HIS NAME IS CASTIEL AND HE WEARS A TRENCHCOAT

A BuddyTV interview with Master Misha !

Highlights of the interview :

-Misha Collins on what it's like to join Supernatural in the middle of its run:"The crew and the cast of Supernatural is incredibly warm and welcoming. It was, from the beginning, really nice to step into that environment. While I've been working on the show, there have been a couple of guest stars who've made parting speeches just thanking the cast and crew for being as warm and welcoming as they are because it is very unusual in that sense."

-On his relationship with Castiel's trenchcoat over the course of the series:"It went from apathy to enthusiasm to apathy again to dread to apathy again to not even thinking about it at all now."

-On his hopes, however slim, that the writers have something big in store for Castiel's wardrobe:"I do have to admit that every time I pick up a new script, there's a glimmer of excitement in my soul when I hope that this is the episode that Castiel gets a makeover ... I have this feeling that the writers may be waiting for the perfect time to change the trenchcoat. I have this hope."

-On whether he'd like to be a part of Supernatural's sixth season:"If my character works into the storyline, I would love to be a part of it. This is a great show to work on and I'm proud to be a part of it."

Cas' trench is L-O-V-E but i can't wait for that 'you-know-what' scene of Cas that Misha spoiled to the fans at the LA con! ;)

if Cas gets a makeover it'll look weird and adorable at the same time,

FUNNY EDLUND GROSSES OUT

If you are a pretty much obsessed Supernatural fan then you probably are familiar with the name Ben Edlund.

He did a quick appearance in the SPN interview video from the 100th episode party ~ the guy with the quirky beard ~. A better description of Edlund from the original article that I think sums him up perfectly :

"just imagine Shaggy from Scooby Doo, only with Velma's intelligence"

The man who is the mind behind some favorite SPN episodes of all time, such as "Monster Movie" ~ whackjob shaper-vamp? EDLUND'S ~, "Bad Day at Black Rock", "On the Head of a Pin", "Wishful Thinking" ~ praise for the drunken suicide-prone teddy goes to him ~, "The End", and many others.

This talented writer catches an interview with BuddyTV about the show and episodes he's worked on.

HIGHLIGHTS

** While Ben Edlund was known as the comedic writer on Supernatural for a long time, recent episodes like "On the Head of a Pin" and "Abandon All Hope" have changed that perception. "The challenge has been you've got to get from this point to this point in the larger story, and how do you make its own episode out of it," he said. "I've been really fascinated with that challenge. I'm into that engineering now."

** Ben Edlund has written a man's head being impaled on a meat fork in "Bad Day at Black Rock" and Dean torturing Alastair in "On the Head of a Pin," so it's pretty disturbing that he thinks his grossest gross-out yet comes in this week's "My Bloody Valentine." He said: "Now I'm working in drama as opposed to comedy, a lot of gut-punching and gross outs. There's one coming up in "My Bloody Valentine" that is disgusting. It's horrible. I mean, I just write it down, I can't imagine someone would go off and shoot this crap. It's just gross."

** While Supernatural still has season 5 to get through, Edlund did comment on what a possible sixth season might look like. "It will be nuts in season 6. I'm going back to funny in season 6 because who knows what the hell it's gonna be, it'll be fun. We open doors emotionally and tonally on [season 5], so this thing has to end with a certain tone. But after that we can reset in a lot of ways and go back to stand alones that have a different index of stakes and I can be funny again, which I'm looking forward to."

Looking at the episodes he was behind, I think this eccentric genius might be my favorite writer on Supernatural. Fudging epicness.

curious about the Vday gross-out he's been bragging about,

PART II OF BUDDY AND THEM 4 FINE MEN

Remember the interview BuddyTv did with Mitch, Mark, Rob, and Chris?

Well, turns out there's a PART II !

The Winchesters love their 'friends' below

BuddyTV and Mitch, Mark, Rob, Chris Q&A

If given a choice, what type of movie roles would you like to do that maybe you haven't already done?
Chris : Straightforward Comedy type movie.
Mitch: Anything Comedy.
Mark: Horror Comedy, similar to Shaun of the Dead.
Rob: Zombie filled movie of some sort.

What weird/alternative Jobs have you had outside the usual acting jobs?
Chris: I was once a Chicken Plucker in a factory for a while.
Rob: I did an ad playing 'the other Pizza delivery boy' in a Domino's Pizza advert... I was hot and smoking the whole time. My leg was on fire whilst doing the ad as well!
Mitch: I made toilets overseas for a while, 12-8am, used to take a sledgehammer to those I didn't make properly so they could be remade again!
Mark: [Still wincing over Mitch's 'I made toilets' story] A Bouncer in a Club
Mark then told a story about a night working as a bouncer when a drunk guy with full cheeks, vomited right in front of him in a stairwell outside Club. Although, he found the incident funny, he said he didn't miss those days at all.

What 3 things/Superpowers would you like to have if possible?
Rob: [laughing] To be Jensen for a day ...maybe flying, having some height and to be good at UFC [Cage fighting]
Rob then remembers his first day on the set of Supernatural. While talking to Jared and Jensen, Jared's first words to him were, "Cage Fighting, you watch?" Rob had to look it up later. ~ LMAO Jared. he's lucky that he's cute ~
Chris: To eat and eat but still stay thin! ... and to love passionately.
Chris also mentioned he'd love to beat his five year old son at things. He's very competitive and had a hard time keeping up.
Mitch: To grow [long] hair just like I had in the 70's, flying, maybe invisibility, and being good at winning things in Vegas!
Mark: [Admitting it's corny] Flying. To be able to free all repressed people.
Mark also added his wish to be able to love his wife all over again! Even I was melting at this one- Lucky Girl!!! ~ Lucky btchh! ~

When asked about the start of their acting careers and how they've found their journey so far each one had a story to share.
Mitch's started in 3rd grade with a passion for acting. He spent his time singing Elvis songs. Once he began his career, Mitch dedicated his time and full attention to it.
Chris was born in Luton, England but moved to Vancouver at an early age. He was always messing with his friends, telling them he had sharks in his fish tank, etc. Action came naturally.
Mark's first experience acting is all thanks to his 4th grade teacher, Miss Ross. He did a school play and often goofed off with his friends, resulting in being dragged off stage by his ear. There was a time when he thought he'd be a marine biologist but in his early 20s the acting bug struck again and he's never looked back.
As for Rob, in High School he started thinking about becoming an actor but thought getting a Law degree first was in his best interest ~ LOL OMG can you imagine 'Chuck' with a law degree? i say hawt! ~ . After realizing the time it took to read, study, etc he revisited the acting idea. In college he studied theatre and things naturally progressed. Rob also formed a band, Louden Swain, and have been writing their own music, songs, and performing together for the last 10 years.

What is the best advice you can impart to others now that you are all solidly well into your careers?
Chris: I'm very blessed to be where I am, I guess you have to work hard, be kind, have manners at all times and show up on time!
Rob: Being professional, appreciate what you do, either as a character or an actor, remember timekeeping!
Mark: Don't take anything for granted, be grateful and love your craft!
Mitch: [nodding in agreement] I'm appalled by actors who don't do the above. Supernatural people were all great! Some [actors] don't even have the talent to start off with.

Hope you enjoyed this other part of chatting with our Supernatural grandpa winchester, Lucy, Chuck, and that Ron guy!

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! ~
