#DARK ANGEL JENSEN ACKLES SERIES#

So I'd have to say it's a nice collaboration of both myself and the people who write him. Sometimes it's things I don't even realize I'm doing. I'll have an idea of how I want to play him, especially with TV, and once the writers and producers see what I am doing they'll take the things they like and capitalize on them as the season progresses. Jensen: A lot of the time the characters tend to form themselves. JRAUnlimited: How much input do you like to have over the characters you play? For example, how much influence did you have over the way Alec was developed? None of the scenes I do I think are my best. I was allowed freedom that I don't usually get. Jensen: An improv scene with the guy who played my dad in Devour. JRAUnlimited: What has been your favorite scene to act in to date? Do you think that your favorite scene is also your 'best' or do you make a distinction between favorite and best? So, do I have a specific method to my proverbial madness?.NOPE. I'm a huge people watcher, for that reason especially (and it's just plain entertaining sometimes). But, I'd have to say that most of the ideas I get for my characters usually come from a slight version of myself, mixed with things I observe from other people. I may have dabbled in a little method acting before.not necessarily becoming that character, but rather surrounding myself with things (music, books, movies, etc.) that get me in that head space.

Jensen: Well, since I've never really had any formal training, I kinda just do what comes natural. What do you do to prepare for your roles? Do you ever 'become' the character off camera? JRAUnlimited: Actors have many different ways of developing and relating to their character, some keep a journal, while others can turn it on or off at will.
