Пока только текст.24HOME ::On The Verge: Jensen Ackles
This 24-year-old Texan is no stranger to our TV screens — you saw Jensen on Days of Our Lives and Dark Angel, and now he's starring in Dawson's Creek as peer counselor CJ. Obviously he's busy, but not so busy that he didn't have time to talk to us about his life.
How did you get into acting?
My father is an actor, so he brought me into his agency when I was young. It wasn't something I wanted to do until high school, when I started taking theater and really liked it. Then an agent found me and wanted me to come out to Los Angeles and give it a shot. I gave myself six months [to find something], but it only took me like a week to get a job.
Do you feel guilty when you see other actors who have been struggling to get work for years, while you got work after a week?
Oh yeah. I've got to be careful who I tell that story to. I've told a few people and they're like, "Oh, I hate you." It's not that easy — I've seen people [who've been] here longer than I have been, [and they're] still trying to get commercials.
What was your first job?
It was an NBC sitcom called Mr. Rhodes. I played Malcolm; he was an airhead, aloof jock. The show was shot at Universal Studios, so every day I got to go to up there to work — it's like a movie-making mecca. I was blown away.
Have you ever had any auditions that you really wanted, but didn't get?
I came very close to Smallville — it was down to me and Tom [Welling]. I was excited about it, but I knew I shouldn't put all my eggs in one basket. It would have been a great gig, but I got Dark Angel about three months later.
You also starred in Days of Our Lives...
It almost didn't happen — it was about three or four months after Mr. Rhodes was canceled. I was auditioning but not getting the jobs, and I was discouraged. Meanwhile I'm getting calls from all my friends who are in college having a blast. I went for the Day of Our Lives audition, and I was so frustrated that I thought, "If I don't get this one, I'm moving back home."
Do you ever regret not going to college?
Right now, no, because I feel as though I got a very interesting "life college." I moved out to this huge city all by myself. I had to grow up quickly. I learned a lot of things about the real world that my friends are just learning. Also, I started reading the dictionary and books about college education — I was teaching myself what my friends were learning in class. And it worked out — I would come home and talk to them about stuff that they hadn't even learned yet.
How did you get the part in Dawson's Creek?
I went into the WB and read for the producers of Dawson's Creek. It was a guest spot or something and I didn't get it — they were looking for something different. But they knew me, so they just called up later and offered me the role of CJ instead.
Are you psyched to be on the show?
It's cool. Dawson's Creek is a well-oiled machine. It's nice when everybody knows their job and everybody's doing it well and there's not too many kinks in the system. I think [the cast] have had their ups and downs — we've all read the tabloids and the articles about them over the years. But everybody gets along; it's a happy set and the people are very welcoming.
What about the well-publicized tensions between Josh Jackson and James Van Der Beek?
I haven't really experienced it firsthand, but I know a little bit about the beef with them. I think that they're like, "I don't have anything to say to you and you don't have anything to say to me, and we're cool with that." I've hung out with both of them simultaneously, they've been in the same room, and they were fine. I mean, they weren't clowning around, but they're cordial and they're adult about it.
If in real life you had to choose between Jen and Audrey, who would it be?
I don't think either of them is really my type. I think they're both really pretty girls and they both have great personalities, but I don't think I could make a decision on it.
If neither of them is your type, what is?
There are just certain things that turn my head. It may be a girl's sense of humor, it may be her wit, or her belief system — it could be a lot of different things.
And once your head is turned, is it easy for you to approach a girl?
No, I'm not very good at all! It takes a girl to come up to me to strike up a conversation. I try to show them by looks that I'm definitely noticing them and there's an interest. But the whole approaching thing — I have no lines, no tactic.
What would you like to do next?
I love shooting Dawson's, but I really enjoyed doing Mr. Rhodes, too, and I haven't done comedy since. I don't watch a whole lot of television, so I don't know what show I'd choose to be on — I went a whole year, last year, without television. It was great. I didn't miss it. I was doing a lot of other productive things in my day other then plopping down on the couch and watching TV.
So what do you do in your spare time?
It's football season, so me and my buddies are strapping on the cleats, going out onto a field, and tossing the pigskin around. I've got a good group of friends, and I try to spend a lot of time with them. And I fly home to see my family quite a bit when I'm not working.
What do you do during your downtime in Wilmington [where they film Dawson's Creek]?
During the summer it was really beautiful, because you could go down to the beach and do some surfing. Now, since fall came around, everybody gets together and goes out and has fun. We'll go to an arcade and play some bumper cars.
