History Creator / JensenAckles

* ''Film/{{Rust}}'' (TBA) as Wood Helm

Outside of ''Supernatural'', he's been the voice of Jason Todd/Red Hood in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood'', Gibson in the video game ''VideoGame/TronEvolution'', and Kyle Madigan in the ''VideoGame/The3rdBirthday''. He is set to play Soldier Boy in season three of ''Series/{{The Boys|2019}}''.

* TheCastShowoff: Usually averted. Ackles is a talented singer, but Dean Winchester couldn't carry a tune to save his life, as his painful attempts at Karoke several times throughout the show clearly demonstrate. However, Jensen did learn to play the piano in just a few days' time for the ''Series/DarkAngel'' episode "The Berrisford Agenda" where his character Alec posed as a piano tutor, and the producers ended up not using the hand double they'd hired because Jensen was better.

* HypotheticalCasting: Ackles was ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' producer Marc Guggenheim's personal choice to portray [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne]] if Warner Bros ever allowed them access to the character, but this never materialized on the show. (The role has since been filled by Warren Christie in ''Series/{{Batwoman}}''.) However, he ultimately did voice Bruce Wayne in ''The Long Halloween''.

** He was the showrunners' choice to play Tru's boyfriend in Season 2 of ''Series/TruCalling'', but had to bow out due to his commitment to ''Smallville''. So the character was cast with Creator/EricChristianOlsen and actually named Jensen. The suggestion to cast him had been made by Doris Egan, who wrote the episode of ''Series/DarkAngel'' where his character Ben was introduced, since like Ben the character of Jensen on ''Tru Calling'' was supposed to be able to show both sweetness and an eventual descent into psychopathy.

Outside of ''Supernatural'', he's been the voice of Jason Todd/Red Hood in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood'', Gibson in the video game ''VideoGame/TronEvolution'', and Kyle Madigan in the ''VideoGame/The3rdBirthday''. In an example of WhatCouldHaveBeen, he was in talks to play Leon Kennedy in ''Film/ResidentEvilAfterlife'' before the delays and the extensive rewrites. He is set to play Soldier Boy in season three of ''Series/{{The Boys|2019}}''.

** He was in talks to play Leon Kennedy in the fourth ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' movie, before it was rewritten and Leon didn't appear in the new version. Leon later appeared in the fifth movie played by Johann Urb.

Jensen Ross Ackles (born March 1, 1978 in Dallas, Texas) is an American actor. He's one of those actors where you can throw anything at him from an acting challenge point of view; you can shoot him, tie him up, torture him, dumb him down, make him all bloody and bruised, wring the emo from him, and generally have him flung against a hard, inanimate object nearly every episode and he'll eat it up with a spoon and knock it out of the park every time.
