The cast ofSupernaturalisreflecting on The CW series for its 20th anniversaryin September, and they’ve revealed which actor broke character the most often while on set. For those who kept up with all15 seasons ofSupernatural, the revelation may not come as a surprise. It does comically confirm the dynamics between the actors, though, adding to the overall charm.
Stars Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, and Misha Collins sat down withTV Insiderfor the series' big milestone, and the interviewer asked which of them most frequently broke character.Even the person conducting the interview suspected it was Collins, and Ackles confirmed, “There was a substantial commitment to breaking Misha.”
Collins confirmed as much, noting that his co-stars regularly messed with him on set. He even received advice to work around it, which is hilarious to learn in hindsight:
“You guys consistently f**ked with me. And I never developed the skill of keeping it together. Dave Riopel, who was our dolly operator, very earnestly came up to me and was like, ‘Misha, can I offer you a suggestion? When they’re doing that, just think in your head how much you hate them.’ And he said it like, ‘Obviously, you do hate them.'”

Butsome of Cas’ greatest one-liners do feel like a shift from his typical behavior, and that tends to make them even better.
