Question: So you've both worked on Kripke shows about fifteen years apart. What has changed and what has stayed the same between being on early Supernatural and then being on The Boys?
Jensen: Hmmm, Good question. I mean he has grown considerably, since obviously, since the beginning of Supernatural. He did Supernatural for five years and then he went off and he did Revolution and then he did Timeless and then - so he's had a really nice kind of growth in his career as well. I really feel like he, he - kinda culminated to him to really getting to express himself with The Boys in a way that he wasn't able to with previous projects. Largely because of [slightly laughing] Standards & Practices.
Rob: Yeah, exactly. No, but it's true, he seems to have, you know, he seems more, I dunno, comfortable? Or he just didn't do more that, what he wants to do?
Jensen: He's always been, like, almost disturbingly confident about what he's doing and how he's doing it.
Rob: Yes.
Jensen: And I mean, even from the get-go on Supernatural? I mean, he was in his early 30s I think when we started shooting. And he had such a clear understanding of the world and the characters that he was building that everybody was just like, you know, go to the [?] , because he knows everything. And so he was so definitive about the lines which we were drawing this playbook with. And not all showrunners are like that, not all writers are like that. You ask a question and they're like - Well, you know, does this make sense for this character to be friendly to this other character? And you know, the writer will be like, oh, gosh, I hadn't thought about that, let me think about that and - Kripke had an answer for [simultaneously with Rob] everything. Everything.
Rob: And everything is down to, like, what kind of watch would Splinter wear?
Jensen: The minutiae.
Rob: Let's run that by Kripke. Because he wasn't in Toronto when we were shooting that and every single decision down to the -
Jensen: Gets emailed to Kripke and he touches everything.
Rob: Everything.
Jensen: And it's not like he's - he's not a crazy control freak where he has to manage everything? It's just that he knows. And so when anybody has a question in any department, they just go, well, let's just get the answer from the person who already has the answers. And that's usually Kripke and so it's just, it's so great to work with somebody like that. Because you don't have to guess. You're not left to your own devices like, well, I guess, I mean they're not really telling me anything so I guess I'll just make up my own stuff.
Rob: And so there's a lot that hasn't changed. I mean, I remember because he directed one of the episodes I was in of Supernatural. He has a child-like energy about him and that really hasn't changed, he's still kind of -
Jensen: It's infectious. He's so excited about what he does.
Rob: Yeah, yeah.
Jensen: And it makes everybody working with him excited. So yeah, I agree, I don't think it's changed that much? I think it's just an elevated version of what we were used to. Is kind of the difference between Supernatural and The Boys. It is, it's like we're playing with the same friends on a bigger stage.
Rob: Yeah, bigger field.
