I first saw Jensen on Dark Angel in Season 1 when he played the out of control, Ben. Even then he had something special. You couldn't wait to see what he would do next. Then they brought him back as a regular in Season 2, as Alec. He was rough around the edges, but totally lovable. After that I sort of lost track of Jensen until SPN began. He was the whole reason I started watching the new show, but I was intrigued by the story and these 2 brothers. By the time Dean was fighting for his life in "Faith", I was totally hooked. Jensen has made Dean Winchester one of the most interesting characters on TV. A lovable jerk, with a fierce family loyalty, and heroism running through his veins, who will do anything to save the innocent from the evil things in the darkness. Constantly self-tortured, Dean never feels he's good enough or worth saving, but his pride and joy is equally his brother, Sam, and his beloved Impala.
Of course, once I became enamored with SPN, I went back and watched Jensen on DOOL, Smallville, and a few other early roles. His talent is undeniable, but then you toss in his perfectly gorgeous good looks, devilish charm, wicked sense of humor, and gentle, caring way, and you've got a guy who seems to be just about the most perfect male on the planet. Plus he sings and plays guitar! An amazing husband and father, a great friend, a brother, a son. He's a gifted director and whether behind the camera or on a stage he commands attention and easily steps up into a leadership role. On top of all that, when he's speaking or listening to you it's as if he's looking right into your very soul. And his smile lights up a room! How can you not love him???
I could fill a book with all the praise over Jensen, but I'll digress to the pretty of the man himself. *g*
Below the cut is a big collection of my photos of Jensen from all the VanCons since 2009 and SeaCon from 2015. I feel so fortunate to have seen Jensen in person so many times. Like me, my camera loves him and it's always focusing on his physical beauty, while showing us what a beautiful person he is inside.
Happy 39th Birthday, Jensen! ♥ :)
