Oops, that's me! I have never, never understood why people are so obsessed with Jensen's acting, er ackting, in comparison with Jared's. I seriously don't get it. Jared was much younger starting out, and it showed, but he was never bad or wooden or anything that warrented fan upset or invisibility. Part of me wonders if it's down to Jensen's classically handsome face, with his big eyes and plush lips. Jared's eyes read as much smaller and narrower by comparison, as does his mouth. He is still Pretty, etc. etc. but in a different way than Jensen. I am just wondering if it is some kind of genetic thing, lol, where Jensen gets some kind of automatic acting credit for having large eyes. I know Jensen is an awesome actor, this is not against his acting, but I am wondering about the obsession from the audience level. I am always wondering about the audience level in this fandom, lol. I also don't understand how people keep thinking that Jensen is magically creating Dean all by himself with no help from the writers, lol. I have never seen a character so loved and doted on by writers as Dean is, except Spike on Buffy (and I do think Dean and Spike are the product of man-crushes from their producers, either for the characters and/or the actors). Dean is the most Mary Sued character on tv I have ever, ever seen. I am so not kidding about this. I watch enough tv to make a teletubby's eyes bleed, and I am taken aback by Dean's treatment on SPN. So, as wonderful and blessed by awesome talent as Jensen is, he is helped out by the writers in vast and mighty ways. In other words, he's not pulling Dean out of his ass, wholesale. With Jared, he does have the problem, perhaps, of growing up his talent on SPN. Jared was always talented, but SPN put him in a hothouse, making him a hothouse flower. Jared had to mature his talent at a faster rate to deal with the kind of storytelling SPN does. And he handled it, and he's really grown into an acting force to be reckoned with. But he started out the younger one, The Young One, and he'll always have someting of that tinge, because he's the Little Brother, the Kid, and some fans chose to overlook him for that reason alone. Also, I gotta say it, as the less experienced actor, Jared needs more help from the writers, not less. Jensen may have earned Dean's privelages on the show, but Jared has never done anything to merit lesser treatment. When scenes call for more from Jared, Jared provides. And more tellingly, Jared has provided in scenes that are big Dean episodes, like IMTOD, ELAC, and WIASNB. At any rate, Jared has fantastic potential as an actor, and if Kripke doesn't tap into that on SPN, that loss will totally be on his head. |

I could not agree with the posts on this thread more! I adore Jensen, and agree he is both beautiful and talented, but he is clearly given more meat in his role of Dean, so much more to work with. We know Dean batter, and so every nuance of character is easy to see. We are never privy to anything important to Sam, and Jared is left with almost nothing to do as Sam except complain on occassion. And I don't get people who don't find Jared attractive. I understand that Jensen is more classically pretty- he was a model after all. But I find Jared hot as hell- handsome in a more rugged way, and he reminds me so much of the Old Days. From John Wayne to Bruce Willis to Sylvester Stallone to Arnold. You're right that Jensens features make Jareds come off as somehow 'less'. I had resigned myself to admitting that Jared has 'small eyes', but my daughter the Jensen Fan pulled up several pics and said "You know, he has big beutiful multi-colored eyes. They only look small compared to Jensens, because Jensen has overly large Elijah Wood type eyes." (And yeah, she's an Elijah Fan too!) Fan and show treatment of Jared/Sam often makes me sad. I think he's just wonderful on so many levels. I think he's a very talented actor, and a very hot young man. Luckily, after those TV Guide shoots, I get the feeling that maybe Hollyweird is starting to realize that too. Good for Jared! Now if we can just get Kripke to realize it, and flesh out Sam. Sigh... |
