Few shows have as dedicated a fan following as Supernatural. With a 12th season on the way and the 11th currently airing in the UK, it’s showing no signs of slowing down. We spoke to Jared Padalecki, aka Sam Winchester, about what it’s been like, and what’s on the horizon…

SciFiNow: Do you ever look back on past series of the show and think that Sam and Dean can tackle the baddies much better now?

Jared Padalecki: Yeah, I think so. What’s funny is that when we first started filming the pilot I remember [Eric] Kripke going, “Hey, it’s not such a big deal. It’s not like there were monsters in the closet. Play it off. You’ve known it for your whole life.: Sam and Dean have known it for their whole life, and that’s how I finally feel now. That’s how Jared feels now, like it’s another demon and we’ve got to go take care of it. I feel now that Jared is where Sam was supposed to be, kind of the ego. It’s like I’ve been doing this for years, so now it’s old habit.

Could you see yourself directing an episode, like Jensen?

For me, it’s not that directing doesn’t interest me. It’s cool, but I really love my position as an actor and I love where I am as an actor. I love the idea of having a director and having the writers who guide the ship and I get freedom within that guidance. I love Sam Winchester. I’ve known him pretty close for over a decade now.

What do you think is at the heart of that longevity of Supernatural?

I wouldn’t say this in front of them, but we have really great writers. They think of new, great ideas. Supernatural has become greater than the sum of its parts. It’s not just a show about two brothers fighting, it’s about so much more. It’s about sacrifice and it’s about love and it’s about loss and it
