BUDDY WITH CHUCK, RON, LUCIFER, AND GRANDPAPA WINCHESTER

Last month Rogue Events held a quite intimate event for less than 100 Supernatural freaks to gather and have a chat with Mitch Pileggi ~ grandpapa winchester ~ , Mark Pellegrino ~ The Devil ~ , Chris Gauthier ~ chubby Ron from shapeshifter bank robbery ~ , and Rob Benedict ~ Chuck! ~ .

BuddyTv got lucky enough to have an interview with all 4 fine men and talk about their characters on Beloved Show.

BuddyTV and Mitch Pileggi Q&A

2003's Tarzan, when you first met and worked with Supernatural's Creator Eric Kripke - What were your first impressions of him, how did you get on with him and how do you think he has now matured as a writer and director since those early days?
Pileggi : Tarzan, euuurrggghh! 8 episodes of awful! ... Thanks for bringing it up! [smiling] ... Lots of running around on streets, etc. I was pleased when that ended! Eric Kripke was great to work with from the very beginning, very professional and already had looks of being a success. I also worked with Supernatural's David Nutter on that show too... pleasure to work with them both!
Mitch also mentioned his long respectful friendship, and working relationship, with the late Mr. Kim Manners, knowing him all the way back to his days on X Files. He still misses Mannners a lot and loved working under his direction

What was your understanding of the general character of Grandpa Samuel Winchester and was it your idea to make him appear so grumpy and over protective of young Mary?
Pileggi : His character traits were more written into the scripts then it was given my choice to play him that way. However, if I were given the choice, I most probably too would have played him that way.
And Grandpa Winchester fans, Pileggi had so much fun playing him, he would love to return and do more Supernatural backlog story if ever required.

Both Supernatural's Amy Gumenick and Matthew have been quoted on numerous occasions, saying that working alongside you was both a real pleasure and an amazing experience. How did you find the experience of working with those two relative newcomer actors?
Pileggi : I still meet up with Matt at our local Gym, we work out together.
Pileggi went on to say that he had great working relationships with them right from the start. He really enjoyed the scenes with Amy but the kissing scenes terrified him and he felt sorry for her. [Laughing]


BuddyTV and Rob Benedict Q&A

Imagine you're a character in the Supernatural books, maybe a fan going to a Convention? Which character would you be, Dean/Sam or other?
Benedict : [Laughing and flexing his muscles] Honestly, I would much prefer to be my own character Chuck then either Dean or Sam. Only I would like Chuck to be all butch or beefed up.
Benedict also mentions he would like to look the way the boys look on the book covers. He also recently visited his first convention, Supernatural Convention in Chicago, and was pretty nervous. All that went away with the warm welcome fans gave him ~ AWWW ROBB :) ~.


Buddy TV and Mark Pellegrino Q&A

What's your general feeling about how Lucifer is going in Supernatural at the moment? And what color, if any, do you think Lucifer's eyes are, seeing that he is an Archangel turned Demon?

Pellegrino : Very interesting question, never thought about the eye color thing before now! [After discussing it with the others] Interesting one, probably piercing deep blue if any ~ LOL what? i'd say something really light like light orange or something ~
Unfortunately, playing Lucifer is on a "need to know" basis so doesn't have any details on future episodes. However, it is this uncertainty that has been a big adjustment for Pellegrino, career wise. Allowing fans to feel lots of different emotions, not just dislike or hatred, is what he wants from the role.


BuddyTV and Chris Gauthier Q&A

Relating to your character Ronald Resnick, on Supernatural, how did it feel holding up a bank?
Gauthier : [After explaining to Pileggi, Pellegrino, and Benedict how his character ended up robbing the bank] I had great fun. Loved saying the words ''This is not a bank Robbery.'' I loved holding the machine gun and I was really excited about the fact that the episode was done in an actual bank in Vancouver, Canada. I loved going into the banks vault and it remains one of the most enjoyable and fun roles I have done to date ! ~ aww YAY! ~
