Full Version: Jensen's Questions Thread
Welcome to Jensen's board ladyjade 
For DVDs, you might want to check Jensen Ackles Store on MediaBlvd.
Worth the cash? I haven't seen most of his work, but I would definitely say Dark Angel. He was on only one episode in season 1, but season 2... Oh, season 2. I don't think you'll be able to forget Alec.
Dark Angel season 2, no question

Bringing this over from the Introduction thread:
What was his first major role, his launch into the spotlight? I'd say 'Days of Our Lives', where he played Eric Brady.
Wow i just lost almost all of my respect for him.
Wow i just lost almost all of my respect for him. Because he was on a soap opera? I think you're looking at it all wrong. But this is really isn't the place to discuss it, so please take any furthr discussion on the matter to the Jensen's Questions Thread (I wonder why we don't have a thread for Eric...)
Dont be so strict, tell me how am i looking at it the wrong way?
Soap operas are utter garbage, but i sopose everybody has to start somewere.
Jessica Alba started on Flipper or something did she not?
First, what you consider to be 'utter garbage' is your opinion. There are a lot of people who like soap operas (as there are a lot who likes telenovelas). The number of soap operas out there, and the fact that a lot of them are running for years if not decades, is just one proof. No network would have aired them if they didn't have an audience. Hell, there was a telenovela in Brazil that, as far as I can remember, had 85% rating!
Second, it's a good job. Do I want Jensen to be a part of a blockbuster? Hell Yeah! Do I want him to be out of a job for years later? Absolutely not. He was on DOOL (Days of Our Lives) for three years. He had a job. A (relatively) safe one. In the end, acting is a job. You need the paycheck.
Third, I think soap operas are actually a great acting school. They have a cast that runs for years, which can built an actor, especially a young actor, confidence. You get to learn from so many people, be that your co-stars, the directors, the writers...
And there's the time frame. Don't forget that most soap operas (if not all) air on a daily basis. It's not a series where you work on an episode for 5-8 days (or something like that). It's tough.
I read an article with Jared Padalecki the other day, where he talked about wanting more time to work on the script or the character instead of filiming and filiming, and I couldn't help but think about Jensen and DOOL. Because that's just it. I don't know how much time an actor on a soap opera has to do all that, and yet, from what I understand, Jensen was great as Eric (I don't remember watching DOOL).
I'm guessing that an actor takes something from every role that he plays. And Jensen had played Eric for three years! If that's part of what made it possible for us to see Ben, Alec and Dean...

"There are no small roles, only small actors".
Dougydarkangel you know theres allot of things I could say about Jessica Alba, but I won't I'm not going to start that debate on a Jensen forum.
Jensen did say something to that affect he said something along the lines of being on soap was great for him, because it allowed him to memorise his lines quickly out of necessity and other stuff I can't quite remember.
