Supernatural Actors Will Participate In Nerd HQ’s Conversations For A Cause
Jared, Jensen, Misha and Mark Sheppard will all take part in one of the panels for Nerd HQ’s Conversations For a Cause at this year’s Comic Con.
Comic Con is one of the biggest events for fans of genre television and movies. Every year, production companies bring stars of their shows and movies to meet the fans and introduce the upcoming productions. Tickets are hard to to get and are treasured. In 2011 Zack Levi, of Chuck, and The Nerd Machine held a series of panels that would take place during Comic Con. Wikipedia reports the event was
created as an alternative to Comic-Con “to allow fans and the people that they’re fans of to interact in a more intimate, loving and, low-key setting, while still enjoying the same mecca of merchandise, video games and comic books they’ve come to know and love from Comic-Con.
The idea to create this event came from Levi’s Chuck co-star Adam Baldwin (also of Firefly fame). Levi “thought it was a shame that the entity of Firefly no longer had panel opportunities for fans and figured these intimate settings would be a great experience for approximately 200 people.” This event was also streamed live on Ustream so fans worldwide who were unable to attend could watch the event.
The Nerd Machine sold tickets to the panels and donated the proceeds to Operation Smile. Nerd HQ raised $40,000 for Operation Smile for their first event. The experiment was a success and Nerd HQ has become an annual event at Comic Con. The panel conversations were named Conversations For A Cause and continue to raise money for Operation Smile. Conversations For A Cause now has high powered stars from many popular shows. This year has more than 30 conversations including William Shatner, Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillian and, of course, Jared, Jensen, Misha and Mark from Supernatural. The full schedule can be found here at Nerd HQ. The Supernatural panel will be at 2:30 on Sunday July 12.
This year, Nerdgasm Conversations For a Cause will be streamed in conjunction with IGN. The live streams can be watched at The Nerd Machine and IGN Videos. IGN will also have additional coverage of Comic Con at its YouTube Channel.

Here is a sneak peek from Jared. Look quick before he gets into trouble and has to take it down.

Is it just me or does Jared look really thin? Maybe its just the angle of the camera he’s holding or something, or maybe it’s the lack of bushy hiatus beard, but he looks very thin though the face.
Maybe it is just the camera angle because he looks OK in that twitter pic of the 3 of them.
And this. I agree it’s “Fan Freakin Tastic”

Is it just me or does Jared look truly thin? Possibly its simply the point of the camera he’s holding or something, or perhaps it’s the absence of ragged rest whiskers, yet he looks thin however the face
