Transcription of Misha's answer from That Part of his and Jensen's panel because once again, I am unwell
Misha Collins: Uh… I would say that Jensen professionally, as an actor, is able to turn in a passible performance [crowd laughs] consistently. [crowd laughs again] Uh I’ll- I’ll… I will spare you all me telling you that Jensen is an excellent actor and that I think he’ll probably wind up being–”
Jensen Ackles: “It’s okay they can hear it.”
Misha: “--No, they don’t wanna hear it– that he’ll probably wind up an A-list movie star at some point.
Misha: “I have told him that in private and I- I don’t want to make that a public statement because I saw even privately how big it made his head, [crowd laughs] and I don’t think that’s good for him. Uhm, but I will- I’ll- I’ll share something that is a little bit more insider baseball about Jensen professionally which is that he took control of the set, and established a tone of professionalism, and courtesy, and kindness to one another on the set that is very rare in our business for some reason.
Typically when people are given the keys to power in Hollywood on set they turn into- uh- self-serving primadonnas, and Jensen, you consistently set a tone of being respectful, and professional, and inclusive, and made guest stars as well as crew members feel welcome and relevant and heard, and… there’s a reason the- the president of our network every year would host a dinner in Vancouver and would bring the cast of Supernatural to dinner, and then bring casts of other new shows to the dinner as well, and basically told the new casts ‘Be like these guys.’ And I was a- I was late to the party. I was the new kid on the show, when I got there that tone had already been established and- and Jensen you for sure carried the torch of that tone, so, professionally that was um… That- That- That probably for me is the thing that I would carry forward in my career the most, um, having learned from you. Uhm- [clears throat]”
Jensen: “I’m sweating. [...] Thank you”
Misha: “Um, and personally, like, literally no one I know gives a better hot oil massage.”
Jensen: “[Pointing at someone onstage clapping] He was my teacher.”
