So I went to Madison Comic Con this past weekend and was sitting in on a Jewel Straite Q&A panel (Kaylee from Firefly for those who don’t know and adult Amy Pond from Supernatural).
She obviously mostly talked about her work on Firefly and Stargate but somebody did ask a question about her experience on set of Supernatural. She said that Jensen and Jared were the most sweet, kind, and welcoming people she had ever met. She also shared two stories which I summarized:
Jewel and a friend were at a bar in Vancouver recently when she walked into the place she saw Jared and Jensen sitting at the bar talking. Instead of bothering them she went and sat down at a table. Within minutes of her sitting down “the boys came bounding over to her, asking why she didn’t come talk to them. And if she saw them sitting at the bar.” They then talked for awhile and caught up on life.
The second story she shared was about one of her friends who also was a guest star on the show. She had asked Jared and Jensen if she could get a picture at the end of filming the episode. They obliged, unfortunately they wrapped an hour before her so when she was done she was like “oh well. It’s not a big deal.” She walked back to her trailer to find both of them waiting for her. “You want that picture now?” they asked.
We have all heard stories about how great Jared and Jensen are. How they treat everybody from their friends and family to the cast, crew, and even one time guest stars on the show speaks volumes about their character. Jewel was on one episode of Supernatural and worked with the boys for a week. The fact that they recognized her and sought her out at the bar is awesome.
Jared and Jensen seem like such wonderful, kind people. i am glad that they have had such an impact on my life.
