Я как-то пропустила статейку про СПН на каком-то канадском сайте, и там маленькое интервью с Мишей - я его обожаю

По-моему, совсем не спойлерно, но на всякий случай, сую под кат

“Going in, I thought the show was cheesier than it is,” says Collins. “Before, you had the monster of the week, a light sci-fi romp. And they did a good job of it. But [now] there’s another aspect – the relationship between the two brothers, their inner turmoil. Meta-ideas and apocalyptic concepts of heaven and hell. And do the ends justify the means?”

Collins hints that those same themes rocked the U.S. administration in the events leading up to, and lasting through, the war in Iraq. And those themes not only play on a global level, but on a personal one as well. *конечно, кому, как ни парню, работавшему в свое время в Белом доме - и знать об этом ))))*

“I don’t know if Dean was an atheist [when my character appeared], but he was certainly agnostic. Very cynical, very doubtful that there was good in the world. My character begins to confront his views and the possibility that there are larger forces in the world. And maybe he’s fighting a more righteous fight than he previously thought.”

Collins, for his part, is fighting a considerably less globally consequential battle of his own off-screen – trying to stick around on a show that’s notorious for casting different actors as the same character. The embodiments of Lilith (Rachel Pattee and Sierra McCormick), Ruby (Katie Cassidy and Genevieve Cortese) and Azazel (Christopher B. MacCabe and Fredric Lehne) come to mind.

“I was worried that my character would take another form, but so far it looks like I’m in for another little while longer. I’ve been told that if we’re picked up for another season then I’ll be a regular,” says Collins. “It’s cool to see where different actors pick up where other ones leave off. They have a template of seeing another actor playing the role.”

All together, the bloody brawls, cute boys, supernatural powers, philosophical ideas, family dynamics and classic rock soundtrack make for TV that appeals to viewers’ intellects and adrenaline levels – no matter who’s playing whom in any given episode. (Although, the various forms of characters may reflect the temporal nature of the human body. Sigh. So much interpreting to do, so little time.)

“I think it’s dealing with larger issues in a cool way. You add in angels and demons and it’s pretty riveting material,” says Collins. “There are also storylines that run throughout the entire season and series, which gives viewers more to work with in the long haul."

He pauses. "And there’s a cool car.”
