Today’s casting news is about fan favorites Misha Collins and Jason Momoa. As a side note, I found an upcoming gig for Jill Wagner. Come by and check it out! Like they always say, I’ll start with the good news, and go from there.
Misha Collins promoted as Supernatural Cast Regular as Castiel
Since the fourth season (2008) of Supernatural, Misha Collins as been on the scene and fans loved his dour approach to his character, the angel Castiel.
Through it all, he’s been funny, serious, apocalyptic and confused. (Actually, I think in that order too!) He’s also ranged from full-time cast member, to part-time guest character when times and money were tough for the production of the show.
And fans of the man had to take what they could get in his sporadic appearances and other times that he’s graced the TV screen with his dour (or not) facade.
His true, imbalanced sense of humor is unique to him when he’s not on the tube. IF you follow him on Twitter, you know what I mean.
And in between stints of Supernatural, (since ’08), if you were sharp, you may have caught him in his guest appearances on Nip/Tuck or Ringer. Or his recurring role on Divine: The Series. (He produced more than appeared in)
Or when he mainlined the Syfy TV movie, Stonehenace Apocalypse, which became an instant classic because of his presence! (Or not.)
News on the street… well, on TV Guide, is that he’s been pulled back into the series as a regular cast-member and will also be directing an episode in the ninth season of the show, which recently received an early renewal.
Misha’s way of announcing it on his Twitter account went like this:
“we appreciate your enthusiasm for the return of castiel #spn but please stop sending feathers as some people, including myself are allergic.”
-
“I don’t think the feathers to the offices campaign was what saved the angel, but it does look like i’m going to be a regular for season 9.”
I’m thinking fans of Collins will be pretty happy to see him on a full-time basis once again!
Also, you have to respect Misha Collins’ charity, RANDOM ACTS. <- Check out my piece I put together on that back in 2010.
