// If Jensen would get his shit together and put in the effort in his acting and would leave Dean for good, then he can play in the big boys league. Fact is, Jensen isn't anywhere near Ant's or the nominated Sterling K Brown's or Rufus Sewell's acting level. //
The trouble is even in his beloved role of Dean , from the later seasons his acting started going down little by little , i see a lot of comments from others how he seemed to phone it in , his enthusiasm had waned or he just thought he could walk it with his fans support . This doesnt sit well for his future projects and it shows when he comes up against more seasoned and well rounded actors , and when a show he lead was cancelled . If you read between the lines of VR , it seems Jensen approached producers etc for the spin off in season 3 of TB but wasnt taken any further . When the spin off was taken up he has a co lead once more . It doesnt scream of confidence from the studios really . Im bot saying Jensen is the only one , im sure Jared could also have pushed himself a little more to get ahead but he had issues that paused that and he values that family time also . My main issue is the utter absolute belief that Jensen is a fantastic all round actor and could be an a lister and the refusal to see his limitations .
Regarding Jared - I'm critical of him as well. Jared could use the guidance of an acting coach because he tends to overact certain things and the acting gets histrionic or silly. He needs to relearn subtle and quiet expressions, if you know what I mean. BUT - Jared is amazing in creating new characters where none resembles another one he played.
Whereas Jensen just offers Dean. And not even a good Dean. Like you said, somewhere along the way on SPN he became a caricature of Dean. And Russell and Mark are just horrible Dean copies. Beau was a Dean copy too but he gets a pass bc he had really good moments. And with this one-trick-pony mentality Jensen doesn't recommend himself as a versatile and serious actor. Nor as a leading man. He likes to sell himself as one but he isn't. I know his stans think he shits Gold and is the second coming and oh how they love to brag how he made SPN the awesome set blablabla. Yeah, he played everybody's darling while he "sicced" Jared to talk with tptb when something was to discuss. He showed how not of a leading man he is with TW. And on CD - he finally was number one on the callsheet but the leader on set? - was Eric Dane.
And for VR they paired him up with Aya Cash - a strong actress and leading material - bc they didn't trust him to carry the show. For which he pushed and pushed. Same thing btw is now happening with Tracker. He wants the Russell spinoff. See a pattern there?
