Jensen Ackles
Jensen Ross Ackles, better known as simply Jensen Ackles, was born on March 1, 1978, in Dallas, Texas, to Donna Joan (Shaffer) and actor Alan Ackles. He has English, German, and Scottish ancestry. Jensen grew up in Richardson, Texas, together with his older brother, Joshua, and a younger sister, Mackenzie. Jensen graduated from Dartmouth Elementary School in 1990, he graduated from Apollo Junior High School in 1993, and LV Berkner High School in 1996. Jensen is a sports junkie. He loves football, lacrosse, baseball and basketball. He even played on the baseball and lacrosse teams in high school. The 6' 1" actor first started modeling when he was just 2 years old. When he turned 4, he started appearing in TV commercials for Nabisco, RadioShack and Wal-Mart. He caught the acting bug because he was mostly influenced by his father, who was an actor in Dallas. He used to watch his father study scripts, and that taught him a few things about the industry. During his later years in high school, he started taking theater classes, where he claimed he was the only "jock" in that department. When he was just a sophomore, a friend of Jensen had asked him to attend a local acting seminar. Two guys, Craig Wargo, and an agent, 'Michael Einfeld', were interested in Jensen's talent and wanted him to go to Los Angeles with them. Jensen had to say no to the offer and admitted at one point, he thought they would forget about him but, eventually, when he went to Los Angeles, he still managed to get help from them. Prior to that, Jensen actually planned to study sports medicine at Texas Tech University and become a physical therapist, before he decided to move to Los Angeles to give acting a try. In 1996, he managed to secure guest roles on several TV shows, which included Wishbone (1995), Mr. Rhodes (1996) and Sweet Valley High (1994). Jensen's big break came when he was cast in the NBC soap opera, Days of Our Lives (1965), as Eric Brady in 1997. He won a Soap Opera Digest Award for Best Male Newcomer in 1998, and was nominated three times in 1998, 1999, and 2000 for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series for his work on Days of Our Lives (1965). After spending about three years on a soap set, he left Days of Our Lives (1965) and went on to appear in the mini-series Blonde (2001), which was about the life of Marilyn Monroe, playing Eddie G. He also auditioned for the role of Clark Kent on Smallville (2001), but lost the part to Tom Welling, instead. Not giving up hope, he went for a few auditions and managed to secure a guest role on the popular James Cameron TV series, Dark Angel (2000), as serial killer Ben/X5-493, the brother of main character Max/X5-452, who was played by Jessica Alba. His character died in the episode, but Jensen eventually returned to the show as a regular in the second season as Ben's clone, Alec/X5-494 and continued on until the show's cancellation in 2002. In 2003, he joined the cast of Dawson's Creek (1998)

David Haydn-Jones
From his seemingly inauspicious beginnings in his hometown of Kyle, Saskatchewan to the glittering hustle and bustle of Los Angeles where David Haydn-Jones now resides, this versatile actor has never lost his old-fashioned values or hard-working ethics. Reared in a household which he describes as "half-British, half-American, all-Canadian", David's family cherished the arts and international travel. When they relocated to the "big city" of Calgary, David, 15 at the time, took his first paying entertainment job as a singer and dancer, bringing to the forefront all of the natural talent that he had accumulated from his diverse upbringing. David was admitted to the prestigious McGill University and began to pursue a degree in architecture while simultaneously taking electives within the arts, including literature and theater. His penchant for Sketch Comedy drew him to the local clubs where he regularly performed. All the while he was acting in plays from Shakespeare, Moliere and Gilbert and Sullivan. When David graduated with his BS.Architecture degree, an economic recession put a wrinkle in his aspirations to practice design. Instead, David and a friend formed a comedy duo, and together they ventured to Toronto. It was during performances at the world-renowned Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal that David was "discovered". What began as a 3-year experiment garnered him an invitation from Hollywood. Following his freshman appearances on such American TV shows as 'Melrose Place' and 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', David soon made LA his permanent residence, and in recent times, his working actor status has begun its crescendo to new heights. As one of Hallmark's favorite leading men, he has portrayed the romantic heartthrob in three well-received films with that network. When cast as "the other guy" in 'Bridal Wave', he had the thrilling opportunity to meet privately with the legendary producer Walter Mirisch at his Universal Studios office. In his most recent Hallmark film, 'My Christmas Dream', he played opposite one of Hallmark's favorite leading ladies, Danica McKellar. David's ability to play the "everyday man" as well as the leading man, (opposite such talented costars as Taraji P. Henson and Amy Acker to name a few) has earned him growing comparisons to golden Hollywood screen star, Cary Grant. Currently, David is being featured as Mr. Ketch on the CW's acclaimed series, 'Supernatural'. As a James Bond-like, suave monster hunter who also happens to be a sociopath, David has enjoyed delving into a role unlike anything he has ever played, but still retaining his customary charm and passionate attention to detail. He also appreciates the sincere, underlying messages of the show's culture which fosters a sense of family and charitable work within the local and international fan-base.
