S: Hello
M: Hi! How are you doing?
S: Good, you?
M: Good.
S: Have a seat.
M: Thanks.
M: Hi every…
A: squeeeeeeeeee
M: Shhhh. My chair is so much lower today. I’m too far away from my pedestal. So, how is everybody doing?
A: squeeeeeeeeee
M: What? Oh, good. That one got stuck there didn’t it. Ehm. So, let’s… shall we get started? Enough of this dilly-dallying. Does anybody have anything to say? Hi.
A: Hi. Hi Misha.
M: Hi.
A: Hi. Did you read the Book of Revelation as prep for your character or had you already read it?
M: She wants to know if I’m a good Christian. Ehm. I had not read it. And I’ve been informed that it’s actually Revelation, not Revelations, but I always say Revelations. Ehm, yeh, has anyone read Revelations? A few. Well, basically, it’s… the part that is relevant to angels is that you get to see the angels in the Book of Revelations… their sole purpose seems to be to come down to Earth to destroy everything. There’s passages there like “an angel will come down and kill 1/3 of all the fish in the sea”, or “smite 1/3 of all the animals on land”, or “destroy all of the vegetation”. So they’re not really, you know, what we conventionally think of as, ehm, angels. Like, that you see on posters at your grandmother’s house. So, yeh. But no, I read it just, eh… it was kinda scary, actually. I was like, wow, I didn’t realize there was this kind of stuff going on in the Bible, so, yeh, there you go. Yes.
A: <…> 02:37
M: I have no idea what you’re asking me. I mean, are you talking about, like, slash fic?
A: *laughing*
M: Yeh, eh, no, I… elaborate.
A: <…> 03:10
M: So what am I thinking of them, like, people who help me moving? Cuz if you want brute force, Sam and Dean are gonna be more effective, like, manual labour – definitely those guys. But, ehm… Yeh, I think they all have their different strong suits, so, ehm, it would really depend on what you’re applying them to. Yeh. *takes a bag of sweets* you know, should we just pass these around maybe? Here.
A: <…>
M: Right. Jared didn’t like the way I threw the candy yesterday.
A: How did you get into acting.
M: How did I get into acting? Ehm. The first role I had was when I was five. And I was playing a 4-year-old, so it was kind of… and, ehm, my mother was in this Community Theater production that was in Massachusetts. And I was playing her daughter.
A: *laughs*
M: What?
A: *laughs*
M: And, ehm, it was en epic political drama, it was about the Chicago Seven in the 60s and it was 4 hours long, and my role was to say: “Yes, I can, I can believe it because it’s true”. That was it. In 4 hours, that was all I did. But I would wait just like a bronco waiting to bust out of its stall for my one line; I was, you know, totally alert until it happened, then say my line, and then I would fall asleep, because I’d done my work. And my mum would be nudging me to wake up. And that was my first acting job. But my mother was into Community Theater when I was growing up, and she did storytelling, and she directed plays that I was in, ehm… She would come to my school and she would direct a play and I would always, oddly, get cast in the lead. There was no nepotism there, it was just how it went. You know, we grew up really poor, like, we were on welfare, we were homeless for a couple of years, and she never really made much money, ehm, as doing Community Theater and acting and I, as a result, never really thought that it would be a viable career option for myself. So I was gonna be a lawyer instead, and I was getting ready to go to law school when I got my first acting job; and I thought I would… and then I did another acting job after that, and I was starting a software company at that point, and I thought… pretty soon it became clear that my struggling software career was supported by acting revenue. Ehm… and so I just decided to take it a little bit more seriously, and I love it, and I love it more and more as time goes on, so it’s been a very sort of slow, morphing process for me.
S: Okay guys, can we cut out with the flashing now, if you can switch your cameras over so that they don’t flash, it would be great. Also, just as a fire regulation, we can’t have people sitting in the isles or standing in <…>, thank you.
M: Or starting camp fires.
S: Or starting fires.
M: Period.
S: Yeah. No, can’t do that.
A: Hi Misha.
M: Hi.
A: I wanted to ask. You’ve mentioned a lot about how we don’t know if God exists or not in the Supernatural world, and I was wondering if you think that Castiel is actually wrong to believe in God just on faith, if you think that he should be questioning it or if it’s you know, okay to have a little bit of faith.
M: I… Ekhm. I know more than maybe you do about what happens in the season cuz we already shot it. And, ehm. So I can tell you that Castiel does have faith. He starts out at the beginning of the season with almost blind faith, it seems. And as the season progresses, his faith gets a little bit more shaky. And, eh, I think he ultimately even experiences a little bit of doubt, and he is definitely questioning what’s going on, and who’s giving the commands, and whether there is a God who’s in charge of the armies of heaven, and, ehm, yeh, it kinda makes it more interesting for Castiel’s storyline, ehm, but it certainly hasn’t been resolved yet, whether there is a direct line of communication between God and the angels, or whether God actually even exists in the Supernatural world. Thank you.
A: Hi.
M: I dunno where you are, but… oh yes. Hi. I just thought you were waving to me.
A: *laughs*
M: Ehm, hi.
A: I guess we all notice that your voice is different as Castiel, and I was wondering, did you plan that when you first read the sсript, or what were your intentions behind that?
M: Do I sound cool?
A: *laughs*
M: When I read the sсript, in the first episode, people seeing him - his true form - are blinded, and the sound of his true voice shatters windows and blows out doors, and so I thought it’s a good idea for him to have a really, you know, deep voice, and then I was like oh shit, this character goes on for a really long time.
A: *laughs*
M: So I got this really weird voice for a really long time, ehm. But, ehm, it’s kinda funny, it actually helps me a lot to have a different kind of voice or a dialect or something like that, it just grounds me in the character more easily, so I like having that… yep. Thanks.
A: Hi!
M: Hi.
A: Oh, that was loud. Anyway. I was just wondering, like, before you even got the part of Castiel, did you ever watch the show before, or did you even heard of it?
M: I had heard of it, yes, and I had watched one or two episodes. But I kind of dismissed it, I thought oh, this is just, you know, a silly teem WB show, with a couple of hunky guys, I don’t watch that shit. And I’ve been totally surprised by what the show really is, ehm, you know, honestly, I don’t think it’s as well-promoted as it could be, you know, I think that…
A: squeeeeeeeee
M: I think that it’s a great show that more people would watch if they knew about it, or if they had the right perception about what it is, and I think that, you know, maybe I’m sure that, you know, the people in charge are doing what makes most financial sense to them, there’s a loyal following of the show, and people tune in every week, and they don’t really have to pump a lot of money in the advertising in order to get you people to watch it, but in order to get people like me to watch it, they would’ve had to probably spend a coupla more dollars. And I just hadn’t been watching it. So, yeh, it’s been a really pleasant surprise. And I’ve liked the arc that the story has taken over time, and it seems to be getting… the show is getting more and more as time goes on, in my opinion. Especially since I joined.
A: *laughs*
A: Hi Misha!
M: Hi.
A: I saw your appearance on Nip/Tuck, which was very, ehm, interesting. Can you tell us a little bit about that, did you do it all in one take?
A: *laughs*
M: Ehm, so… Anyone who doesn’t know, I did an episode recently of Nip/Tuck, and I played a yoga instructor who is very flexible and he has, eh… well, he can’t stop sucking himself off. And so he goes in for a penile reduction. And if you don’t know Nip/Tuck, in the opening sequence of the show they have the two plastic surgeons sitting there, and they say “so tell us what you don’t like about yourself” to the patient of the week, and I described how I have this problem where I can’t leave my own living room, and then I fall down to the floor and demonstrate in my pants, ehm…
A: *laughs hysterically*
M: *confidentially* …and I have to say I was SO impressed with my flexibility.
A: *laughs*
M: I mean, it was like, eh, I don’t know if any of you have ever seen your balls up that close, but…
A: *still hysterical*
M: …it was like looking at a little mini mountain range right in front of me. Ehm… my back hurt like hell for a week after that. And in order to get the part I’d lied, they said “So, you do yoga, right?”, and I said “Of course I do”, which I don’t. And they said “How long have you been doing yoga?”, and I said “I’ve done it every day since high school”. And so I got the part, and then I really had to be flexible, and so I just forced myself into it, and, eh, but to answer your question, we did just a coupla takes, fortunately, cuz I was literally like, “Sweet, I’ll be in my trailer”. Thanks for brining that up, I really appreciate it.
A: *laughs*
M: Yes.
A: Hi.
M: Hi.
A: 13:44 We had a really awesome <…> just before, with a lot of really hot scenes, ehm… What do you do to prepare for those scenes, basically, <…>, and are you like Jared where he’s kind of… You know, does a lot of weights and everything beforehand…
M: You mean plastic surgery?
A: Yeh, yeh, basically.
M: Back implants?
*Jared jumps onto the panel and attempts to hit Misha*
A: squeeeeeeeeeeeeee
A: Jared, I love you, don’t worry! I love you Jared!
*Jared leaves*
M: Can someone make sure to turn the monitors off in the hall?
A: *laughs*
M: I forgot that he was so sensitive about that. Ehm, I don’t know. Aaah. Yes.
Australian fan: Hi, up here. *whistles* Well, firstly, I’d said that I’ll give you the Aussie chant today…
M: Oh, sweet, yeah.
AF: How many people were here yesterday?
M: Everyone.
AF: So, we’re going to do the Aussie chant. You ready? Aussie Aussie Aussie!
*audience scanding*
M: What is that?
AF: It’s like a chant that we all do at sporting events and stuff like that, I just thought it would be cool to say it.
M: So, it’s like if you get lost or something and the group calls after you? Is it like a herding thing?
AF: It’s sort of like (gives example of an American chant), yeh, it’s an encouragement thing.
M: Great, I feel very encouraged, and slightly frightened.
AF: Yeh, just to share the Aussie spirit, basically. I did have a question and then I’ve forgotten it, so give me one second *laughs*. Oh, who would you most like to work with and why?
M: Well, I answered this question, sort of, yesterday, and I really would like to work with the Wachowski brothers, who did the Matrix, they’re at the top of my list, ehm, because I like the Matrix so much, and I like how they put so many women in tight leather pants. I want to work with the Wichowski brothers doing a scene with a woman in tight leather. Is that a good answer? Yeh. Thank you. Thanks for the chant, everyone. Hi.
A: Hi. Ehm, how did you first hear about the role of Castiel and why did you, sort of, decide to go for it?
M: I was unemployed. And they let me do the part, so… it was just a regular audition, I got audition sites from my agent, and it was for the role of a demon, so I went in and I did a demon audition, and.. I was pretty good. As a demon. And then Eric Kripke was in the room and he said “Okay, so, good, that was good, but this is actually an angel, and we just didn’t want the sites to get out there, we didn’t want, you know, to get it out into fandom, that we are introducing an angel to the show”, because he said the fans were crazy.
A: *laughs*
M: I don’t know where he got that. And so, ehm, I did it again with a little bit of angel twist on it. And that was it. And then I got the part. At first it was just for a few episodes, and then I guess they couldn’t find anyone else to replace me, so… it was sort of a last-minute thing, they were stuck with me, did another few episodes, and I’m still doing it. Maybe they were just too lazy to cast someone else. It’s a great device in the show that they have, where they can keep a character going, but they can kill the actors off. And it always puts sort of a fire under your pants a little bit, it’s just a little bit of an edge, cuz you look at the storyline, you say oh well, I can tell they definitely need this character, but they don’t need me.
A: *laughs*
M: So I was pretty nervous at first that I was just gonna get, you know, replaced by someone else, like a 7-8-year-old girl, possibly. Yes!
A: Hey Misha.
M: Hey.
A: You sound like you’re quite a smooth talker. Ehm, did you prefer to play the smooth-talking villain in “24”, or the straight-talking good guy in Supernatural?
M: Ehm. They were both good roles, I don’t know how smooth-talking *does a Bulgarian accent* Alexis Drazen, he was… had a bit of a difficult time with English.
A: *laughs*
M: And yeh, I like both of those roles, those were actually two of my favourite roles that I’ve had. I think I’m enjoying working on Supernatural more than I enjoyed working on any other TV show though. And I just love how rich this character has been, it seems like a lot to work with, and I really enjoyed that. But Alexis Drazen was good, too, because he was a bad, ehm, you know, he was an assassin, Dennis Hopper was my father, and… Dunno if I should tell the story. So, we, eh… it was Friday night. The crew was wiped, it was on 24, we were shooting in this docks… it was my death scene. So I’ve been dying on the show for about 4 episodes already, and it was a pathetic death, really, cuz I was stabbed by a secretary with a letter opener; I was like the bad villain, and then I got stabbed with a letter opener, and then slowly died over 4 episodes. So I was in a hospital bed for a long time, and so finally I was in this warehouse <…> and my father Dennis Hopper comes in, and he… And I’d worked up all this emotion, you know, I was this young nervous actor, Dennis Hopper is my dad, and I have to say “Forgive me father, I’ve failed you”, and then I die, and you know, a little tear down the cheek, the whole thing, and so I say… we do the first take, and I say “Forgive me father, I’ve failed you”, and then he put a peanut butter potato-chip sandwich on my forehead.
A: *laughs*
M: …and started laughing. And the first assistant director’s like “Ok, let’s do that again”, and we did another take, and he comes in, and he just starts maniacally laughing right in the middle of my line again. And then right before the next take he said “I should tell you why I was laughing. Because you were never my favourite son”.
A: *laughs*
M: *shrugs* So, the final version is just me saying “Forgive me father, I’ve failed you”, and then, yeh, he was pretty stoned. Yessss? Hi.
A: Hi, ehm. Castiel’s trench coat gets stabbed and shot at, but it doesn’t have any holes in it anymore, what happened with that?
M: Ehm… It does. It only has button holes after that. Yeh, that’s the magic of being an angel.
A: *laughs*
M: It’s Castiel a little seamstress. Yeh, I stop bleeding pretty quickly… it’s a little mysterious how it all goes. Like I got shot, but I didn’t bleed; I got stabbed… and I bled a little bit; I get punched – I bleed a lot. And rips in my clothing mend magically. So, yeh, I think it’s probably just a congenuity issue for them, I think that they knew that they wanted to stick me in the same clothes for a long time, and they didn’t want it to just be a bunch of sort of tattered Jesus rags (рубище Иисуса) by the end of the season. So it’s kind of nice, it’s a nice luxury for Eric Kripke and the other writers, cuz they can just say “You know, he’s Supernatural, it fixes itself”, and then they’re done. So yeh, that’s kind of what happened. Hi.
A: Hey Misha!
M: Hi.
A: Were you concerned or worried about the fans’ reaction to Castiel?
M: Ehm… What about the reaction?
A: Dunno, they might not like you or something?
M: Yes… yes. Well. There was a little party right before the season premiere, of the, er, season 4, and I was talking to Sarah Gamble, and she said… she was explaining to me how the fan community can… you know… they really tore couple of the actresses earlier in season 3… a new one, and how they can really hate some people, and so I was a little nervous that I was gonna, ehm, be one of those hated people, but what I have going for me is that I’m not female.
A: *laughs*
M: And I’m gonna hold onto that.
A: *laughs again*
S: We all love him, don’t we?
A: *squeeeeeeeing*
M: Oh. Thank you. Thanks for trimming in. Hi.
A: Hi. If there was ever going to be a Supernatural: the musical, in theory, what would your role be as Castiel in this musical…
M: Stage manager.
A: And what would you like to see Jared and Jensen doing…
M: Singing and dancing. And stripping, possibly.
A: squeeeeeeeeee
M: They should totally, by the way. I’ve been thinking that. They should totally… they should just do a musical episode. I’ve been actually thinking of ways to justify that. Like, do they need to infiltrate some sort of a musical production at a high school to <…> some ghosts, or something like that, and so they’ve gotta get on stage and sing and dance, until I dunno what happens, and there’s gotta be some way to justify that, because if they can do Ghostfacers, they can certainly have Jared and Jensen dancing and singing onstage.
A: squeeeeeeee
M: Hi.
A: Hi, eh, what’s your… who do you look up to most on set, in real life, and as an actor?
M: On set it would be the guy who does crap services…
A: *laughs*
M: Ehm… you know, I gotta say, now I REALLY hope Jared and Jensen aren’t listening. You know, the stars of the TV show, they really set the tone for how the shoot goes, and I’ve been on sets where I’m guest starring, where the stars are pretty Madonna assholes, who don’t pay attention to anyone else that comes on the set, they only care about, you know, how they are gonna come across looking on screen, they don’t care about the crew, they don’t care about other people’s time, and, you know, I mean, you’ll be new to the show, you’re guest star, you’re nervous, you dunno what you’re doing. And they’re setting up the shot, and they’d be *imitates playing with a mobile phone*, and you hear “Rolling, rolling and… action!” and they do their scene with you. And there’s just nothing to work off, and Jared and Jensen are not like that at all, they set a great tone on the set, they pay attention to everybody in the cast and crew, and are incredibly respectful, so yeh, I do hope they’re not listening cuz I don’t want them to hear this, but I really do respect both of them on the set. Ehm, you know, especially because they’re young guys, I mean, they could so easily be, you know, a pair of cocky assholes, but they’re not.
A: *laughs*
M: You know, in real life, I dunno, my brother is somebody I look up to a lot, he’s my younger brother and he just has an incredible amount of integrity, you know, he had a really good deal, someone gave him like 400$ a month rental on apartment cuz he didn’t have much money, but he made some money that first month, and so he’s like, no wait, I’m gonna pay you 600$. And that’s just the way he is… And there was a third element to your question which I’ve forgotten. On set, real life and imaginary friend?
A: *laughs*
M: What?
A: As an actor.
M: As an actor… Ehm, I really love Kate Winslet in most of the stuff she does, yeh, she can be awesome. Thank you. Hi.
A: Hi Misha, how are ya?
M: Good, how are you?
A: Oh good, thanks. Who do you think is a better actor, Jensen or Jared?
A: *laughs*
M: Oh, well, that’s easy. Ehm. How to get killed: one or one. Step one: they’re both great. I mean, what am I gonna say? They are both awesome. And both of them are almost as good as I am.
A: *laughs again and squeeeeeees*
M: You dick. I mean, what…
A: *is totally hysterical*
M: Cheers.
A: Ehm, hi Misha.
M: *to the guy* I don’t really think you’re a dick. Totally. Hi.
A: Hi. Ehm, I saw your movie, Carla…
M: Wasn’t that a sweet story.
A: *laughs*
A: After I saw you as Castiel in a few episodes… and when I watched that movie, I was just so freaked out, yeh… and…
M: It’s not a question, it’s an accusation.
A: I’m just saying, yeh, you’re really good, but the question is, how did you get yourself mentally and physically kind of ready for that role, and in the end, how did that kind of affect you… in a way?
M: For those of you who don’t know, Carla is a movie about Carla Hammokah and Paul Bernardo who are a pair of serial killers in the 1990s in Toronto in Canada. And ehm, they raped and killed a few young women. Starting with Carla’s younger sister. And it was just a really horrible story; ehm, I’d never heard of the case before and when I got the sсript, then I started reading news articles and I thought, I don’t know if I can actually do this, it’s… it sounds so horrible. And then, when I got to set, I was sure they were gonna fire me, cuz I was sure we gonna shoot the first scene, and I was gonna be so… they were gonna see that I’m not that guy at all! And the first scene that we shot was a scene where I’m beating Carla, my wife, mercilessly, and I, uh… I was just totally shocked by how, just shooting that first scene, something clicked, and I felt totally invigorated, and, like, exhilarated, when I was beating her.
A: *laughs*
M: And, I mean, it shocked the shit out of me! And then while we were shooting I was… that was the most intense thing I’ve ever worked on as an actor, by far. While we were shooting, I was having his dreams, so I was dreaming the serial killer’s dreams and being, like, get out of my head! It was really kinda scary, I’ve never had that happen before. Then I remember going for a run, and I was running by this junior high school in my neighbourhood, and I was leering through the chainlike fence at the 13-year-old girls on the playground, and it was just involuntary, just like, it really rook me over, and… oh, man, yeah. It was a weird, really poorly run set, the director was a total creep, they put ended up taking out a restraining order on him at the end of the shoot, cuz he threatened to come into the production office and shoot everyone and… I mean, we were doing this like incredibly emotional, hard, scary, rape murder scenes, and he would come out and say things like… You know, there was this one scene where I was like, brutal… tie this girl up, and I was beating her and humiliating her, and then he comes in after it and he was like, “Misha, great job. Great job. That was really hot.”
A: *laughs*
M: Like, what?! We’re crying here! It was really weird. So, to answer your question, it was very strange, and I was scared that it wasn’t gonna go out of my head, but it did, as soon as we stopped, wrapped, it was gone. Although I did see that there was… seeds of violence in me I’d never met, they were so far repressed and had been so far repressed my whole life, I didn’t know they were remotely accessible, and it made me sort of empathetic, it made me understand – oh, I think I can understand, like, how, you know, someone could grab a machete and go out and kill their neighbour. Because everyone else is doing it. Like, there’s this sort of primal energies that are running through us that I think that everyone has available in them… It’s just, fortunately, most of us never tap into those things. But, yeh. It’s actually not a very good movie. So I wouldn’t recommend watching it, or anything. Hi.
A: Hi, I don’t know if this is a spoiler or not, I’ve noticed you’ve become really popular with the fans, and congratulations…
M: That’s a spoiler.
A: *laughs*
M: You’re ruining it for everyone!
A: That’s not the question! Seriously, you even made it into the slash fandom, congratulations, but… I noticed you had an episode coming up called “Rapture”, and seems to be only pictures of you so far in it, so is this episode all about you, or… are we gonna get to see a whole lot of Misha and some more emotion coming out…
M: Ehm… Why would I spoil it for you? Well I can tell you this: there are several photos of me online.
A: *laughs*
M: Make of that what you will. I know it’s juicy and I’m sorry if I’ve ruined something for you. Yeh, I mean, there’s some stuff coming up where… where are you guys, you’re like on episode 8 or something?
A: 18!
M: Ok, this is not efficient. Okay, so episode 8 has aired here, right? Yes. Simple yes or no is good. So you guys have missed a ton!.. Why do they do that?
A: *shouting sth and whistling*
M: And so begins the mob. Let’s take the offices, let’s take the studio! Come on! Grab your cameras, people.
A: *laughs*
M: Ehm. So, yeah. As the season progresses, there’s gonna be… you’ll learn a little bit more about Castiel’s backstory and you also gonna learn a little bit about the backstory of the human being that Castiel has possessed. And that’s part of what’s going on in the Rapture. A big spoiler is that at some point I take off the raincoat.
A: *laughs*
M: Yep. Hi.
A: Hi, eh, I was just wondering, assuming you didn’t know anything about it, what was your first like… what did you think about the vessel, who did you think he was, before you knew anything about it?
M: I had this, for some, eh… I wrote a whole story. Because Castiel says, “The man who I am possessing, he was a very devout man, he prayed for this”. And so I imagine that he was a very devout man, who was, like, terminally… What’s that?
A: <…>
M: Who prayed for it. Yeh, well, that kinda does some it up, doesn’t it.
A: *laughs*
M: I thought I was being very creative, and then I realized it was just in the sсript. Ehm, shit. Yeh, I imagined that he has some terminal illness or something, and so it was actually this, you know, mutually beneficial arrangement… I think, ultimately it ends up a little bit more dubious than that. Cliffhanger, ha-hah! Where, who, yes, what? Hi.
A: Hi Misha,
M: Hi. How’s it going?
A: Good, how are you?
M: Good.
A: I was wondering, does it worry you at all that… now that Castiel is starting to show some emotions, the person who’s teaching him to be more human is Dean Winchester?
A: *laughs*
M: Ehm. Yeh, right, that’s a good point. He really should be hanging out with some priest or something like that. Someone with really upstanding morals and… a vegetarian.
A: *laughs*
M: Ehm, so yeh, that’s an interesting point. He’s gonna get kind of a skewed perspective of what human emotion is all about and behaviour as well, I think. Although, you know, it seems that as time progresses, Dean is getting more and more compassionate, and he seems to be also operating with a certain sort of a moral compass that seems to be actually getting stronger and stronger over time, in my opinion. I dunno if that is accurate or not. Ehm, yeh, he’s becoming more and more of a wuss, is what I’m trying to say.
A: *laughs*
M: Actually, it’s just gonna be Castiel saying “Will you just stop crying, Jesus Christ, it’s embarrassing. You’re embarrassing me, Dean!”
A: *still laughing*
M: Yes, hi.
A: Hi. I was just wondering, when you… Castiel appears in a few episodes, and then you have a break for a few episodes, how hard is it to get back into the character?
M: It’s always a little hard. Um, because I’m not working consistently, ehm, so when I come back, I think “Oh is this how I was doing it before or is this totally different?”, and then I don’t know until I actually see it air, and then I say “Oh yes, that is totally different. Oh right, you did totally fuck that up.”
A: *laughs*
M: But it is kind of difficult to leave something and then come back to it and then leave it and come back to it, but now it’s been enough time, I think, that it’s getting a little bit more entrenched and automatic. But at first it was pretty jarring for me. I wasn’t even sure, you know, like the Castiel voice and things like that, I was like “Is this what I was doing before? I can’t really remember,” so… Especially when we were shooting in the first, you know, six episodes, and they hadn’t aired yet, so I didn’t have any parameter to go by in terms of seeing what I had done. But it seems to have… You know, I dunno, maybe they did, you know, magic in the editing room. I understand that they can actually, like, change the pitch of your voice in the editing room, too, which is kind of amazing. I shot one episode when I was so sick that I couldn’t… I could barely even talk, and I thought for sure they were gonna make me re-record all this dialogue, and apparently they can just take out the, like, frequency of sick.
A: *laughs*
M: It’s amazing! Uhm, so, basically all you have to do as an actor is show up in some form and then they edit it to make it work. Hi.
A: Hi Misha.
M: Hi.
A: Just wondering, how has playing Castiel on the show changed your life?
M: Uh, I’m a better person now.
A: *laughs*
M: You know, someone asked me this yesterday, like, how has interacting with the fan community been, and how does that change my perspective on the world, and I, uh… it actually is kind of surreal to me, like, the fact that I’m sitting up here and you people are asking me questions and looking at me doesn’t totally make sense to me, and I don’t know if my brain has quite processed what’s going on yet, so I’m just sort of going along, and somehow it feels normal. But I know it’s not. I know this is abnormal behaviour. But I dunno, so yeh, I don’t actually feel a big change yet. Uhm… yeh. That’s sort of letdown of an answer, huh. Boring, sorry.
A: *laughs anyway*
M: I’ll tell ya another yawner. Uhm. Yes, where are we? Yes, hi.
A: Hi, uh, do you have any unknown talents?
A: *laughs and woohooos*
M: Uh, well, my flexibility is now out.
A: *laughing again*
M: I dunno, it depends on what talents you already know. I, uh, I do not have very good penmanship… Oh, okay, I got one for you. I’m fantastic at making a reasonably good meal out of a practically empty refrigerator. It’ll kind of shock you, like I can walk into a house that looks like noone has gone shopping for 2 months, and I can make something that’s not disgusting.
A: *laughs and claps*
M: Hi.
A: Hi! Uh, when playing Castiel, is it your intention to kind of look confused, cuz he’s kinda just…
A: *roars with laughter*
A: Nonononono! Because he’s kind of just like… When he talks to someone, he’s not like fully concentrated on them, he’s kinda like, kinda wanders off, but like, is it… did you decide to act it like that, or did like, directors and stuff ask you to act it like that?
M: Um, thank you for that helpful critique.
A: *laughs*
M: Uhm, I dunno if you’ve ever been on the set before; there’s a lot going on, like, say, they’ll put the piece of tape on the floor, and they’ll sey you gotta hit that mark at that line, so you have to walk in, and you have to hit that mark, and to make sure that your face isn’t casting a shadow on somebody else’s face, and that you’re speaking at a proper volume, and that you’re saying the right dialogue, and all that can be kind of perplexing.
A: *laughs*
M: And so I guess that’s coming across a little bit on screen. Um. So I’ll work on that, I will. Thank you.
A: *laughs again*
M: Um, you know, I mean, part of what’s going on with Castiel is the idea that he hasn’t been down amongst human beings for 2000 years, and so their behaviour is a bit odd to him, and I think that also just the earthly realm and what’s going on there is new terrain to him, and you know, he’s not the brightest bulb on a tree.
A: *laughs*
M: …or the sharpest spoon in a drawer. Uhm, yes, so there. Thank you for that question. Hi.
A: Hi. Me again. Uhm, rumour has it that Jensen and Jared are quite the pranksters on set; have you fallen victim to any unwanted behaviour lately? Or at all?
M: Uhm, I’ve heard from a lot of people that they’re ones to conduct pranks and, you know, I don’t <…> one another’s pants, or I dunno what the pranks are that they’ve done. But, you know, to be a part of the group, and the hazing ritual, and all that, you know, I obviously love to be pranked.
A: *laughs*
M: So I just sort of hang out in front of their doors to their trailers, looking naive and confused, waiting for them to pull one over on me…
A: *endless laughter*
M: …but it hasn’t happened yet. *crosses fingers* Here’s hoping. Hey
A: Hey, how are ya?
M: Good, how are you?
A: Oh, not too bad. You may have been asked this before, but I’m not exactly sure. One of the… The three things I like about the angels in Supernatural… first of all, you got black angels.
M: Yep.
A: Which is always awesome.
M: Always. *chuckles* Cuz every time that happens, I’m like yeh, that’s awesome again.
A: *laughs* Well, the first time, actually, I thought it was awesome. The second one is that it herds back to sort of old school angels, like what they used to be, they used to be kinda bad, kinda mean soldiers.
M: Yeh.
A: Is there any particular one that your character’s been taken inspiration from, or are you just sort of <…>
M: You know, I didn’t actually have that much time to do that much research before we started shooting, you know, it was pretty quick between when I got the part and when we started shooting, so mostly what I had to work with was the first sсript and my own kind of idea. Um, but I knew that angels, that there are… Revelations, for example: angels that are some badass destructive warriors of God, much more than the guardian angel that we popularly think. So you know what that is that I’m trying to say.
A: *laughs*
M: Um, and yeh, I mean that it makes it so much more interesting to play that angel… I mean an angel that’s conflicted, and that is trying to operate with, you know, good and probity and obeying God’s commands, and having the sort of blind faith, but at the same time wanting to be compassionate, um, but being directed to do some things that... I mean, you... I don’t remember which episodes you’ve seen, but you know, there are times when he’s... yeh, when Uriel’s introduced. I still can’t remember.
A: *laughs*
M: Anyway. You know, we’re directed to do some stuff that’s not that sweet. It was more sort of genocidal. Um, so it’s so much more interesting of a character than a typical Guardian Angel. But what was your question? Cuz that wasn’t it.
A: *laughs* *question is repeated*
M: Oh, yeh, I think that mostly it was the sсript, and it was, um... and then Revelation, and then I drew on, you know, other stuff here and there, but that was 95% of it. Um... And the writing has consistently reinforced those same ideas, so sort of once you’ve got established, it’s sort of stuck. Thanks, thanks, cool, thanks. Hi.
A: Hi. Just wondering how many conventions you’ve been to, and what countries.
M: This is my third... And New Jersey is one country.
A: *laughs*
M: And Los Angeles was another country. And Australia.
A: squeeeeeeeeeee
M: And, uh, the people at the Australian con...
A: *laughs*
M: Uhm, you guys are a really cool group of people. It’s like, you’re really respectful and friendly at the same time, and I’ve really enjoyed meeting this group of people. It’s been great. So, yeh. And there haven’t been, like, so much people trying to make me feel uncomfortable, and things like that, which is nice. Keep that up! Good on ya.
A: *laughs*
M: Um, yeh. And I’m going to England in, like, 6 weeks I think. And that should be cool. Yeh, and then Canada later in the summer. There’s a lot of them, I’m shocked. It’s pretty cool. Is there... *looks around*
A: Hi Misha.
M: There’s the... waving, jumping. Yes.
A: Hi, I’m <...> (Cas?!).
M: Hi.
A: I just wanted to ask, if you had one of Castiel’s powers, which one would it be?
M: Um... aside from the sewing?
A: *laughs*
M: I guess, let’s see... Immortality... Teleportation...
A: <...>
M: Oh, yeh, yeh, definitely that one. Of all the powers that I can have. Also Castiel can turn knobs. From a distance.
A: *roaring with laughter*
M: I think I might take that one. Yeh, that’s a good one. Turning off the car alarms, yeh. I remember when I was in college there was this car alarm, it was like the early days of car alarms, and this car alarm was going off right outside my window, and it was 3 o’clock in the morning, 4 o’clock in the morning, and it wouldn’t stop, it was just going continuously. And there were people down on the car, like, jumping on the hood of the car, shaking the car, trying to get it to stop, and eventually I went down, and I climbed under the car, and I reached up and I felt where the buzzing was coming from, and I ripped the wires out of it that were coming to it. And then I realized later it was the horn, like the horn was going “beep, beep” and someone is, you know, driving around without a horn.
A: *hysterical*
M: But, yeh, so much better to just be able to look out of the bedroom window and just *whistles*, like that, turn it off. So yeh, between the car alarms and the door knobs, I’m not sure. Hi.
A: Hi. I know you’ve said that in Castiel’s introduction scene you had lights exploding over your head. But other than that, any other onset injuries?
M: Uhm... No, I haven’t hurt myself too bad. There was a fight scene that hasn’t aired here yet, that is coming up, where I get thrown through a pillar in typical “Castiel getting thrown”...
A: *laughs*
M: And the pillar falling on me hurt more that I expected it to. Um, but for the most part it’s been... Uhm, we have, uh... <...> is our stunt coordinator, and he is... he does not want you to get hurt. He wants you to wrap every kind of padding on under you, and every time I’m like, “<...>, I’m just gonna sink to the floor casually and lie down”, you know, “I’m not gonna get hurt”. But he takes really good care to make sure we don’t get hurt. But yeh, that first scene was a lot... I mean, my scalp, it was actually... I could hear it sizzling. Uhm, they spray water on your head, like, “don’t worry, we gonna spray some water on your head, and there are some sparks coming out, but you’ll be cool”. And then it’s “tssssssss”, and there’s like burning ambers on your wet scalp, it hurt a lot, but for the most part it’s been... they take pretty good care there. Um, so, yeh. Nothing really, do you see.
S: We have time for about two guys.
M: Hey.
A: Hi, how are you doing? Um, I was just wondering, there seemed to be a bit of animosity yesterday about working in your general location, was it Vermont, I think? And I was just wondering if you had a chance to…
M: Working where?
A: Sorry… the location that you currently shoot at.
M: Oh, in Vancouver?
A: Vancouver?
M: Okay, yeh.
A: Ehm, in Vancouver, have you had a chance to, um, travel to any other locations for shooting, and how do you find working there in particular?
M: Uhm, for Supernatural we shoot all over Vancouver. Um, so the travelling is all within town. Uhm, and was I displaying animosity towards Vancouver?
A: <…>
M: What’s that? Oh, yeh, Jared wants to work in Hawaii. Um. Yeh, that’s a good idea. Right. Uhm, there was a big sort of excitement I think, because the Olympics are coming to Vancouver this winter, and it's gonna tons of traffic, and all of the hotels are gonna be full, and they were wondering whether they could even keep production going, and so, someone floated the idea, you know, we should really shoot an episode while doing the Olympics in Hawaii, or in Fiji, or something like that; wouldn’t that be smart?
A: Possibly not Fiji…
M: Or Australia! And, uhm… *sarcastically* And surprisingly, the whole crew was behind this idea.
A: *laughs*
M: It’s rare to get that kind of solidarity. But, oddly, the people who pay for the production didn’t want it, so that’s… we’re gonna be shooting at Vancouver. Which is also nice. You know, Vancouver… I’ve been living in LA for a long time, and I’m excited to, you know, spend a little time out of town. So I’m enjoying working in Vancouver. You know, it’s mossy and ferny and there’s a lot of trees and waterfalls and things like that. It rains an awful lot, and it’s cold and snowy and dark and, uhm… But that’s not animosity or anything, it’s just… an observation of a meteorological fact.
A: *laughing*
M: Hi.
A: Hi Misha. You touched upon this just before, but I really thought Castiel held his eyelids against Uriel, I thought that was really good fighting, uhm… Do you prefer the fight scenes more, or the more dramatic scences?
M: With Castiel, I definitely do prefer the kissing sce… oh.
A: *laughs*
M: That was a terrible spoiler. Uhm, no, there are no Castiel kissing scenes. Yet.
A: *hysterical*
M: Uhm, except for the one he makes with himself in the mirror. Uh, uhm… So, no, you know, the fight scenes, um, they’re not my favourite, because they take so many setups, there’s so many different camera angles, and they’re taking a really long time to shoot. And a lot of it is just sort of, technical faking it, stepping here, stepping there, falling here, falling there, you know, getting pulled through this wall, through that wall… Uhm, so, uhm… I like doing the more dramatic, you know, talking and kissing scenes.
S: All right, thank you Misha, I think that’s all we have time for with you.
A: *squeeing*
M: Thank you guys, you’re awesome.
S: Thanks so much. Well done! Okay, give it up, give it up guys, thank you Misha! We might be seeing a little bit more of him later…

Конвент в Сиднее, Мишина панель, скрипт. (1 часть: Суббота)
sсript by [J]-Timey~Wimey~Kid-[/J]

<...> - unheard
A - audience
M - Misha
S - staff
___________

M: There're a lot of you here.
A: <...>
M: I know, it's actually kinda isolating up here. It's a little strange.
S: Staff members, there we are, ok... If you could identify yourselves, who had the microphones... There we go, okay, so how this will work guys, is Misha will nominate the people who have their hands raised to ask questions and athletic staff members will be running around the auditory handing you the microphone.
M: So I can choose somebody down in the front, and then someone up there...
S: Yeh, you totally choose whoever you want.
M: See if I can tire them out?
S: Yeh.
M: Cuz I know one of you guys is a professional runner.
S: It's not me.
M: No, right.
S: Runner as in athletic, or runner as in on-set running?
M: No, I think athletic.
S: Oh.
M: Yeh. Wow. That's a big picture. Okay, does anyone here have a question? Funny thing is I can't see anything...
S: Right down at the front.
M: I can see you!
S: Yeh, we can't see anything cuz of the photographs.
M: We can race to each person, if you want.
A: Okay, so the image and the clothing and the expression of Castiel seems to be very much like John Constantine and Wings of Desire, did either of those play into the way you thought about the character?
M: In other words, is my work plagiarised? No, I mean, in the first... I'm holding too many things.
S: You need a table?
M: That would be nice. Can I have a table please? And a pony.
A: How about a podium?
M: A pony with a table on it? Hmmmm. This could be a fun game. So, in the first sсript that Castiel shows up in, it says he's wearing a trench coat.
S: *bring in the table*
M: No, I was just kidding! <...> Now you pretend to be a pony!.. This could be the whole show, just moving furniture around... It said trench coat, suit...
S: *bring in the sweets*
M: There's so many distractions, I can't... so, it said trench coat, suit, a-la rumpled, a-la John Constantine. So, that was sort of Kripke's idea that I look like Constantine. I haven't seen the movie yet or read the comic book, so what I did... and I haven't even seen the Wings of Desire, the Wim Wenders' movie. That stuff's all me... But Wings of Desire is a great movie, which I think Eric Kripke and the other writers must have watched before writing the character, because it's about an angel. And also wearing a trench coat.
M: Okay... you way back there. In the States they make a line and have microphones there and everybody queues up but it's so boring! There's no activity, this is much better.
A: Okay, I have to ask this...
M: Okay.
A: Is Supernatural the best show you've ever worked on? Cuz that has to be.
M: I mean... There's definitely a wrong answer to that question in this crowd, isn't there?
A: Yes.
M: I can honestly say that I have never enjoyed working on another show as much, I've never enjoyed the role that I had on another show as much... Jared and Jensen are awesome to work with. *audience squeeing* I know, it's surprising, isn't it? So, yeah, I love it, I can't think of another show that I've enjoyed more. It's been great to work on; and I actually like the show too, it's a great show, and it seems to be getting better and better over time. I didn't know the show very well when I first started working on it, so I've caught up since I started working on it. But it's great! It's totally surprised me. It's a really, really good show and I'm happy to be on it. Can't see anything... there, there's an easy one.
S: Okay guys you got about 20 seconds left with those cameras until we say goodbye okay?
A: How would you feel about your vessel being called Walter? Have you heard that your vessel is called Walter?
M: No, I haven't. And I don't know how I'd feel. Can you tell me more?
A: I haven't actually read any...
M: Sure, sure you haven't.
A: ...cuz I'm not into Dean/Castiel slash at all... Actually, I am.
M: Yeh. I can't see you but I know you're lying.
A: *nervous laugh* No, apparently there's like a whole verse where Walter is the name of the vessel and when Castiel returns to heaven Walter is still in love with Dean and they stay together as a couple. (She's talking about Two Lives and the other fics in this verse by blackdoggy1.)
M: *a lot of nervous laughter and scratching himself* I feel great about it, thank you. Yeah... Hi.
S: Guys can we just cut out the flash?
A: I just wanted to ask, cuz Jared's famous for playing pranks and jokes on people, has he gotten you with anything in particular?
M: I'll take that back... Uhm, the pranks, no. I haven't. I have not been pranked by Jared and Jensen. In the Green Room, at the last con someone brought that question up, and Jared said that it was because he thought that I was too much of a wuss, that I wouldn't be able to take it. So I think the gloves are coming off now...
S: Okay guys, can we cut out the flashes now, if you can set your cameras so they can take without the flashes, it's just a little bit blinding down here.
M: This is like a university lecture hall, isn't it.
S: It is, in fact, a university lecture hall.
M: I should tell you about physics!
A: Hi Misha, I'm Rachel.
M: Hi Rachel.
A: Just wondering, with all the different nationalities, different countries you go to, do you have any problems with understanding the different accents? Because we can help interpret if you like.
M: Here? You mean here, in Australia?
A: Australia, yeh, and don't forget there's New Zealand...
M: I'm sorry, I can't understand a word she's saying.
A: Yeh, that's so funny, hahahah. So, you do need some help.
M: Yeh, I do. But the problem is I wouldn't be able to understand an Aussie, I would need someone that the Aussie would be translating to... do you speak sign language?... *the girl gestures sth* Ah. You wear a large sombrero? Hi. *walks towards the audience* This one I can do. *walks towards the fan*
A: Hi, I'm Joy, without giving too much away what's happened this season, Castiel seems to have a little bit of a hard time when he's come against some of the demons and other things, and he doesn't seem to know a lot, have you asked Kripke... *audience laughing, Misha trying to get the mic away from her* I'm coming to the question! Sorry. Have you asked for a promotion. You know, a promotion up the celestial scale.
M: I'm sorry, am I gonna get a promotion?
A: Castiel.
M: Okay, so, in other words... *walks back to the chair* my character is an inconfident wuss... no more questions for you! You're cut off. So, without giving away too much more about the rest of the season, there'll be more episodes where you get to see Castiel get the piss beaten out of him. I don't know, I keep getting excited, I see a fight scene and I think: oh, finally, this is it, I'm gonna get in there, I'm gonna be tough, and I'm gonna show them that I'm not all fluffy and soft, and then... couple of hits is most that I seem to be able to take without being on the floor. So... if I can, honestly, work up to three, I think that'll be a promotion for me. We'll get to meet my boss who seems to be quite a bit tougher than me. What we haven't met yet is anyone who is weaker than me, so we established that baseline. Which is good. So, I think that's probably good for the questions... I'm just kidding. That was an unsuccessful joke. Hi, you, with the long arm!
A: Hi...
M: Hi.
A: So, the latest episode, The Monster at the End of this Book, it started as this kind of self-aware, really bizarre episode, then at the end came this kind of epic event, I was just wondering what you thought of the sсript when you first read it?
M: I thought it was awesome. I sent an email to the writer after I read it, saying it was the best one of the season... Which wasn't the first time I've done it this season, I read one and I'm like "This is the best one, great work!", and then I write another one, and hopefully the writers aren't comparing the emails I'm sending them cuz I'm sending a lot like "I think this is the best one", but it was great - wasn't it great? - it was funny, it was smart, it was self-referential, it was epic, it was great. And I loved the prophet... Has it aired here already?
A: Noooooo
M: Ha! So you don't know what I'm talking about. *to the fan who asked the question* What are you doing?! You're ruining it for everyone! Anyway... We'll just tell you all the details about the best episode and then you won't have to watch it, would you like that? Yeh, so there's a good episode coming up that's like a meta, where it's talking about you people. Apparently there's one fan - I can't remember the name in the sсript...
A: Simpatico.
M: Simpatico! Do you know Simpatico? Is anyone here Simpatico? Maybe. Ehm, anyway, apparently, Simpatico's real. He is real. And it's a HE.
A: <...>
M: He's from where?
A: <...>
M: Aha. I'm gonna find him. Wouldn't that be fun to stalk a fan? Get back at them like that? Send them creepy letters and show up at their house with a camera, follow their girlfriend to the grocery store?
A: <...>
M: What?
A: <...>
M: Great, thank you, we'll swap addresses later. Anyone else? Yes, red tie, maybe you can just scream, no? What did they do in the days before microphones at fan conventions? Hmmm.
A: If you could play somebody other than Castiel, who would it be?
M: A Dean.
A: *roaring in extasy*
M: It's such a relief to have such a short answer to a question. I'm gonna try to keep the rest of them to one word, too. Hi.
A: Sorry, you just said I don't need a microphone, and I don't. We hope Supernatural goes for years and years and years down the track but beyong that, do you have any directors or fellow actors that you really wont to work with but you haven't yet?
M: Ehm. The director who did Debbie Does Dallas, I don't know his name. And, I guess, Debbie as well! I'd like to work with both of them.
A: <...>
M: Sorry?
A <...>!!!
M: Bendy Woods? O_o
A: <...>
M: Bambi! Thank you. Got it. It's that accent, I need the translator. There are tons, yeh, there's tons of directors. I would like to work with the Wachowski brothers who did the Matrix; the Matrix is my favourite movie, and I just think that they are awesome.
...in every way, and actually I've been thinking about writing them a fan letter recently. But I don't want it to get lost in the shuffle, you know, I want them to know that I am whoever I am. But they would be so awesome to work with. So that, if I had to choose one... directors to work with, it'd be them. Isle...
A: *close to a squeak* Hi!
M: Hi. *laughs*
A: Sorry. I was just wondering, cuz I just thought of this thing, just now... has any of the episodes ever scared you? Cuz I went to a birthday party and I saw a clown and I screamed.
*audience laughs*
M: *sarcastically* That's perfectly normal. You know, I don't like scary movies or scary situations or anything scary... No, actually I'm gonna have to revise that statement. I don't like scary movies; I'm better in scary situations, you know, when someone feels like they're threatening my life or sth, I'm actually pretty cool, I secretly pull out my knife, but... When it's a scary movie or a scary TV show, it operates on my unconscious level, so I... That's also not true. It operates consciously and unconsciously, I was just remembering I went with a bunch of buddies from college to see "Se7en" (1995), have you seen "Se7en"?
A: Yeeeeeeah.
M: And I spent the whole time between the rows of seats, like I literally couldn't have the images coming into my visual cortex and I had to plug my ears as well, it was way too much for me. But it also operates on the unconscious level for me, because I'll have dreams, so when I started working on the show I did a little catch-up, and I was just watching a bunch of episodes at once, and I can't tell you for sure which episode it was that gave me the worst nightmares, but when I went to sleep after watching Supernatural, first few nights it was like... terrible nightmares. Scared the shit out of me.
A: Do you think your character would be scared?
M: Castiel? Well, we have established he's a wuss. I dunno. That would be an interesting meta-episode, having Castiel watch TV, see how it plays out. Going to right there...
A: Hello!
M: Hi.
A: I was wondering... Castiel started out very serious, and specially at the Monster at the End of the Book, the look and the smack he gave Dean when he was hinting at things, are you enjoying how Castiel's progressing to sort of... show emotions. Because you are very funny and Castiel's very very serious, so are you enjoying...
M: I'm also very serious.
A: *laughs* Are you enjoying the character progression?
M: Yes. It's good that it's not staying, you know, totally flat. *laughs* Such a great audience, it's like I give the slightest hint of a smile, imperceptible to the untrained eye, and everyone's like WOOOOW, look at that! Heads (?) off to Castiel, he's really going wild now! He is hysterical!.. So it's good, because I just have to do 1/10th of 1% more than absolutely nothing, and it seems like he is incredibly dynamic. So that's good, yeah. Thank you. Hi.
A: I know the question's been asked to the boys before, and I know the story arc and the mythology's taking the show in a different direction, but is there any urban legend that you would like to see the show have undertaken at all?
M: Thanks. I don't really know my urban legends that well. The only one that I can think of... I remember there was one where... if you flash your lights at someone when you're driving, that they'll get out of the car and kill you? And I'm not a writer but my mind's sort of turning up how you can make a good episode out of that. And I don't think you can. What were their answers? Cuz that was a lame one.
A: <...>
M: Oh, but that's a suburban or rural, that is definitely not an urban legend. I didn't know we include that! Yeh. I don't know... That's a good question. No answer but... good question. Thanks. *choosing the next one* I could do hot/cold...
A: You said that Castiel was the weakest angel, so how did he raise Dean out of hell, if he's so wussy?
M: Ehm... I dunno, you look at him and you think he's gotta be pretty epic and tough, I mean, he's gotta be able to... I mean, he burns people's eyes out with a look at them, the sound of his voice shatters windows! And if someone gives him a right jab, he falls on the floor. There does seem to be a mythological inconsistency there that I'm not quite sure about.
A: <...>
M: Ponies, did you say? Yes, it's Castiel's mythical ponies that he travels with. They're invisible, but they're on the show all the time. And if my ponies aren't protecting me, then I will fall to the floor. Immediately. Yeah I don't know, it's a good question.
A: <...>
M: Yeah, possibly, although, you know, you can stab me up to the hilt with a knife and I don't flinch, but if you punch me, I'm down. I bet if you'd insulted me that would be it. I'd be a goner. You, sir.
A: <...> Now I can stop shouting. Sam was originally supposed to stop Dean from going to hell, does that mean if it wasn't for the writers' strike we wouldn't have seen Castiel?
M: So the writers' strike helped my career quite a bit, didn't it. God, that really puts it in perspective! Cuz at the time, I was thinking shit! When am I ever gonna get a job again? This is terrible! That's a very... I like the way you think. Yeh, apparently, they didn't get to do the whole story arc they wanted to do, so they got stuck with Dean in hell. I dunno... I talked to Eric recently and he said that the idea for an angel or angels came to him when he was in the bathroom. And he didn't tell me what he was doing in the bathroom when it came to him. But... ugh, there's stuff I just can't say. Or maybe I can, but I'm not going to. So he said he... oh, this is not what you asked at all, but I don't care, I'm gonna say it anyway. He said he didn't really know where was the story... I don't think that he... I think that a lot of us think that Eric Kripke is omnission, and that he knows exactly where the story's going for, you know, years to come, and I think that from what he said that he's sort of working it out as it goes, he seems to plan ahead pretty well, he's at least a few episodes ahead of himself, but where the bigger arcs are going - I don't think that he's really nailed stuff down. Like he said that he thought that the angel arc might just last for a few episodes, he didn't know how that was gonna play out, but you know, he's brought in more angels and there's been more angel wussiness and stuff like that...
A: I'm sure that everyone here is glad that you actually got into Supernatural.
*audience squees, whistles and clasps hands*
M: Thank you for saying that compliment for me, I was gonna do it myself but it seemed a little... "Hey, what do you guys think of Castiel, just out of curiosity?"... Ehm, thanks, thank you. There's an easy one up there. Warmer, warmer... Getting hot, hot.
A: Hi Misha.
M: Hi.
A: I was wondering if you could share, like, one of your favourite experiences, or a highlight, of the show?
M: Oh, I was thinking back to my early childhood.
A: No.
M: Ehm.
A: <...> *laughing*
M: I wish you all had microphones cuz I'm missing some of the jokes. But that was a good one. Ehm, highlight... Is "least awful" an option? No, I had a lot of... Let's see... One of... that's not a highlight, but it's a funny food story. The second assisting camera operator's name is Jose and his family is from El Salvador, and they come once like every month or so, and they make pupusas... have you had pupusas? They're great. So that's cool. I had some fun one night with Jared and Jensen and I were on location and we were... It was a creepy old... I think it was like an old shipbuilding building, and it was all kinda falling down. And AD kept saying, guys, would you stand away,...- it was a windy night, - will you stay away from the building, cuz he was afraid the building was gonna fall on us, but we were inside and, you know, finding different things made of glass to break. That was fun. Apparently it was actually an old... like there was a shipbuilding building, and then there was a glass factory, and they left all this glass, so not only was it covered in its own windows, but there were other windows, they were just lying around... begging for attention. Overall, I have to say it's been just a really great set on, and there's a lot of days when I just, you know, feel happy to be working there. There are times when it just sucks ass, because the show shoots really late at night, towards the end of the week a lot, so it can be, you know, 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning and you're outside and it's raining and it's Vancouver and it's the middle of the winter, that can be kinda tough.
A: <...>
M: It was gorgeous last week. Yeh, thank you, that's great. That's very helpful. Yeah... no, the day we wrapped it was still miserable, cold and rainy, and the weather was great as soon as we left. Hi!
A: <...>
M: Do I believe in supernatural? I do believe in the television show Supernatural... Do I believe in supernatural things happening? Ehm, well, that depends on how you define your terms. I think that there are things that happen that we don't conventionally think of as natural, but I think that everything can probably be explained within the context of natural laws of some sort. But I think that there's a lot of stuff that goes on in the world that is well beyond our modern scientific comprehension, and that doesn't really appeal to our rational minds, but goes a little deeper. And if I knew English I would tell you the rest of this story.
S: I've got a mic now, so just point over here.
M: Okay, so why don't you just ask all the questions.
S: What's your favourite colour?
M: Orange.
A: Uhm, your character, Castiel, are we gonna learn more about his backstory history in the future Supernatural episodes?
M: Uhm, yes, well, his back-story... Yeh, yep, mhm. How's that for a juicy bit... i bet that wets up your appetite, doesn't it? That's a SPOILER! Yeh, you learn more about his back-story. More elliptically, I think, so far Castiel's story has been told... But there's a pretty concrete where we get to see the back-story of the vessel that Castiel is occupying, which is cool.
A: Hi. Are you ever going to wash or change your clothes?
M: Uhm. No. This chair is hard to get in and out of... I, uh, I think that one of his most important superpowers is that he cleans his clothes supernaturally. But he doesn't iron supernaturally. And he doesn't clean perfectly, either. Cuz everything is getting a little dirtier, and I think, you know, because the look is a little bit rumpled, it sort of okay for it to be a little rough.
*cell rings in the audience*
M: Yeh, do you wanna get that? We'll wait. Ehm. The wardrobe department doesn't necessarily wash it very often. I stuck my hands in the pockets of my pants, and I'm like... I put this is my pocket SIX weeks ago. It's still here?! So, that's a little gross. But no. He also darns supernaturally. There's holes in his clothing, you'll notice these disappear fairly quickly.
Yeh, so whoever was saying I did not have amazing powers - you're eating your words now!
S: Misha, there's a question up here.
M: You. Up where? Yeah.
A: You said you've been watching some Supernatural episodes. So, which one is your favourite episode and why?
M: Uhm. Well, my favourite 12 are the ones I'm in. And then, below that, let's see... Ghostfacers was awesome. And I don't know the exact title, but it's like A Very Supernatural Christmas or sth like that; those two were great. And actually I really like Monster at the End of This Book, that was good; I kinda like those sort of more risky... they're not risky, but they're... wrong word. Risk-taking, I dunno. But I like those ones that are a little more after being <...> it looks like the directors and writers and everybody's had a little bit of fun with that; I mean, Ghostfacers was just... blew me away, I thought that was awesome. They gave all the actors cameras and that was just really cool... Is it easier if you pick people? Cuz I'm picking people like across the room from here. You've got a microphone, so you've been picked. Hi.
A: Sorry... This is a random question, but if there was a song about you, what would that be?
M: I can't shake the feeling that you're asking me to write a song right now. I mean... If a song that already exists, that I could say that it was actually written about me? Ehm... Not Happy Birthday.
A: "What's your name"? <...>
M: What did you say?
A: <...>
M: Oh, yeh. Thank you. I don't know it. I mean, you know, if I did, I wouldn't sing it. No, I'm not gonna sing it. Why don't we play a game where you find people to do it? That way it's a little faster. There's one already! Yeh, okay, you go.
A: This is a really geeky question I guess...
M: Kinda acceptable.
A: What's your process, or your method, or whatever?
M: Okay. What I like to do is... I pretend that I'm an angel!
A: *hysterical laughter & applause*
M: And I wear his clothes. Ehm. No, I'll be a little geeky too for you. I... I dunno, what do I do? I... you know, it's a funny job. You talk to... Everyone gives you different advice on what to do, and so over the course of my career I've followed a lot of different people's ideas, and had my own ideas that I've tried out and seen if they work, and what works
and what doesn't work, and sort of compiling a little bit as they go, taking little bits and pieces from what I learn, and I'm still experimenting and still seeing what works and what doesn't work, ehm... You know, my stage combat skills don't work. But, ehm... One of the things that I like to do is really allow... I do believe in the idea that we all have sort of infinite possibilities of different personalities embedded within ourselves, and the manifestation of our unique personality, you know, Misha's personality is just one of a million different options, and it's just a question of tapping into those other human beings that are embedded within us, and allowing them to express through you. And so there's the sort of process that enables me to uncover those alternate personalities, and it has a lot to do with, you know, sitting and staring out of the window, and doing other things that look equally unproductive to the untrained eye... But I was a little bit daunted by this role, because I actually had this sort of a philosophical construct that we have every human being available to us somewhere inside us, and it's just a matter of uncovering it; but then... Castiel is not a f**king human being, he's a supernatural character, so I though this maybe isn't gonna work. But I think it kind of is working, you know, it's a little harder than normal: not having emotions, feeling really disconnected, in a way, from human beings... But that's a lot of fun to play with, and it's also fun, you know, getting back into the arc, you know, now being able to smirk, for instance. But playing with bringing him a little bit closer to humanity, and it gives me a lot of distance to travel, which is fun to work with. So there. Hi.
A: Hi. I'm Rosie.
M: Hi.
A: First of all, you actually have the first name of my cat...
M: That's tough.
A: ...who's deaf and she's a female.
M: Sweet!
A: Okay, and secondly, when you first read...
M: You didn't have to tell us that. I mean, why... how does that make us better?
A: No idea, I just felt like saying it. Secondly...
M: Yes.
A: When you first read the sсript, and you read about what your character is going to be like, were you allowed to bring your own attributes to the character, or was it all totally scripted?
M: Ehm... There's a... You always bring your own stuff to a sсript. I don't think that anyone could bring... i mean, no two actors are gonna do the same thing, the same sсript, the same way. And Eric Kripke doesn't give a whole lot of direction. You know, first of all, he writes in LA, and he's not actually up on the set when we're shooting up in Vancouver, so there's not, um, there's not a whole lot of back-and-forth about what we're doing, and it's largely up to us. And there's not a whole lot of stage direction written in the scripts either, so it's not like, you know, like, a line "'I dragged you out of hell, so I can throw you back in', then Castiel raises one eyebrow". It's not written in there. So you kind of do your own thing, and then the director, if he sees something that you did that he doesn't like or if he wants something else, he'll ask you to do it differently; but more often than not, the directors are also kind of guest stars, you know, there's a lot of different directors on the episodes, so they don't feel like they have the authority to come in and say "Change your character around", you know, "Yeh, maybe we should do Castiel with an accent", or something; you're not gonna get that from the directors. So it's largely... I would say, definitely the majority of the work is between just the actor and the sсript, and sorting stuff out that way. And then you get on the set and you start to do with another actor, you work stuff out there too. I think that answered your question. Hi.
A: Hi. How did you feel about season 4 when angels came into it and you found out God exists?
M: Ehm... Good, because it gave me a job. And... You know, the whole God question, I mean, we haven't met him yet. Why do you say he exists? I mean, in the TV show Supernatural.
A: Pardon?
M: Yeh, you didn't think I was gonna ask YOU a question. Let's turn this whole thing on its head, why don't we? How did YOU feel about it? Ehm, yeh, I mean, why do you say that God exists?
A: Because the angels exist.
M: I mean is that, you know, maybe God made angels and then, you know, killed himself? I mean, we haven't met God.
A: Because you were too much of a wuss?
M: Yeah. He was so disappointed with his creations that he jumped off a cloud.
A: Yeh but then wouldn't he be in heaven anyway?
M: Wouldn't God be in heaven?
A: If he killed himself because of that, would he end up...
M: Would he, or would he be in Sydney? Where would you hang out if you were God?
A: I think this is going a bit too far...
M: Yeah, well, you know, I mean, we have all sorts of suppositions about what God is supposed to be like, and where he's supposed to be hanging out, like, where God's (hunt?) is, but we haven't seen it in this show Supernatural; also I think the audience members... we all had preconceptions about what angels were like, did you think that they were gonna be able to magically mend their clothes? Probably not! So, I'm just saying I'm not sure that we know much about God yet in the storyline... I don't. I don't really know. I think that Castiel is conflicted, cuz I think... he hasn't met God. I think he's a little disappointed about that. And I think that, um, you know, there's a little bit of question like, where is he? Where is this God guy? You know, if he's so great. He hasn't showed up yet in Supernatural. So, um, I'm not saying that there isn't a God, I dunno what I'm saying, I'm just ranting. For no reason.
S: So we have time for about two more questions.
A: Hello.
M: Hi.
A: First of all, I don't think Castiel is a wuss.
M: Thank you. We're gonna go get a beer later.
A: Yep. My treat. Um, obviously, the way you play Castiel - you don't get to show a lot of emotion, but you're quite a funny guy; have you ever considered standup?
*audience laughing*
M: I'm considering it now. See, I don't think that this is a representative sampling of the general population, so it's not really fair; like, you guys are all like "Ooooh, Castiel's really great"; you go out into Comedy Club in LA or something, imagine I get on stage; first of all, noone would be there; and second, uh, i dunno... You know, you're a great audience.
A: *squeeeeeee*
M: Right? I mean, I dunno, yeh, you're <...>, thanks. Yeh, we'll talk over beer, we'll figure it out.
A: What do you do for fun?
M: For fun...
A: Given... uh, sorry.
M: Oooh. There's the voice of God.
A: *laughing*
M: There you are! Oh, that's not you.
A: Given that angels are soldiers of God, and that they generally don't feel emotion, how does Castiel currently justify the feelings he obviously had for Anna? And throwing in a second, if you could cast Lucifer, who would you pick?
A: Woooooooooo.
M: Wooo. You just got a casting "wooooo". Uhm, so, the feeling that I... So, you're implying that there's something between me and Anna. Uhm. <...> If you gonna hackle, you got to do it louder, cuz I can't... *audience laughter* So, yeh, um. You know, I don't really know for sure what's going on between Castiel and Anna, I think it's sort of... I think that they both have always... I dunno, I'm making it up, I mean, I made it up. I don't really know what the back-story is. I imagine that they've always been sort of forbidden fruit to one another; I don't think that you see, like, angels sneaking off up in heaven to the janitor's closet and going at it, you know... So, I think that that's all sort of an unspoken undercurrent, maybe, if there's anything there... but I do... it definitely seems like we have a history, whatever that history is, uhm... And you did have a second question... about casting.
A: <...>
M: Too obvious.
A: <...> *laughing*
M: Ah, I'm forgetting her name... Hannah Montanna. Wouldn't that be perfect?
A: Miley Cyrus.
M: Oh that's it, right. Miley Cyrus. Uh... What do I do for fun. I do a lot of different... Somebody asked what I did for fun, which is a very neutral question... I do a lot of different stuff for fun. I am one of the founding members of the Los Angeles Map & Touring Club, which, if you google it, we don't even have a website, so don't bother. And we go round, and we explore different things, we kayach down the LA river, which... you don't live in LA and you don't know this, but...
A: There isn't a river.
M: Well there is, but it's like a sewer with the top cut off of it, it's just this little <...> of sludge... and you actually do see stuff floating in there that... anyway. I capsized a coupla times and then I didn't do it again. But, you know, exploring different things like that, i like back-country skiing, which is sort of... you go out camping on skis, basically, um... and I like... I dunno. I guess I like to do a lot of different things. I like wood working, and building things, and...
A: Sewing!
M: Sewing: darning, specifically. Um...
A: <...>
M: And ponies. Okay.
S: All righty, on that note, can we please give Misha a big thank you? Thank you so much!
A: SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
S: And we have <...>
M: *throwing the sweets* I dunno why, they told me to throw those.
S: You have to try one.
M: Are they good?
S: Yeah, yeah.
M: Thank you. That's fun. Do you mind if I just stand here throwing it at them for a while?
S: No, I don't mind. Anyone else mind?
M: You actually do want it?
S: Yeah, they are fans now!
A: SQUEEEEEEEE!
M: You know, I'm gonna put someone's eye out, and then there's gonna be a lawsuit. Alright, bye guys!
S: Thanks guys, thank you so much! Misha Collins, ladies and gentlemen!

Всё видео здесь - спасибо огромное Ромине!

Спойлеры на пятый сезон по поводу Кастиэля:

- Castiel is dead. There's a humorous scene with Chuck where Castiel was blown to bits and parts of him are everywhere. He does return though, but they were vague on details.

Кастиэль мертв. Будет юмористическая [фигасе, юмор!] сцена, как Чак весь усыпан кусочками взорвавшегося Кастиэля. Но Кас вернется, хотя создатели не входили в подробности, как именно это произойдет.

- Castiel's wardrobe isn't changing. At least we think not. They kind of joked about that.

Наряд Кастиэля не изменится, ну они так думают, по крайней мере. Они даже шутили по этому поводу.

And let’s not forget about Castiel. Misha Collins says that he will be on the run with Sam Dean as they will all be hunted by angels and demons alike. Castiel will also have less powers than he did in season four after being “fired” as an angel.

И не будем забывать про Кастиэля. Миша Коллинз сказал, что он будет в бегах вместе с Дином и Сэмом, и за ними будут охотиться как ангелы, так и демоны. У Кастиэля будет меньше ангельских способностей, чем в прошлом сезоне [бедняжка, куда уж меньше!], после того, как его "уволили" из ангелов.

Также на коне показали небольшой отрывок из серии 5.01, краткий пересказ от очевидцев:

The clip was of Dean and Sam turning up at Chuck's place (Chuck hits Sam in the head with a plunger thinking that he's an enemy and Chuck says "You're okay!" and Sam gets all frowny and indignant and points out "Well, my head hurts!") and Chuck tells them that Cas is "dead", Dean doesn't believe him at first and asks if Chuck's sure he didn't just "disappear into the light" but Chuck is certain that he got vaporised like a "water balloon full of chunky soup" I believe might have been the phrase he used (there's one of Castiel's molars stuck in Chuck's hair and he's totally freaked out by it) - Dean totally tears up and is all, "damnit Cas, you stupid bastard" getting himself killed for them, he was TOTES heartbroken! And apparently Chuck's last vision had Sam going "full-on Vader" when Lucifer rose and that apparently his eyes went black - Dean is very disturbed by this and Sam apologetically said that he didn't know it happened.

And then Zachariah and two angelic heavies in suits turn up and try to get Dean to do the whole angelic destiny thing, reasoning that they're on the same side again because Dean wants to kill the devil and the angels want him to kill the devil so they're all good again, Dean basically tells him at least 3 different ways in which he can fuck off, including "cram it with walnuts", as well as calling him an asshat, a douche and ugly, haha. When he answered back, Zach said "watch your tone with me, boy," but clearly the authoritative kink Dean has only extends to Cas. Then Zach notices that Dean's hand is bleeding and Dean pulls the sliding door across to reveal an angelic symbol similar to the one Cas used in the finale to poof Zach away and was all "I learned that from my buddy Cas, you son of a bitch!" Sooo otp.

And Dean taking Cas to a WHOREHOUSE, NOT A BAR in episode 3, asdjkl yesssssss.

Сэм и Дин в доме Чака. Чак бьет Сэма по голове то ли вантузом, то ли сковородкой - народ разнится в описаниях - думая, что это враги, а потом спрашивает, все ли в порядке, на что Сэм возмущенно отвечает, что нет, и у него болит голова [наверное, все-таки это была сковородка]. Чак говорит Винчестерам, что Кастиэль погиб, Дин сначала не верит ему и спрашивает, может, Кас просто рассеялся, как яркий свет, это бывало раньше, но Чак говорит, что он взорвался, как мыльный пузырь, и даже один из зубов застрял у Чака в волосах. Дин совершенно подавлен, он ругает Каса, как он мог так поступить, погибнуть ради них, и он полностью убит горем. Потом Чак рассказывает о своем последнем видении, как Сэм убил Лилит, и говорит, что глаза Сэма в тот момент потемнели - Дин встревожен и спрашивает у Сэма, так ли это, но тот говорит, что не знает.

Потом появляются Захария и двое ангелов, и пытаются снова привлечь Дина в свои ряды, говорят, что теперь у них общая цель - убить Люцифера. Дин сначала разнообразно посылает Зака, а потом тот замечает, что рука у Дина кровоточит, а Дин открывает выдвижную дверь - и там нарисована изгоняющий ангелов кровавый знак, и говорит: я научился этому от своего друга Каса (по другому варианту, Дин сказал: это тебе за моего друга Каса).


И еще Дин собирается взять с собой Каса в бордель О.о
Misha definitely thinks of Castiel as a good guy. "I think I have a tendency to see the characters I play as a good guy...."

Миша думает о Кастиэле, как о положительном герое [хотя и довольно двусмысленно это формулирует]: я вообще всегда думаю о своих характерах, как о хороших парнях...

Еще спойлеры

Highlight to read spoilers:
Misha Collins has a big storyline this season as angel Castiel.

Misha on Castiel: Emotionally, he's cut off from Heaven, hunted and afraid, although I don't know about afraid, but [something about being more human]. Also, he'll have less powers. (Oh, Cas, he already got his ass kicked so badly last season, and now they're making him even LESS powerful? *cling*)

DEAN TAKES CASTIEL TO A WHOREHOUSE IN EPISODE THREE (Which they are in the middle of shooting now! Omg Misha and Jensen). I MEAN, WE ALREADY SORT OF KNEW THIS, BUT. EPISODE THREE! OMG.

Question: Will Castiel help out on more normal, MotW type hunts? What will the dynamic be like?
Misha: Yes. Awkward.

Misha and Mark Pellegrino (the guy they cast as Lucifer, in case anyone didn't know) were both up for the role of Cas.
Misha: I could have done Lucifer, too. (MOST DIABOLICAL LUCIFER EVER, OMG WANT. Except, I need him as Cas, too.)

У Кастиэля будет большая сюжетная линия в этом сезоне.

Миша о Кастиэле: Эмоционально он оторван от Небес, за ним охотятся, он боится, хотя я не знаю точно насчет боязни... Также у него будет меньше ангельских способностей.

Да, совместный динокастиэлевский визит в бордель должен состояться в третьем эпизоде.

Вопрос: Будет ли Кастиэль помогать Винчестерам на обычных, рядовых охотах, с монстрами недели? Как это будет выглядеть?
Миша: Да, будет. Неуклюже.

Миша и Марк Пеллегрино (который будет играть Люцифера) оба проходили прослушивание на роль Кастиэля.
Миша: я мог бы и Люцифера тоже сыграть.

- Misha Collins was looking pretty sore. He was in the hospital this week because he got into a bike accident at 55 mph. He lost a big chunk of skin on his left arm.
Бедный Миша только на прошлой неделе был в больнице, из-за дтп, в которое попал на велосипеде (или на мотоцикле - поясните, знатоки!)

___________________________________________

Посланник небес

Исполняющий роль сбившегося с пути ангела Кастиэля, Миша Коллинз стал неотъемлимой частью успеха "Сверхъестественного".

Охотящиеся за демонами братья Винчестеры были в серьезной опасности оставить за спиной пик своей популярности, когда Дин был вытащен ангелом из Ада в первой серии текущего сезона. Но вместо того, чтобы перейти в разряд избитых ТВ-шоу, "Сверхъестественное" обрело новую жизнь, когда это божественное создание оказалось бескрылым, серьезным Кастиэлем в плаще.

Небесная притягательность ангела - немало благодаря скромному обаянию Миши Коллинза. Карьера 34-летнего актера из Массачусетса довольно разнообразна, включая не только роли третьего плана гибкого клиента в Nip/Tuck и злодея в 24, но также и работника в Белом Доме во время презинетства Билла Клинтона ("но не ТАКОГО типа работника"), плотника и публикующегося поэта!

По мере того, как великая битва между ангелами и демонами набирает обороты, Миша рассказывает, как его роль стала ключевой в шоу.

Тебе трудно было влиться в такой сплоченный коллектив съемочной группы?

Я как-то постепенной привык. Сначала я снялся только в паре эпизодов, так что, ничего особенного. Затем еще в паре - по-прежнему ничего особенного. К тому времени, как я стал неотъемлимой частью шоу, было уже слишком поздно для Джареда (Падалеки) и Дженсена (Эклза) найти способ выжить меня! Я уже проник туда.
С ними замечательно работается, и нам весело вместе на съемочной площадке.

Парни известны своими розыгрышами. До тебя они уже добрались?

Нет, пока нет. Сначала я думал, что просто им не нравлюсь, но теперь мне кажется, они просто обленились. Они обещают мне, что все еще впереди. Может, мне стоит что-нибудь сделать первым? Я очень рад, что вы затронули эту тему - я как-нибудь устрою диверсию против них!

Ты когда-либо используешь на съемках в качестве аргумента свою карьеру в Белом Доме?

О да, постоянно. Когда Джаред и Дженсен дразнят меня, я напоминаю им. Я присылаю им маленькие бумажки, стащенные из Белого Дома, в качестве отнюдь не мягкого намека.
Нет, мне было 18. Это было в 90е, и я работал всего лишь 6 месяцев на администрацию Клинтона. Это было до всей этой истории с Моникой Левински. Если бы я не стал актером, думаю, я пошел бы в политику. Но я рад, что не сделал этого. В итоге все отлично.

Как ты отреагировал, когда узнал, что будешь играть ангела, исполняющего указы Бога?

Я думал, это будет всего пара эпизодов. Мне было интересно создавать этого персонажа, читать Книгу Откровений и Библию, и зубрить все про ангелов, потому что до этого я мало знал о них. Это довольно ошеломительно, не правда ли? Ты ангел. Ты общаешься с Богом. Но по описанию роли Кастиэля, с самого начала он не был милым, ограниченным ангелом, играющим на арфе и живущим на облаке. У него есть гораздо более сложная, темная, грязная сторона - и ее гораздо веселее играть.

Фаны были обеспокоены введением ангелов в шоу?

Сначала были сомневающиеся. Они считали, что это делает шоу банальным или более сложным. Но это помогло продвинуть сюжет вперед. Это дало Сэму (Джаред) и Дину (Дженсен) совершенно новый театр действия (честно, не знаю как это нормально по-русски родить). Им предстоит теперь иметь дело не только с силами Ада, но и с Раем. Мой персонаж продолжил существовать, потому что он внес в сюжет гораздо больше, чем кто-либо мог ожидать. Людям в целом понравился мой персонаж и, следовательно, новая ветвь сюжета, которую принесли ангелы.

Мы когда-нибудь увидим Кастиэля в чем-либо, кроме его плаща?

Я вам гарантирую, что вы когда-нибудь увидите Кастиэля без его плаща. (*Переводчик ушла неприлично хихикать под стол*)

Как мы его узнаем?

*Смеется* Никак не узнаем. Это будет полнейший шок для всех. (*Переводчик хихикает еще громче*)

Ты носишь плащи в повседневной жизни?

Нет. Никогда. Они мне надоели!

Ты можешь рассказать нам о внутренней борьбе Кастиэля?

Он в сложном положении, потому что он воин Бога. Самое главное для воинов Бога - подчиняться приказам, но иногда получаемые Кастиэлем приказы не соответствуют его видению того, что Рай должен делать, или как поступил бы Бог. Он чувствует, что что-то не так. Не буду вам сильно спойлерить, но он не осознает, что часть приказов поступает из нехорошего источника, пока не становится немного поздно.

Ты удивлен, насколько центральной стала твоя роль?

Да. Я стал постоянным актером для 5го сезона. Здорово узнать, что я хорошо исполняю свою роль; и также здорово исполнять эту роль!

Чего ожидать фанам от финала сезона?

Я думаю, его хорошо описывает слово "апокалиптический". Грядет несколько важных смертей.

Мишина панель
Буквально несколько минут назад началась Мишина панель на Асилуме!

Но до нее был еще кофе-лонг с Мишей, куда попали выигравшие лоттерею счастливчики.

Вот первые цитаты с Твиттера, с кофе-лонга и с самой панели:
I don't know if this is new but he told us that he was a fake medical student in bombay
Не знаю, новость ли это, но он рассказал нам, как изображал студента-медика в бомбее
Yeah he said he forged a form and said he was a medical student so he could help people
Да, сказал, что сделал поддельную форму и говорил всем, что он студент-медик, чтобы он мог помогать людям
Misha just confirmed that it's him on Twitter!
миша только подтвердил, что это он на Твиттере!
Misha picking people for questions based on how desperate they look
Миша выбирает людей, задающих вопросы в зависимости от того, насколько отчаявшимися они выглядят

Дальше у людей, видимо, начинаются истерики, потому что пишут они крайне невнятно:
Misha 'castiel wants to have gay sex with dean? HE'S AN ANGEL'
Миша "Кастиэль хочет заняться с Дином сексом? ОН ЖЕ АНГЕЛ"
just asked us if we want Castiel to have sex with Dean! ...told us to get our minds out the gutter XD
только что спросил нас, хотим ли мы, чтобы Кастиэль занялся с Дином сексом!... сказал, чтоб мы перестали быть такими озабоченными

Продолжаем:
wants the Beverly Hills Cop theme to be Castiel's theme
хочет, чтобы сновной музыкальной темой для Кастиэля была тема к "Полицейский из Беверли Хиллс"

Миша показал нам кое-что, что он умеет делать языком, хаха (ПРОСТИТЕ, НО СИЛ МОИХ НЕТ!)
actor to work with? Feature with homer simpson lol.
с каким актером он бы хотел работать? С Гомером Симпсоном, лол.

if you were god for day? Drain oceans, make lots of desert. No, end suffering, build glass castle on moon for mum
если бы ты стал богом на один день? высушил все океаны и сделал много пустынь. нет, прекратил страдания и построил стеклянный замо на Луне для мамы (аыыыыыыыыыыыыыыыыыыыыыыыы)
Misha advocates igloos for their eco-friendliness
Миша пропагандирует иглу (домики из снега, в смысле), потому что они хороши для экологии
Okay, so apparently misha has read actual castiel porn and knows about slash. FML
окей, видимо, Миша читал порно про Кастиэля и знает про слэш
Telling us to stop writing, go watch gay porn.
Советует нам перестать писать и пойти посмотреть гей-порно
question was aparently abt fanfic and if he's read any. He knows all abt it but torn between intrigue and "eww"
видимо, вопрос был про фики, читал ли он? Он знает все про фики, но его реакция колеблется между заинтригованностью и "фуу"

ему понравилось снимать эпизод "rapture", ему бы еще хотелоь сыграть Джимми. думает, что Джимми еще жив, в каком-то плане

Ну и напоследок:

Пишет  миссис Норрис:

Замечательная девушка Трейси всегда во время конвентов собирает материалы про Мишу с твиттеров, различных отчетов в жж в один пост - вешает все ссылки и избранные цитаты, так что это очень удобно Англочитающие могут проверить ее пост про Asylum тут: tracy-loo-who.livejournal.com/88501.html

Цитаты:

We also spoke to Misha who reconized me from the Cherry Hill convention in March. He said "Hi again. I recognize you but I don't know from where...LA? Cherry Hill?" I told him we met at the Cherry Hill convention and he said he remembered my face but not my name and asked for my name again (he asked for my name at the photo op I had with him in Cherry Hill). He also spoke to me and Jess about Jess' glasses that he had noticed earlier. We dicussed the brand and that the woman who has made the brand is married to a Swedish female artist, This led us to talking about gay rights and gay marriage and I told Misha that I think everyone should be in their right to marry the one they love. And he added "And to marry the one who's going to make you rich". lol We spoke to him for a couple more minutes then we had to move along. Misha apologized to the girls behind us and said he was sorry but he'd been caught up in the conversation with us. lol ©kelbub

перевод (сорри, кривой)

Мы также разговаривали и с Мишей, который узнал меня с конвенции в Черри Хилл в марте. Он сказал: привет, я тебя помню, но не помню, откуда - Лос Анджелес, Черри Хилл? Я ответила, что мы встречались на конвенте в Черри Хилл и он сказал, что помнит меня в лицо, но не помнит имени, так что спросил, как меня зовут, снова (как и на фотоупсах в ЧХ). Он еще поговорил с нами с Джесс о ее очках, которые он заметил раньше. Мы обсудили их марку и то, что женщина, которая владеет этой фирмой, состоит в браке со шведской художницей, и из этого дискуссия перетекла в обсуждение гей-браков и я сказала Мише, что я думаю, все должны иметь право сочетаться браком с теми, кого они любят. А он добавил: и с теми, кто сделает вас богатыми Мы поговорили еще пару минут и должны были двигаться дальше. Миша извинился перед девушками позади нас и сказал, что он просит прощения, но он заговорился с нами.

Девушка, которая сделала мишек Кастиэля, Дина и Сэма, сказала, что Мише ужасно понравилось и он даже разрешил ей сфотографировать их (в обход правил )

Misha Colins loved Castiel Bear and was all grabby hands when he saw him! We weren't supposed to take pics but he was all "look the other way" to his aid so I could take one. OMG SO INLOVE WITH THIS MAN! XD he kept grinning at me and I kept grining back and omg LOVE. I can take him home, ys? XD XD XD



Также ходят слухи, что брат Миши со своей подругой тоже присутствовали на конвенте:

Misha's brother is a)really hot and b) enjoys dancing with his girlfriend at the asylum disco

Misha's brother... was ordering drinks next to me last night. I spent the whole time eyeballing him, going, "Is that Misha's brother?!"
