SUPERNATURAL’s Jared Padalecki on Bringing His (Not So) Real Life to Screen in “The French Mistake”

SUPERNATURAL star Jared Padalecki had an interesting acting challenge in a recent episode –  he got to play himself…kind of.

If you’re not a fan of SUPERNATURAL (and may I just ask…um, why not?!) Padalecki stars as Sam Winchester on the hit CW show, but in a recent episode titled “The French Mistake”, his character Sam was sent to an alternative universe in which he was an actor named Jared Padalecki – the star of a show called SUPERNATURAL. To make matters even more bizarre, Sam had to play Jared who in turn had to play a character named Sam Winchester.

Mind blown yet?  Well it wouldn’t be if you were watching the show (see how I did that?)

Just prior to taking the stage for the SUPERNATURAL panel at Sunday’s Paley Festival, I caught up with Jared and asked him about the personal details of his life that made their way into the episode.  As you’ll see in the video below, Padalecki had a lot of fun with the episode and seemed game to play along.
