>>Interviewer: Is it a challenge to play God now?
>>Misha Collins: It is a bit challenging, yeah.
>>Interviewer: Big shoes to fill.
>>Misha Collins: They are. Yeah, I was just telling somebody, but it's, you know, usually
you get a script and you try to figure out, All right, what are the personality qualities
that this character has? What are the physical mannerisms that I'm going to [inaudible 00:00:25]?
And then when you get something that's God, it's like, "***, how do I do that?" I mean
it's pretty tough. So, I don't know. It's interesting.
>>Interviewer: You've got a season to play with it.
>>Misha Collins: Yeah.
>>Unidentified Speaker: : Go ahead.
>>Interviewer: Have the writers clued you in on some of the aspects of the character
as the Almighty Cas that you will be performed?
>>Misha Collins: They, in general I think, don't give us a whole lot of direction as
actors. I think they sort of write the scripts and they give them to us, and they sort of
let us make of it what we will. So, no, I didn't get a whole lot of direction as to
how to approach God, or play him. But I think that there's a lot that you can obviously
glean from the scripts themselves.
>>Unidentified Speaker: : As a fan, could I just take a quick photo?
>>Interviewer: When the season ended last year, did you have any ideas of where you
thought the cast was going to go? I know you've already started filming, right? Or at least
have seen a script. Has it gone in the direction you thought it would?
>>Misha Collins: When the season ended last year?
>>Interviewer: Yeah, last year.
>>Misha Collins: No. No, no, no. As per usual, absolutely not. No, very different direction
than I thought it would go. Yeah, one thing that I'm perennially impressed with on Supernatural,
is when you think you know what's going to happen, something else tends to happen. Except
for you can pretty much expect Sam and Dean being in the next episode. But yeah, no, it's
not, I mean, it's very difficult to talk about these things without ruining things. Yeah,
I think it kind of kicks off right away, in the direction that you think it's going to
go, and then there's some pretty radical turnarounds. There you go, that's a pretty big spoiler,
if I do say so myself.
>>Unidentified Speaker: : OK. Thank you. All right.
>>Interviewer: How many trench coats have you been through, and would you like to wear
something else?
>>Misha Collins: I would love to wear something else. My trench coat and suit are actually
quite ill-fitting. Everything is way too big and not tailored to me at all. When I went
in for the first wardrobe fitting, I was like, "Oh, yeah, yeah, that's fine, whatever. The
first couple of episodes, who cares?" It's been four years, and I really wish I'd had
a different suit. But it's becoming quite threadbare. Literally. On Friday we were shooting
and I looked down and I noticed that the seam had pulled apart at the ankle on my pants.
>>Interviewer: You don't have more than one?
>>Misha Collins: I do, but I've evidently worn out a few of the pairs of pants. So,
yeah.
>>Interviewer: Well, during the previous season, it was a lot of searching for God.
>>Misha Collins: Yeah.
>>Interviewer: Castiel is now God. Does that entail that he is no longer going to continue
to search?
>>Misha Collins: Yeah, I think so. I think that Castiel is sort of satisfied that God
has left the building, or the former God has left the building. And now he's taking it
upon himself to fill those shoes, and I think he even has a bit of bitterness toward the
former God for having abandoned us. So he's definitely not on the prowl for the Heavenly
Father anymore.
>>Interviewer: So, in a sense, the son is now taking over for the father?
>>Misha Collins: Yes. Yeah.
>>Unidentified Speaker: You're being pet. You're being patted.
