This article spoilers up to The Boys season 3 episode 5 and minor spoilers for all of Supernatural.
Jensen Ackles played Dean Winchester for 15 years on Supernatural – and he’ll be doing so again, in voice-over, for CW’s The Winchesters this autumn. Of course, Ackles is a professional actor and entirely capable of playing more than one character, and like his co-star Jared Padalecki he did other things during Supernatural’s run as well. But still, that length of time inhabiting one character is bound to have an effect on an actor’s choices. In fact, it can be a real bonus in creating a new character, even one as different from Dean Winchester as his new character on Prime Video’s The Boys, Soldier Boy.
The Boys isn’t totally unrelated to Supernatural, as it was developed for television by Eric Kripke, the creator of Supernatural and showrunner for its first five seasons.
