How do you like playing the badass angel? “Zachariah” is a really great role!
I love playing Zach. I think he’s got a great sense of humor and an incredibly imaginative way of wreaking havoc on Sam and Dean.
Some actors say that they bring a little bit of themselves to each role they play. In what way (if any) are you like Zachariah?
Zachariah is very determined and he believes in himself, but he’s also a bit awkward. Me too.
Tell us what it is like on set for you. It is all hard work and long hours, or do you get to goof around at all?
Because it is hard work and long hours goofing around is absolutely essential. I think the great attitude among the cast and crew starts at the top. Jared and Jensen are such good guys, as are the producers, that everybody feels loose and that makes the work more fun.
Do you ever find yourself laughing at the lines Jensen delivers, or are you able to keep that straight face throughout? Also if you do laugh, could you give an example of a scene that just had you laughing?
Oh my God. I can’t pick just one. Oh wait, yes I can. There was an intense scene in “Lucifer Rising” where I’m face to face with Dean telling him, as usual, “Get with the program or else!” At the same time I had broken (temporarily) Sam’s legs so he was on the floor at my feet. At home, you saw me an inch from Dean’s face glowering and threatening. What you didn’t see was Jared, off camera with a compressed air can the camera people use to blow dust off the lenses, sticking the nozzle up my pants leg and blasting me with air. True story.

Where would you personally like to see the story arc go next?
Personally I just want Zachariah to live, but I fear he is too evil to survive the season. As for story arcs I won’t presume to second guess Eric Kripke and the writing staff. They’re doing a fine job without my help.
