jensen ackles is a truly talented human being. i love watching him play michael particularly because i love finding the little differences that tie the performance together.
for example, i was wondering why it was that dean and michael look so different. dean always has hard lines to his face
here he has super furrowed brows and high cheeks with squinty eyes.
same thing here—arched brows forehead lines cheekbones— all help him express emotion as well as help us tell it’s him
but when he’s michael there are less lines in his face
smooth features, lips lay flatter to flatten his cheekbones, and eyes wide open and a little emotionless
and again here. despite jensen’s naturally hard line between his eyebrows there aren’t many lines on his face now when he’s michael.
it’s astounds me that this man is so talented. all he has to do is smooth his features and relax his face and he already portrays that ‘oh no that’s not dean’ like he hadn’t even said a word and all of the sudden you can tell it’s not the dean we know and love. jensen ackles is truly an amazing actor and he deserves all of our praise
