Biography |
Jensen Ackles is
an American television actor.
After modeling off and on as a young child, he began to
concentrate on an acting career in 1996 upon his graduation
from Lloyd V. Berkner High School in Richardson, Texas. In
1997 he received a role on the NBC soap opera Days of Our
Lives as Eric Brady, for which he won a 1998 Soap Opera
Digest Award for Best Male Newcomer.
After leaving Days in 2000, Ackles went to Vancouver,
joining the cast of the James Cameron television series Dark
Angel. His first appearance on the show was in 2001 as Max's
(played by Jessica Alba) disturbed brother Ben/X5-493. After
Ben died, Ackles returned to the series in the second season
as Ben's clone, Alec/X5-494, who eventually teamed up with
Max and stayed until the show's demise in 2002.
In 2003, he made several guest appearances as C.J. on the
hit WB Network show, Dawson's Creek. In 2004, Ackles
returned to Vancouver and became a regular on the popular WB
Network series, Smallville, which revolves around the life
of the teenaged Clark Kent/Superman. His character, Jason
Teague, was an assistant coach for the high school football
team and a love interest of Clark Kent's ex-girlfriend, Lana
Lang, played by Kristin Kreuk.
Ackles returned to television in 2005 in the new WB horror
series Supernatural in the role of Dean Winchester, who
teams with his brother Sam (Jared Padalecki) to road-trip
across the country investigating the paranormal.
