However, he's best known for his role as fallen angel [[Characters/SupernaturalCastiel Castiel]] on Creator/TheCW's hit show ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''.

7	Reports that he's trying to take over the world have been wildly exaggerated -- he's already achieved world domination and you just haven't noticed yet.

9	He married his [[HighSchoolSweethearts high-school sweetheart]], writer and journalist Victoria Vantoch, in 2001; they had two children before divorcing in 2021.

41	!!Tropes that apply to this actor's career include:
42
43	* AwesomeDearBoy: Pretty much his life philosophy. It's also a handy justification for, say, [[http://twitpic.com/c9rl17 wearing a suit made entirely of cheese]] or wanting to drop a bus into an active volcano just to see what happens.
44	--> "One of the things that I like to do in life is attacking things that seem impossible, and then accomplishing them, and sort of shattering the boundaries of what we think is possible."
45	* BreakoutCharacter: As the angel Castiel in ''Supernatural.''
46	* CreatorBacklash:
47	** He greatly regrets appearing in ''Film/{{Karla}}'', in which he portrayed real-life serial rapist/killer Paul Bernardo. He [[http://youtu.be/rXbEqdWF-yo?t=2m27s initially believed that the script was fiction]], and didn't discover it was a {{Dramatization}} BasedOnATrueStory until the movie's press tour. Since then, he has condemned the film in multiple press and convention interviews and continually asks his fans to not watch it. He also stated that the film's director made extremely creepy and inappropriate comments on-set, with their relationship [[HostilityOnTheSet deteriorating]] to the point Collins filed a restraining order against him.
48	** His UsefulNotes/McDonalds commercial. Just look at his reaction to hearing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_81b-0VWwVs it might be on tumblr]]. As one commenter on the linked video puts it, "That's the first time I've ever seen someone have an allergic reaction to their career."
49	* DirectedByCastMember: [[https://twitter.com/taraslarsen/status/426484510662729728/photo/1 The seventeenth episode of season 9.]]
50	* {{Fanservice}}: His role in ''Series/NipTuck'' involved him [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQZC7sNwbUk stretching and bending all around.]] Cause he's extremely flexible, you know.[[note]]It doesn't help that this entire scene has him talking about spending all day sucking his "Torontosaurus prick". Seriously, NotSafeForWork.[[/note]] It turns out he's that flexible because of a spinal defect. Apparently his doctor warned him that he could [[BlessedWithSuck become paralyzed if he overdoes it]].
51	* JackOfAllTrades: Aside from acting, he's also interned at the White House, built his own house, founded a charitable organization, leads the greatest international scavenger hunt the world has ever seen, and learned Tibetan throat singing, among other things. {{Lampshaded}} during a convention panel, where he and Creator/JensenAckles got into a "resume off" (someone had old copies of their resumes and they compared).
52	* PlayingAgainstType: The humorless, uptight, conservative, virginal Cas is basically the opposite of Misha himself in every way. He has confirmed that the wildly altered future version of Castiel seen in the fifth-season episode "The End" is disturbingly similar to his real-life personality, noting that he [[SarcasmMode enjoyed preparing for the orgy scenes.]] He probably only auditioned for Castiel because the part was advertised as a demon in the casting sides, rather than an angel.
