Following the news that Charisma Carpenter and James Marsters will both guest star in an upcoming episode of Supernatural, Jared Padalecki has spoken about working with ex-Whedonverse actors – specifically Jewel Staite, who plays his childhood sweetheart in an early season 7 episode. Jared says of working with ex-Buffy, Angel and Firefly stars, of which there have been many:
It’s always nice to have somebody from the genre because they get the acting style, it’s a pretty specific acting style in my opinion when you’re doing a genre like this. It can’t be overdramatic. It has to be kind of subtle, it has to be real.
He also talks about working with Jewel Staite, who of course played Kaylee on Joss Whedon’s Firefly, and he has nothing but good things to say:
She’s a tremendous actress and a sweetheart. I met her a few years ago at a sci-fi convention funnily enough and I kind of see her here and there and it was nice to get to work with her.
We can’t wait to see them all come to Supernatural, where past guest stars of the Whedon pedigree include Amy Acker, Amber Benson, Julie Benz and Mercedes McNab!
