Misha Collins, the star from Supernatural has admitted in the early stages of the show’s series finale that he has expected the portrayal of Castiel to be the one-time appearance role.
Collins told TVLine, “I’d never done a show like Supernatural. I really hadn’t watched the show, so I didn’t even know what the tone was, and I didn’t know what really was happening. I just sort of saw it as another guest spot that wasn’t a big deal, and I was kind of not putting a lot of stock in it, I guess.”
He went on to explain that he recognized that he was there for a special experience after arriving on the Vancouver set of Supernatural.
Misha Collins’ Debut In Season 4
The actor said, “One thing that just took me back a little bit about coming up to set for the first time was how warm and welcoming the production and crew was. Supernatural did this thing, which is they had a welcome binder for guest stars, and it was a three-ring binder with menus and restaurants and a map of Stanley Park and suggestions of things to do and see while you’re in town, and it was just this strangely welcoming thing that they did.”
He continued, “And then [late producer] Kim Manners had me come to set and just meet him while he was shooting another scene that I wasn’t a part of. It felt welcoming in a way that I had not experienced on TV before.”
Misha Collins had made his debut as Castiel as part of Lazarus Rising that served as the Supernatural’s Season 4 premiere.
Supernatural features Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, and Alexander Calvert. All 15 seasons are currently available on Netflix.
