It’s a thrill ride. It’s a ride that I would want to be on as an audience. I get the fortunate call to be on it personally, and there’s noting in that I was like, “I don’t want to that.” There was very little discusations with derek about like, “Hey, can we change the this?” If anything, it was on the day.

MF: Finally, Jensen, What was it like collaborating with series creator derek haas on this project?
Jensen ackles: I hate to call Him a boss if I view hew as a friend, but he is a wonderful tone setter. He literally just gave a group of crazy actors a playground to absolutely play, and he write such great in-depth characters, and a twisty storyline. It lent itself to the camaraderie that we all found orselves in, and I can’t thank him enough. I can’t speak highly enough of that guy. He’s a wonderful person to work with. I hope I get to work with him for many years.
