SUPERNATURAL star Jensen Ackles stepped behind the camera for the Thursday, November 7 episode, but the occasion was a bit bittersweet—it was his final time directing the series he’s worked on for 15 seasons. (“Atomic Monsters” marks his sixth occasion behind the camera.)
“I’m just grateful for the opportunities that come my way,” Ackles says in the video below. “When I first directed it wasn’t because I had negotiated it in my contract or because I demanded it…I literally went to them and I was like, ‘You’ve seen my interest. You’ve mentioned that this is something that you thought I could do…I would only do this if you had the confidence in me to do it, and you trusted me enough to do it. If you do, I will do everything I can to make it a great episode. If you don’t, I completely understand it’s a very difficult task.’ And they were like, ‘No, no, you get an episode.'”
