And he’s good at it.

Looking back, I’m really proud of the work that [the Supernatural] team has done for this long. To do a show is not easy. To make television is not as easy as people think. It take a lot of very talented people to give you guys the best product we can make. I’m really proud of that product.

After this long on the show, to still truly love what we do. And to be proud to hang my hat on at the end of the day. It’s one of the things I’m proud of, knowing I put in the effort…nobody phones it in here. And I’m thankful that you guys appreciate it. — Jensen Ackles at San Diego Comic Con.

The Supernatural stars showed up on the Vancouver set this week shorn of their hiatus beards which they’d kept through Supernatural’s last appearance at San Diego Comic Con.

Crew sang Happy Birthday to Jared Padalecki  when he arrived at set.

His first scene of the day: Sam Winchester in one of his fake FBI suits talked to what looked like the principal, teachers and students of Beaverdale about a recent death.

On Thursday, Supernatural filmed at a house in North Vancouver’s Lynn Valley. Notice the red SUV picture car parked out front.

And then at Eastview Park in late afternoon and through until late in the night.

Baby was there too. And lit for show.

“Jared has landed “.

Jared Padalecki came to night shoot wearing a flannel shirt. Someone from wardrobe handed him a jacket and he was good to go.

Fans sat on the grass watching from blankets and equipped with water, snacks, bug spray, binoculars and phones.
