Selfishly, I would like to see him be the lead in a project for once.

I agree, but he has such presence that he 'takes over' onscreen and becomes the lead by default.  He can't help it, he's just that good.  I liked The Boys, but whatever he does after Supernatural he'll always be Dean to me.  Le sigh.

Oh my god ARMS and EYES and HAIR!  Yes entirely shallow.

 

He's really too gorgeous for words. He's gotten even better looker as he's gotten older.  That sometimes happens to guys who weren't that great when they were young, who were kind of average and somehow they get a glow up when they add some years to their looks. 

Jensen was gorgeous when he was a teen, gorgeous in his 20s's and he's just getting better and better. Now, somehow he manages to be rugged and beautiful at the same time.

I agree as well. He has the range and talent to play anything, anywhere. But, that said, I love what he has done to make Dean Winchester the iconic character he is - despite the writing, I may add. I'd love to see Jensen get the opportunity to do that again on a cable show or network that receives more attention and praise. I know he has it in him.

With a lead, there is more of a chance the writing is there, though. Not a guarantee but nominally the character gets treated as more of a priority. And if a vindictive idiot is writing, they can do all kinds of horrible things with non-leads. Ahem.

Since Jensen was Alec to me before he was Dean - and still kinda is, even though the huge disparity in content - I think I could easily see him as someone else. I would just hope the project would appeal to me in terms of subject matter. I like genre, what can I say? 😄

My first Jensen experience was Dawson's Creek but I was too enamored of Joshua Jackson to pay any attention to the wonder that is Jensen ☹️. I also still haven't watched Dark Angel because Jessica Alba's acting sucks ass and I don't think that I would enjoy it because of that. With that being said he will always be Dean to me the same as David Duchovny will always be Fox Mulder even though I've enjoyed him in other projects. It's his signature role so I suppose it's to be expected.

I say that because Justified was one of the best series I have ever watched.  Walker is sort of the same thing.  I can see Jensen in the Timothy Olyphant role...snarky, gritty, lots of physical action.  I want to see Jensen in something other than a superhero role...under a ton of makeup and costumes.  That genre also seems so one note.  All the stories are exactly the same.

I have mixed feelings about the superhero genre. One the one hand as you said the stories are all the same. On the other it would give him widespread recognition that he doesn't have now and would put him on the A list and open more doors to him. I can't help but think of how many opportunities he may have had if he had gone for the Hawkeye role.

Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion :), but I respectfully disagree. The superhero genre isn't necessarily all about makeup and costumes, and some of the Marvel movies, in my opinion, are films that stand on their own apart from being based on a comic book hero. Captain America: Winter Soldier is one of my favorite all-time movies, and it's not because it's a "superhero" movie, but because I find the characters and the story being told compelling and emotionally powerful. I think Jensen would rock it in a well-told superhero movie - he has the gravitas and warmth that could really pull something like that off. 

On the other hand, I'm right there with you on Justified. I'm rewatching it right now, and man. It is SO good. The good thing about getting older is that I've forgotten so much since my first watch, it's like I'm getting to watch it fresh! 😂

Jessica Alba is definitely a chore to get through, but she doesn't detract from Jensen at all. If you can get it for free and FF through Jessica Alba's parts, you won't be sorry. 🙂

As far as I can remember 

Spoiler

He wasn't written out. He was only in one S1 ep and they liked him so much they wrote him a character for S2. It only has two seasons. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It was Superman he was written out of.

He wasn't written out.  It's just that:

Spoiler

Alec's important and focus was drastically reduced.  He stopped getting the focus he got in the early season and he lost skills he should have had.  It's clear as day when you watch s2 that something changed with with regard to Alec and yes its true that Alba and Weatherly were very jealous of the focus he got.  They would count lines in front of him, and if Alec had more Weatherly would demand a rewrite, there was a scene where Alec was supposed to win a pool game and Weatherly insisted Logan win and that Logan had to save Alec in the  finale.

 

Despite all this, s2 is still worth watching because Jensen completely took over.  But if you don't want to watch the whole season definitely watch The Berrisford Agenda.

Also watch Pollo Loco from season

Also, at first the PTB didn't want to hire Jensen for the role becasue they didn't feel he was buff enough to play a super solider.  But he impressed the producer to much with his acting that she went to bat for him and told them they wouldn't regret hiring him.  Jensen impressed them so much, they gave him the role but also brought him back for s2. 

Even with all the problems.  Its still a great role for Jensen.

Ok, I'm going to add that episode too; thanks! No one can deny Jensen's talent once they see him in action. That's why I'm really hoping that he gets a gig that will expose him to a broader audience. I'll definitely be watching if he's on The Boys but I'm crossing my fingers for something bigger than that.

I'd say watch ep. 1 (Designate This) first.  You can literally see the scenes come to life when Jensen shows up.  It's like magic.  (Berrisford is the best Jensen ep, but you really need to see who Alec is before you see under the facade in this ep; that is, if you can wade through the bad acting and boring explanations of the rest of the ep.)  It's available on You Tube.

I remember way back in Season 1 of Supernatural when I was learning all about Jensen, all the older fans would talk about The Berrisford Agenda being great, so much so that I was kind of reluctant to watch it, because it's almost inevitable people hype things up so much you end up going "That's it? So?"  But I bought both seasons of Dark Angel(even though Jensen is only in episode of Season 1) and finally got to that episode and I have to say I was NOT disappointed.  It lived up to the hype as it were.  But I do think it helps to watch at least some of the earlier episodes first so that way you can understand the magnitude of what's being revealed about the character in the context of his character development.

Of course, now I think we've seen so much more from Jensen and what he's capable of, the effect might be different and perhaps not as much of a "wow"(I couldn't say for sure because of course when I watched it we didn't have 15 years of Jensen plumbing the depths of Dean Winchester to compare it to:)) but I really do think it's a very good episode and he's great in it.

He made an absolute Art of scene stealing in this series, IMO.

I watched every episode he was in and I suggest doing that in spite of the ridiculousness of the Alba/Weatherly nonsense thay went on and that became clear to me also by the end of S2.

Nothing and no one could stop Jensen from shining in this series, IMO.

I truly loved both he and his character so much by the series end-especially memorable for were his appearances in Two, Medium is the Message, Brainiac(he's not in this one much, but again he was the Scene Stealer Extraordinaire in it), even Gill Girl, which is ludicrous, at times, he still shone like the sun. Same for Borrowed Time.

And yes, the Berrisford Agenda is the cream of the crop, in some ways, but PolLo Loco is every bit as good, IMO, just in a different way.

I think you'll want to watch them all too, Deedee.😉

Which could be a bit of a problem in future endeavours.  My own personal opinion —- the majority of today’s actors cannot act. But Jensen is a standout. And it can lead to jealousy if the script starts giving him the juicy stuff because his talent is recognized. Jared never seemed to mind. It could be Dark Angel all over again.  Hope not because Jensen’s a professional.

If he was No. 1 on the call sheet this wouldn't be a problem, which is why I have to agree with Aeryn on that point and Kripke's show-a guest stint would be fine, but joining the cast long-term?-nah, not for me either.

Give him his own show or make him the star of a mini-series. 

He could easily handle it and he's more than earned his shot at those type of roles, Imo.

His problem is that sometimes that pesky team player mentality of his  trumps any type of self-interest-especially when the story draws him in, so if we don't get him as "the star", I'd at least hope for something well-written and well-produced-and again hopefully with individuals who have a reputation for such in the business. 🤞

If he's acting with pros and not immature prima donnas, he'll be fine. I cite his scenes and chemistry with Mark Sheppard,  who IMO, was the other best actor on the show.  They sizzled together.  Jensen rises to the talent around him (Jim Beaver too).  So while I want him to be the lead, I'm also okay with a great multi-episode guest or suppporting role.

It's not just the actors (see Dabb's comments on "letting the others breathe.")  I seem to remember many guest stars saying that he encourages them to bring out their best, but it's no use if the writing isn't there  (How many ways can someone say, "He's dead, Jim"?)

I just want something where he can shine and not have others try their damnedest to dim his light.

Jensen just needs to get a good role in something that is respected by the public in general, producers and directors. He's so good, the rest will come naturally. Look at Sterling K Brown. If I'm not mistaken, his role on "True Detective" opened doors for him and he is certainly enjoying his celebrity status. And nothing against the actor, but he's certainly no better than Jensen, and IMO not quite as good. So, let's hope Jensen gets that role he needs to open his doors. He certainly deserves it.

I didn't have a clue who Jensen was until I started watching Supernatural.  One friend was a Dark Angel fan and her opinion was that Weatherly taught Jensen how to act.  Nope, not at all.  Jensen has the art of listening and reacting down.  The pilot Still life you can find on YouTube, I believe he is outstanding.  But I think because of all the drama he experienced on Dark Angel, he never wants to be in that position again. 

Even though they tried to limit Jensen on Dark Angel, it cost them as the show was canceled.  I did buy season 2 DVD because it wasn't that much and I found myself liking season 2.  Season 1 wasn't as strong for me.  So I just watched a few ep on YouTube of season 1, which wasn't that good of quality. 

But when I started looking at Jensen's acting history, he had several jobs because someone had worked with him and recommended him for the show.  I still haven't watched Smallville, but I have seen a few of them on YouTube.

I just hope he will continue acting.  Too many of the ones I really liked went to directing TV shows.

Nope is right.

In fact, Weatherly admitted and has gone on record by stating that he based his character of Tony Dinozzo in NCIS on what he'd seen Jensen do with Alec.

And I think that's fairly obvious if one has ever watched both shows, so I think your friend might have it backwards there. 😉

Watch the first episode of season 2.

I’m just watching the mash up on YouTube of just Jensen (Alec) scenes.. definitely little dollops of our Dean. Jessica is exasperating!  Always the same huffy expression and she garbles her lines.

After watching both episodes I definitely agree.

Spoiler

I haven't watched a lot of young Jensen roles and he's so amazing as both Alec and Ben. While he was equally empathetic and badass as both characters the coldness that he displayed as Ben was chilling and excellent but he still made you feel empathy for how he was completely warped by his brainwashing.

Jessica Alba was actually pretty good in this ep as well though I don't think much of Michael Weatherly's character.

This I agree with also especially in The Berrisford Agenda.

I felt it most during the scene with Max when they were in the bar. Keeping people that he doesn't trust at arms length and downplaying his pain hidden are classic Dean traits that I saw in Alec in these scenes.

Even though I haven't watched his first episode I was able to piece together the character and his backstory from what I read online. This was an excellent episode mostly because of Jensen. I thought that Max grated a bit but Alec's story kept me engrossed.
