Misha Collins Interview – Comic Con Press Room 2009
Were you wearing a helmet?
Only if you did it on purpose.
MC: Exactly, I wanted to know what that felt like.
This afternoon (or morning for you West Coasters) I got to be part of what is truly one of my most favorite opportunities – talking to “Supernatural” consulting producer Ben Edlund. Anyone who reads my stuff knows he’s my favorite writer and perhaps I tend to push that more into worship territory. In today’s…
It took a little while, but thanks to a little blogger’s “exchange” program that me and a couple of other writers have at Comic Con, I was able to get a transcript of one of the Misha Collins press roundtables. Misha was the one person our table didn’t get to speak with. Thanks so much…
I always love interviewing Misha. He’s so pleasant, happy, fun, and we don’t really have to talk about the show with him, not that he had a lot to share about Castiel anyway. When talk breaks out about GISHWHES and fan conventions with him, that subject matter is just as entertaining. There is one spoiler…
Sera Gamble arrived, our table being the last group to talk to before going to the panel. The room was pretty noisy and crazy by now, for everyone was prepping for the press room/ballroom switch between “Supernatural” and “Smallville.” Still, she gave us her undivided attention and even complimented me on the “Ghostfacers” t-shirt I was wearing. She…
Our roundtable interview with Jensen at San Diego Comic Con was the longest one we had all day, clocking in at just under six minutes. He talked with us about his working relationship with Jared and this new Demon Dean arc plus the difficulty of switching gears to that new role while trying to direct…
Our good friend Marta Kent at Supernatural Russia recently did an interview with Todd Stashwick, who played the Dracula shapeshifter in “Monster Movie.” He’s also done some recent episodes on “Detroit 1-8-7″, ”Private Practice” and “Better With You.” Todd has become somewhat popular with Supernatural fans, attending a Salute To Supernatural convention in NJ and also…
Misha is ok but CASTIEL is BOOOOOOOORING ! I wish he didn’t signed up for 17 episodes. Ugh. I want Sam and Dean. Not Dean and a lot of Castiel and maybe Sam in the background.
Cass is AWESOME stop spreading hate.
Empathy … I too would have trouble keeping a straight face if Jared grabbed my bum … Sigh …
Bitter much? Tami.
OMG. I’m sooo excited to see episode 2 now!!!! I LOVE Castiel and I can’t wait to see lots more of him this season and see his relationship with Dean grow, as well as Castiel’s own journey. Poor Misha, I hope he’s feeling better.
OK, first ep sounds epic from the CC info and now ep 2 sounds epic too! When that Sept 10th again? Can’t wait! Misha rulezz!
Hi Alice!
Just finished read the articles about the Comic Con and all I can say is that you rule! Can’t wait for the rest of it 🙂 Season 5 is going to be great!!
Thanks Alice for all your work at the comic-con coalface. I was pretty sure I couldn’t be any more excited for the start of the new season, but you now have me salivating anew.
As many have previously commented, your site is a haven from SPN fan snarking (god love ’em) and your reporting has stayed wonderfully positive even as the comic-con ‘process’ looked exhausting AND exhilarating.
I hope as the following for this fantastic site grows (as it surely must!) all who marvel at your attention to detail, effort and commitment keep this in mind. Looking forward to the remaining transcripts!
Thanks for the interview, Alice. You managed a surprisingly coherent interview given the short amount of time you had with him and the fact it’s Misha. Following his Twitter, I’ve come to the conclusion his mind works in truly mysterious (and hysterically funny) ways sometimes. I really enjoy the character of Castiel and what he has brought to the Supernatural ‘verse. I love the developing dynamic between Castiel and Dean, the way they are both sort of ‘rubbing off’ on each other, neither seeming to realize it. Season 4 was awesome, I’m very much looking forward to Season 5. Is it September 10th yet???
Thank you so much for this!
I adore Cas and Misha is such intelligent, talented and funny – love!!!
Can’t wait for S5 and more awesome Dean-Cas dynamic, it was the best part of S4 for me.
I love Castiel soooooooo much, and Misha he`s a great guy, hope they have a lot of Dean/Cas in series 5, and that they get closer ooooohhhh, angel porn!! credit to all the guys for bringing us such a great show, and fab acting, more we see of Cas in the show the better, will have to wait a bit longer here though in the UK, but i know it will be worth the wait, LOVE YOU GUYS, and get well soon Misha xx
Thanks so much for the update! I LOVE Castiel’s character and think that Misha has done an amazing job.
Can’t wait for S5 to begin! 😀
lol!! 😀
Don’t worry Misha, I to wuld have a very hard time working if Jare grabbed my ass!!
So, glad Cas is a series regular. Love him and Misha is so great. Dean, Sam & Cas all together, kicking ass is going to be awesome!!
Is it Sept. 10th yet?!
Our roundtable with Misha went on about the same length, but covers some slightly different (and hilarious) ground– although he did talk about constantly getting pranked by Jared in the scene he did.
I’ve posted an edited vid of Misha’s Q&A– which gives a sense of how funny and casual the press went:

Aww hope Misha gets better real soon.
Wow, I wonder what agenda that is.. Cant wait for episode 2, even though Misha did say Cass makes his apperance in episode 3 :-?:
Learning to ride a bike, Cool!
Cant wait to see what Cass is upto in season 6
Oh and Suze I agree I would have trouble if Jared grabbed my bum too 😛
