Despite the dreary weather, excitement fills the air, because everyone knows who’s inside the car.

It’s about the story.’
Jensen called and said, ‘Hey would you be interested in doing our 300th?’
I wasn’t going to be working at this time so absolutely, sure.
What was it like returning to a character you haven’t played in more than a decade?
“To step into it again, it’s like wearing an old pair of boots.
I’m friends with these guys so it’s a joy to come in.
Today was my first day and you just kind of sit down and do it.
It’s fun and it’s easy.
I remember very well what I did then.
I remember the story and I remember playing with these guys.
Like a father would be, I’m very proud of the guys.
They are two of the best guys.
That’s unheard of.
[Laughs] But this show, there’s something special about it obviously.
It keeps people wanting to be here.”
What does it mean for John to get to see his boys and his wife again?
“I think it means the world to John certainly.

[Laughs] My thing was always, if I come back, I gotta fix that.

“That’s the easiest question.
It’s because of those two dudes.
It begins and ends with Jensen and Jared.
They show up every day, they’re not grumpy, they know their sh-t, they’re pros.
And they’re not only all that, but they’re also genuinely nice.
They’re just good guys and I love ‘em.
That’s the simple answer: It’s because of those two.
They set an example for cast and crew.”
