Charmed is an American series about modern good witches. In the early 2000s, he was deservedly at the peak of popularity: fans and fans of all ages at some time ran to the TV, so as not to miss the next magical series. Misha Collins, the actor who is now known as the star of the mystical and no less popular TV series Supernatural, also appeared in Charmed.
Who is Misha Collins?
This is a famous American actor, delighted with his presence, many popular series and lit up not only in "Charmed". Misha Collins is not a real name, but a stage name. Parents called him Dmitry Tippens Krashnik. He was born in 1974 in Boston. His pedigree is a burning mixture of a wide variety of nationalities. Maybe that's why he has such an original and attractive appearance.
In his youth, Misha dreamed of becoming a famous politician and was even caught in the White House. Then he decided to change his life and went on a trip to Nepal and Tibet. He lived there for some time in a monastery. This left a huge imprint on his life and worldview. He still considers himself a religious person, although no one in his family has ever been interested in this.
Same episode
In the series “Charmed,” Misha Collins appeared shortly after his launch on the screens, namely in series 7 of season 2. In total, the project has as many as 8 seasons, which stretched over many years. The episode is called "Knowledge is Power" and tells about the events that unfold in 1999. Interestingly, the action takes place a few weeks after the celebration of Halloween.
In “Enchanted,” Misha Collins received one of his first roles. It can be considered successful such a beginning of an acting career, because participation in this famous project instantly raises the popularity of novice actors to the skies. So it happened with Misha - in American cinema they paid attention to him. This allowed him to build an impressive filmography and create some very memorable images in many series.
Plot
In the story, the main characters use charms to test their lovers for "lice." In the context of the series - on belonging to the forces of evil. But since the sisters do not sit a day without a high-profile case, this occupation has to be interrupted. They are faced with the character of Misha Collins, who urgently needs to protect dad from demonic misfortunes. In addition, ancient unusually valuable Akashic writings are at stake.
To accomplish these tasks, the heroes join forces and win. It is noteworthy that Misha played here not a demon, like many actors who became terribly popular later on, but a simple kind guy. The reason for this is his religiosity or the decision of the author of the series - a mystery. He is not recognized at all here, he looks very young and naive, and the acting is not up to par. In the photo - Misha Collins in "Charmed", this is a frame from the same series. The actor only vaguely resembles the wise and mysterious Castiel from "Supernatural."
"Supernatural"
It is possible that shooting in "Charmed" so much influenced Misha Collis that in 2008 he decided to take the test for the role in another mystical series and again play on the good side. Even on the screen. For a memorable image and high-quality game, fans even contributed to the fact that he received the status of "Favorite actor of a sci-fi / fantasy series".
Perhaps it is precisely due to the high moral qualities and craving for religion that his role in the popular mystical series "Supernatural" is determined. There, a talented actor appears before the audience as a bright angel Castiel, who protects the Winchesters brothers. The latter fulfill a difficult mission - free the world from otherworldly creatures and thereby maintain the peace of the civilian population.
Interesting
Strange as it may seem, far from every fan of the actor knows whether Misha Collins starred in Charmed. Not surprising, because the matter is old, and the role is purely episodic. It is even difficult to consider a full-fledged and noteworthy work, because he played in only one series. However, he is far from the only novice star invited to this project. Among the fickle actors there are such well-known personalities now in American cinema as Amy Adams, John Cho, Dean Norris, Arnold Woslu, Ron Perlman, Zachary Quinto, Anne Cusack, Billy Zane and many others.
The strange connection between the two series in which Misha noted throughout the entire period of his filmography is interesting. Indeed, in “Charmed” one more actor from the “Supernatural” - Mark Sheppard once appeared. Viewers of the second project, he is familiar as a cruel and dodgy demon Crowley. In addition, he, like Castiel, is one of the main characters. So mysteriously intertwined two mystical series about the fight against dark forces, filmed at completely different times.
