Supernaturalstar Jensen Ackles talks adding 'more flavor' to Michael

Somehow,Supernaturalis still keeping Jensen Ackles on his toes.

Michael was, essentially, a blank canvas.

Ackles says he started to regroup in the second episode of season 14.

That regrouping involved a little outside help as well.

Richard Speight [Jr.] directed the second episode and he really helped me with that.

In terms of whatMichaels evolutionlooked like, Ackles talks specifically about the comedic side of the character.

I was originally trying to take the traditional angel approach.

I thought Id take that method of this omniscient being that is essentially humorless, Ackles says.

I quickly 180-ed on that after reading through a few things a few times.

And those were two archangels.

Overall, the experience of creating Michael took Ackles back to the beginning of his time as Dean.

I think about when I was first doing Dean Winchester and it was very similar, Ackles says.

So I feel like Im back in that same seat again, 13 seasons later.
