Misha Collins Interview - Supernatural Season 4

[0:00]We are huge supernatural fans.Are you really?Yeah, where have you been in the last few episodes though? Um, I've been at home in Los Angeles for a couple of episodes. They gave me a break because I started to get tired, but I'm back, I'm back on now. I'm going actually back up to Vancouver on Monday. Okay. Shoot the last three episodes of the season. Have you gotten the final script yet? No, but I've gotten a synopsis of the final script, so unless they've changed it and decided to kill everyone off, it's going to be pretty cool. Really? Yeah. Okay. Because I was. I don't know if I'm at liberty to say much more than that, but Oh, come on, nobody's going to hear. Just say it. Just say it. Tell me the whole script. I could be, all right. No, I think that I would probably get sued and then sent to jail, so I'm not going to do that. Although as much as I like you already, there's a connection. I just don't want to, yeah. Your husband's right there, I shouldn't hit on you too much. Well, I just talked to Jared a couple weeks ago and he was saying that he didn't know what that final script was going to be like yet because he, there's no, they don't know if there's going to be a season five. Right. So there's nothing, nothing is guaranteed at this point. It seems like they're definitely leaning toward a season five, but I'm not at the, you know, top of the need to know ladder, so it could well be something else. Uh, other than the, than the synopsis that I've seen. But I hope not, because I hope to be in season five. Exactly, exactly. You know, it's a selfish interest on my part. So how much fun is it to play an angel? Oh, it's, it's a ton of fun. Yeah, it's really great. You can't really study anything to do that, right? No, well, there's not a whole large canon of former angels to draw on except for, you know, I don't know, seventh heaven. I don't even know. Exactly, exactly. So, um, yeah, it's kind of fun reinventing the angel as it were. Yeah. Yeah. I'm still confused over whether he's a good guy or a bad guy, your character. Do you, do you have a, I'm confused as to whether he's a good guy or a bad guy too. I think he's confused as to whether he's a good guy or a bad guy. Yeah. Now is it true that five if they do go to five, will be the last season? Because I've heard that. I have no idea. There's, I, I know that some people want it to be the last season, and I know that a lot of people don't want it to be. Really? And those are conflicting interests and I don't want to, you know, align myself with either camp at this point, so I have no idea what it's, what it's really going to happen. Now, before you took the role, did you know supernatural? You weren't watching it, were you? I didn't really, no. I but I'm not, I'm not a very good television watcher. I hadn't watched much TV at all. But I'd seen, I'd seen it, you know, I knew it was out there, but I hadn't watched it as a, I wasn't a follower of the show. Okay. But it's pretty good. And that's not start writing. Not just because I'm on it. Exactly. It's actually pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. The writing's so good. Well, are you a fan of the genre? I am. Yeah. Yeah. So would you, if you had had time, you might have watched this. Exactly. It was just just time consuming. What else are you working on? Well, um, a movie that I helped produce is uh, a nominated for an Independent Spirit Award today, so right now I'm working on that. It's called Loot and it's a documentary and it's nominated in the truer than fiction category. Which is very exciting. Yeah. And I, I hope we will win. Yeah. What's it about? It's about two uh, World War II veterans who stole loot when they were in the war and they buried it. One in the Philippines and one, um, in Austria. And this guy over here, this is Lance. Hi. How you doing? Nice to meet you. Lance lives in Utah and he helps them, uh, find the, he helps them go back to Austria and the Philippines to find this treasure. The only problem is they don't have any maps and the guys are both blind. But other than that, other than that, it was totally, it was a cinch, right? A cinch. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Was that fun? It was four years of fun. Four years. Why did it take four years? Just it took a long time to, By the time we got it all going, you know, Because they were no maps and they were blind. Yeah. What's it feel like to be nominated for a Spirit Award? Uh, pretty good. Yeah. Yeah.
