviously, depends on what happens with the show, because (?who knows where the show has gone?). Um, beyond that I’d like to do some movies so I can spend time with.. my fiancé, who will then be my wife. And, (audience cheers) (nods) Yeah. (pats leg) (?)

Y’all better be nice to her (?if y’all are going to be around her soon?). ‘Cause I’ll find you. (smiles) (audience laughs)

Um, so, hopefully- hopefully doing movies and- and doing work that I’m excited about. You know? I mean, someone asked me one time what would I like to play and the answer’s every role. You know, I- There’s nothing specific I want to do. I wanna to just keep on.. (shrugs) telling stories to hopefully entertaining people.

So, this has been a- a real blessing (gestures to the audience) having people that are actually interested in the show. And, um, hopefully.. we keep on doing that. (nods)

Fan: Thank you.

Jared: Thank you. (smiles)

Jared: What’s my favorite curse word… (to the audience) If there are minors cover your ears. (audience argues with themselves if there are minors in the audience) I’d have to say… (clears his throat) Nah. (audience laughs) (to fan) Probably the one that starts with “S” and ends with “hit.” (audience laughs) (throws up a hand) Very expressive. (nods) Very expressive. And, um, descriptive.

•(insomnia_geek •14, bardicvoice para. 10)- LA08JP;FR6- Pranks; 2x21, ACT FIVE, EXT. Ramshackle House; 2x22 , ACT ONE, Int. Abandoned House- Back Bedroom- That Night

“In AHBL, did he behave himself while playing dead? Yes, he restrained his joker impulses and really did his best to be dead to help Jensen to play the scene. It was hard to lay there and try not to move or breathe or anything, but it paid off. Jensen really went there in that monologue, and Jared could hear it and wanted to cry.” - IG

“A related question concerned whether Jared – well known to be a prankster – had pulled anything or had behaved himself during his death scene in All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 1 and while lying dead on the mattress in the beginning of All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 2. After garnering laughs by proclaiming that he’d behaved himself in bed, he said in all seriousness that he had behaved himself both times, and just did the best he could to really look dead for Jensen, because he understood how hard doing those scenes would be for him. He said that the hardest thing for him in both of those scenes was not reacting to Jensen, because even though his eyes were closed and he couldn’t see Jensen, he could hear him, and it was clear that he was taking himself into a very dark and painful place. Jared couldn’t help him while the scenes were shooting, and didn’t want to make it any harder on him or make him stay there any longer than he had to, because he could hear how badly Jensen was hurting.” - B

Jared: Yeah.

Fan: And yeah. And Jensen was talking about how hard it was (?with it?). Did you behave yourself? (audience laughs)

Jared: I did. Yeah, that was one of the few times where I begrudgingly decided to behave myself. (audience chuckles) That was such an intense scene and Jensen really went there. And did a great job, this- the finale of last year. (audience cheers and claps)

(shrugs head) I mean.. I didn’t get to see what he was doing, but I did get to hear. And actually.. um, I mean, you’re- you’re really- It’s so hard to just hold your.. breath or trying- ‘Cause I wanted to- (shrug) I was really, like, trying to look dead for him. (audience laughs) I was like, “Look dead so he kind of pretend to himself that you are dead.”

Um, and he (nods) really went there. And he really committed and, um, knocked it out of the park, I think. So, I did behave myself. It was actually harder to not.. kind of tear up about what was going on, ‘cause I could hear him in a lot of pain. (audience aw’s) (nods) So, I did behave myself for him. That was the one time.

•(insomnia_geek •15, bardicvoice para. 12-13)- LA08JP;FR7- 3x11; block shooting

“In filming Mystery Spot, their crew is amazingly efficient. They block shot the episode, which is really hard for an actor to do, as different scenes are lumped together. But Kim managed to get them through, and they managed to get in all done on budget and saved themselves a couple hours of extra film time otherwise.” - IG

“Jared added that something else made Mystery Spot particularly hard to shoot, and that was that they block-shot it. No television show or movie is ever shot in chronological scene order, because you always save money and time by grouping together the scenes that take place in a particular location or on a particular set, but you generally do shoot a complete scene at a time. Usually that involves beginning with a master shot, one that covers the whole scene and shows the characters in relation to each other and their surroundings, and then taking a short break while the lighting and camera crews reset in order to get detailed coverage on one of the actors. When the technical details are ready, the actors run the scene again, while the cameras focus on one character. Then it’s time to break again to set the lighting and cameras to cover a different actor in the scene. Depending on where the cameras are facing, that may also require moving the “video village” – the multiple-monitor setup that the director uses to see exactly what each camera is recording – to make certain that it won’t be in the shot. (Mary says, if you want a brilliant example of the “video village” winding up where it shouldn’t, watch the season two gag reel for the scene – I think it came from No Exit – where the boys, walking down a corridor, hear voices approaching and duck sideways into a doorway alcove for cover, only to have Jensen crack up in laughter realizing that the Steadicam tracking him is seeing the “video village” through the doorway beyond him!) After all that arranging, the scene is run again, this time recording the second actor. And so it goes, actor by actor, scene by scene.

Block shooting is different. In block shooting, to save even more time and money, the actors and crew keep the camera and lighting setup in one position and shoot each piece of each scene that requires that specific setup, changing the setup only when it is no longer needed. So for example, in Mystery Spot, there were multiple scenes when Sam woke up and sat up in bed. Instead of shooting each scene as a whole, they shot each of Sam’s wake-up moments one after the other. Then they would have changed the coverage, and shot each of Dean’s rocking-out-to-Asia moments one after the other. Another change, and each of the shared bathroom gargling and toothbrush scenes would run in sequence. Jared said that he was very grateful that director Kim Manners was able to keep track of precisely where in the story they were, and would always start the scene by filling the boys in on exactly where in the timeline they were for this umpteenth repetition of the scene. It didn’t matter that much to Jensen, because his challenge was keeping Dean as much the same from day to day as possible, but it was critical for Jared to be able to figure out where on the continuum of Sam’s growing desperation he was supposed to be, and it was a challenge because he had to ratchet things up appropriately for each repetition constituting a new version of the scene.” - B

◘Jared in LA: block shooting Mystery Spot by BabyBlueSteel◘

•(0:00 BBS)- LA08JP;Qf- 3x11; block shooting

Fan: -Start again or?

Jared: We, um- We block shot that. Which I don’t know- (to the audience) For those of you who aren’t familiar with block shooting. Usually when you shoot a scene, let’s say I’m talking to Dean, it’ll be, um, you know, a master establisher of some sort and then.. my coverage and closer, and he’s coverage and closer. Um, but since we had so many scenes in similar areas, like, on the bed, in the bathroom, in the dining room, (Fan: Yeah, (?we know that?).) We block shot it for interest of time, because if we would have gone, you know, “Scene 21 on him, scene 21 on me. Scene 23 on him, scene 23 on me. Scene 27 on him, scene 27 on me,” then it would’ve- it takes a long time, (?at like?)-

Our- our crew is.. amazingly efficient. And our cinematographer is fantastic and he’s very quick. That’s the only way we can make this show.. for any budget, because they’re very good at what they do. But just the logistics of having to move a bunch of light this way and move a bunch of light back that way. And, you know, clear out a video village over here, g- it would just have taken, in time alone, you know? (Fan: Right.) No one in the world could have done it faster than addin’ three or four hours to the day.

So, I think at the beginning of the day.. uh, Kim Manners probably came up and he was like, “Hey, you block shoot this, you’re out three hours earlier.” And we’re like (swipes his finger), “We’re block shooting!” (audience laughs)

Um, and it’s hard as an actor, because you have to, you know, you- it- you- you usually try to get into the mind set of the scene. Um, but Kim Manners who directed the episode, who we love obviously, gave us time between each scene and said, “Listen, this is what just happened. This is what you’re thinking. This is what’s about to happen.” And you kind of sit there with it and then you go. (nods) But, it was tough. It- (nods) Block shooting (Fan: (?).) is tough. (nods) I’m glad it turned out-

Fan: Thank you. But, you’re very great.

Jared: Thank you. (turns to his right)

“f they did a bodyswap episode, how would he play Dean? Jared thought that would be interesting and fun, to play it like Face/Off. He'd make a lot of stupid faces, like Jensen does.” - IG

“Presented with the hypothetical of a body-swap episode in which Sam wound up in Dean and vice versa, and asked how he would play Dean in Sam’s body, Jared laughed, then said earnestly that he would study the more Dean-centric episodes to get Dean’s mannerisms down pat. And then he outright grinned and said, “And then I’d just make all kinds of stupid faces like Jensen does.” He faked a quick look around as if to ensure that Jensen wasn’t hiding out listening, and then nodded his head and said, “Yeah – lots of stupid faces.”” - B

“Someone asked Jared how he'd play Dean in a bodyswap episode, and he said he'd make a lot of stupid faces like Jensen does (and then demonstrated). THEN, he called back "Jensen? Jensen?", and when there was no answer, reaffirmed the making of stupid faces. (…)” - SP

“Someone brought up the bodyswap idea and asked if he thought it would be a cool thing to do and what he would do to prepare for such an episode. Jared said ht thought it would be a lot of fun and a challenge to play Dean and that he would probably re-watch a bunch of the more Dean=centric episodes to study him a bit and then make lots of funny faces like Jensen does. He then demonstrated these with totally goofy noises and faces. Then looked back like he was guilty and didn't want Jensen to have heard. He called out, "Jensen," then again to see if he was back behind the stage, and when Jensen didn't respond Jared turned back to the audience to say, "Yeah, lots of goofy faces." It was cute!” - A

◘Jared Talking About a BodySwap w/Jensen by clockstopper◘

But that’d be a lot of fun. I think I’d go back and.. you know, study some of his scenes and study some of his episodes that were heavier Dean episodes. Like, uh, “Kids Are Alright.” Because we have episodes that are very Sam heavy, episodes that are very Dean heavy, and then kind of mixture episodes.

Um, so I’d probably have to go back and.. study some of his stuff. And then I’d just make a lot of stupid faces like he does, (?you know?). (audience laughs) Stuff like, (open his mouth, curls his tough over his bottom teeth, and then rolls his eye) “Bluh, bluh, bluh.” (audience laughs) That’s kind of like how he plays Dean. So, I was play it- (laughs and then grimaces and looks around behind)

•(0:49 IY)- LA08JP;Qg2a- Getting into character; Sam

Fan: Hi Jared. I’m Emma. (Jared: Hi there.) Hi. Um, I actually have a question about getting into character with Sammy. (Jared: [nods] Okay.) Is there, like, a certain facet of Sammy’s character that.. like, helps you to grow as an actor that’s harder to portray on screen than other parts did or..?

Jared: (exhales) Uhm.. (shrugs) of course. I mean, you know, a- a- a lot of parts of Sammy. (audience giggles) It- It was very tough- It was very weird because I’ve.. done “Gilmore Girls” for five years (Fan: Yeah.) (audience woo) and so you’re really used to- (to audience member) Yeah, great show. (Fan: Yeah.) (audience giggles) (to fan) But, you get really used to playing that character. And so it’s really easy to just go, “Oh, yeah. I’m here.”

But then- then I think that their initial transition was what was most tough. But now that I’m sort of in theee.. (makes a circular gesture) in theeee.. machinery of playing Sam and, you know, doing it day in and day out, it’s pretty- it’s pretty easy to.. pop back into it. (Fan: Yeah.) But I obviously, under certain circumstances that occur in the show Supernatural. It’s really tough, i.e., you know, “Mystery Spot” or (Fan: Yeah.) you know, struggling about your possible demon heritage is never easy to go (fan laughs), “Oh, I can just (flips hair and looks up) pull from this.” You know? (Fan: Yeah) (audience laughs)

He's been trying to find- I don’t know who said it, but I think (shrugs) in “Inside the Actor Studio,” uh, one of the actors said- I think it was Johnny Depp, said that in order.. for you to want to play anything you have to be able to find the truth. And you have to be able to.. relate to it. Otherwise what you have, you know, you’re just (blows) playing make believe as oppose to making it real.

And so, that’s always tough trying to find the part of Jared’s history that’s.. scared of his anti-demon, um, (audience chuckles) (smiles and waves hand) whatever. Um- But, um, the whole- the whole show (nods) has been a big growing experience.

Um, I love it because- because, uuum, it’s against his nature and that’s.. what’s fun to me. That’s what, like, De Niro said that when someone’s about to cry they never go, (gasps and wobbles his lips) “Huhwawa!” Like, they fight it. (audience chuckles) And so, I’m like seeing- I like seeing the.. juxtaposition. (Fan: Yeah.) Or, the you know, fighting against his nature. I love that.

“(…) The REAL question that has all of the fangirls buzzing is probably the one (that one of the lone guys there asked) about what line Jared wants Sam to say. He said "son of a bitch!" at first, so he could make it his own. And then he goes, "Dean, my ass!" afterwards, obviously because Dean is the one who gets to say that all of the time.

Jared: Both. Um, those are a lot of questions. The first one, (audience laughs) was I think was- What was the first part of th-that question? (audience laughs) The first question, is there a reason, I guess, I’m airing to horror and is it a choice or as a.. sort of that’s what’s.. being.. thrown my way. And it’s a combination of both.

And almost referring to the earlier question of what would you like to be doing. I mean, I could sit up here all day and talk about, “I loved to do- doing some radio. Then I’d love to do- go hunting. Then I’d-” and, you know, talk about.. these.. great movies and classic movies that, “Oh, it’d be so fun to do this. Or a comedy or blah, blah, blah.”

But, um, the industry goes on certain trends and I am a huge fan of the Horror genre. I love scary movies. I love scary TV shows. I lov- I love kind of getting scared. It- (gestures) There’s something about watching a scary movie or a scary show that gets you out of your world.. beyond anything else.

You know, I can sit there and watch.. “Friends” or something and still be there thinking about, “I gotta do laundry.” (audience chuckles) But if I’m sitting there a little scared (shrinks in) if someone is in the house and everything, (gestures to his head) it takes over your brain. And I love being transported to another world.

Um, so I’m fan of the genre. Plus, that happened to work out perfectly. You know, I- I got to- I get to film in Austin where my sister graduates (pats leg) this year, where I’m close to my family in San Antonio. I’m close to my brother in Dallas. He’s having a kid.
