👀 Honest little side note from Mark Sheppard here on getting offered a contract during a tumultuous time in his life and the funny internal monologue he had with himself.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Mark Sheppard (Supernatural, Doom Patrol) joins us this week and opens up on his experience throughout life filling a void with things like substance abuse to professions in the spotlight like being a musician and actor. Mark gets candid about the evolution of his time on Supernatural, his fondness for the cast and crew, and the issues he had with his departure. We also talk about his experience alongside Brendan Fraser on Doom Patrol, his opinion on the “c word,” and Mark’s strengthened relationship with his father after working side by side.

Crafty is basically a snack station, available to all cast and crew to grab some light snacks between takes, though normally the main actors don't frequent it (this varies from production to production I'm sure, but this was one if the few times I've seen one of the main cast poke around crafty.

@5150crazyfun 8 ай бұрын

I always felt like Crowley being written off was one of the biggest mistakes in Supernatural. And the way they did it made absolutely no sense at all. No matter how dark the stories of the season got, you could count on Crowley to bring in some funny lines. Mark did a fantastic job of not only bringing that character to life but also taking a villain and making him likeable. That’s something that isn’t easy to do. My biggest gripe in shows are when they take a well loved character and kill them off for no reason in a way that doesn’t advance the story. There were so many ways to send Mark off as Crowley in a much better and more meaningful way.
