In the Hollywood sky, many stars shine. Some of them became famous thanks to the scandalous reputation and indecent tricks, others achieved success using their talent and perseverance. But there are famous people who gained fame after one single work. And one of them is Jensen Ackles. The filmography of this actor includes not so many films, but this does not in the least prevent the actor from remaining at the peak of popularity. After all, he still continues to act in one of the most famous series of our time.
Ackles Jensen: weight, height and other parameters
The name of the actor is Jensen Ross Ackles.
Place of birth - USA, Dallas.
Jensen's date of birth is March 1, 1978.
The nickname on the set of the epic "Supernatural" is Jay.
Eye color - hazel green. Sometimes an actor puts on colored lenses.
Jensen Ackles is 183 cm tall.
Weight - 80 kg. According to other sources, the actor recovered to 85 kg.
Youth
Few people realize that Jensen never dreamed of becoming an actor. From childhood he was surrounded by creative people and was dedicated to the intricacies of his future profession, but the stage and camera did not seem to him the best choice. Perhaps Ackles's negative attitude towards acting appeared after his first role in advertising for teens. In this video, he presented the role of a ten-year-old angel demonstrating problem skin and methods to combat acne. And maybe there were unpleasant memories of the model period - from 2 to 4 years, when Jensen starred in a lot of advertising for children's products.
Then the parents gave the future star leave, and in his youth, Jay was an ordinary teenager. He went in for sports a lot, but did not stop attending a theater club.
It's hard to imagine, but the agents (they spotted him on one of the theatrical performances in Dallas) for two years persuaded Jensen to try to make a career in Los Angeles. But he already mentally saw himself as a physiotherapist in sports medicine and was preparing to enter college. Later, after consulting with his father, Ackles would still take the risk, reassuring herself with the thought that the college was not going anywhere from him.
Carier start
Back in 1996, most film enthusiasts did not know about the existence of such an actor as Jensen Ackles. The filmography of the future Hollywood star totaled only two or three works. In particular, he starred in episodes in the TV series Mr. Rhodes, Seventh Heaven, School in the Affectionate Valley, and Sybill. You can also mention earlier shootings in the advertising of goods for children.
The first success came to the actor along with the role of Eric Brady (the series "Days of Our Lives"), for which he received his first award - "SODA" in the nomination for best debut.
Jensen Ackles: filmography. The main roles of the actor
The series "Days of Our Lives" was the first stage of a successful career. In 2000, Ackles leaves him in order to star in a film about the most beautiful and coveted woman, the living embodiment of Hollywood chic - actress and singer Marilyn Monroe.
In 2001, the actor was lucky to star with James Cameron in the TV series "Dark Angel". Jessica Alba became his partner in this film, and Jay played two roles at once - first the maniac and psychopath Ben, and then his twin Alex. In the series "Dark Angel", Jensen played until the closure of the project in 2002.
Significant success for Ackles came after the role of CJ in the film "Dawson's Creek", and a little later, in 2004, the actor starred in several episodes of "Calm Life." However, this picture was not shown for unknown reasons. In the same year, Jensen starred in episodes in the sixteen-minute short film “The Clowning Clown”.
Then the actor gets a role in the series "Smallville Secrets".
In 2005, the movie masterpiece Soul Eater was released, and at about the same time, Jensen gets the main role of his life - the eldest of the Winchester brothers in the TV series Supernatural, which continues to be shot today.
Despite the fact that the actor is constantly engaged in a mystical epic about evil hunters, he manages to appear in other films: “Ten-inch Hero” (drama, 2007), “My Bloody Valentine” (horror, 2009), “Batman” : under the hood ”(cartoon, voice acting, 2010),“ Children's Games ”(horror, 2014).
Separately, it is worth mentioning those films of Jensen Ackles in which he participated not only as an actor, but also acted as a director (episode 3 of the 7th season and episode 4 of the 6th season of the series “Supernatural”) and producer (the film “The Clowning in the Clowner” ").
Briefly about myself
The mega-popular actor has repeatedly appeared on the camera during his career and spoke in detail about his achievements, career, disappointments and other significant events. From various interviews, Ackles fans found out that he hates washing toilets (this is the period of his life when Jay did not have his own house and had to live with friends), he loves sushi and steaks with a good portion of fried potatoes, he doesn’t really like some television shows, especially with a scandalous reputation. And the greatest achievement is considered to be moving to Los Angeles and the beginning of an independent life. It is noteworthy that the actor went to conquer Hollywood with the full support of the family and he is proud not so much of the fact of a change of residence, but that he was able to provide himself almost immediately.
Interesting facts from the life of Jensen
- Jensen gets his name in honor of the author of church hymns. It was it that seemed to the actor’s parents unusual enough to give it to his offspring.
- Jay auditioned for the main role in the series “Smallville Secrets”, but the director of this film felt that the superman costume suits Tom Welling more.
- Jensen Ackles managed to star in the same picture with his father. It was the movie "Soul Eater."
- Jay has many friends, one of them is the partner in the filming of the series “Supernatural” - “younger brother” Jared Padalecki. It is interesting that one of the episodes tells about the opposite - in it the actors have not talked with each other for a long time.
- Jensen has a lot of talents: he sings well, and fans of the Supernatural series have already seen this, he plays the guitar, dances and makes desserts.
- Almost all films with the participation of Jensen Ackles are somehow connected with mysticism or supernatural phenomena.
- The actor regularly falls into the lists of “the most beautiful”, “the sexiest”, “the most successful”, etc. In 2005, he was called nothing more than “young Brad Pitt”.
The personal life of the actor
Many fans are wondering who Jensen Ackles chose as his life partner. The filmography of the actress and model Dannyle Harris, namely Jay married to her, does not differ in abundance - she played in the series "One Life to Live", "One Tree Hill", full-length films "Light this Summer" and "Roommate". A fortunate event for Dannyil was shooting in the movie "Ten-inch Hero" - the movie was not widely known, but it struck up a romantic relationship with her future husband.
The couple got married in May 2010, and 3 years later, in May 2013, they had a daughter. Over the seven years of the relationship, Jensen and Dennil have not been seen in any scandal, and, apparently, they are absolutely happy and content with each other.
The series "Supernatural"
It is worth telling about it separately. Perhaps if it were not for this series, the general public would never have known about the existence of such an actor as Jensen Ackles. The filmography of the Hollywood star in percentage terms looks like this - 80% of the filming in the series "Supernatural" and 20% falls on all other pictures.
The creators of the series played a win-win card - mysticism and supernatural phenomena always attract the viewer. There are a lot of such films, and sometimes it’s not clear why exactly this series “hit the top ten”. Great story - yes, but not only. This is a wonderful cast, and wonderful music, and unexpected twists, and a special American flavor (despite the fact that the shooting takes place in Canada). Today they are filming season 9, and there is information that he will be the last. At one time, they also spoke about the second and fifth seasons, and after the seventh (failing in ratings) they were going to close the project with a high degree of probability. Nevertheless, the shooting continues, so the further fate of the series is in question.
What to expect viewers
The filmography of Jensen Ackles does not have many diverse works, so you can judge how the fate of this Hollywood actor will develop in the future. Supernatural fans want Jay to keep traveling around different cities and hunting dangerous monsters. Meanwhile, it’s already clear that season 9 may be the last, and Jensen will have to somehow get out of the image of the eternal hunter for evil spirits. In any case, fans will look forward to new work and hope that they fully meet their expectations.
