American actor and director Jensen Ackles has been in the limelight from an early age. Modelling as young as four years old, Ackles decided to pursue an acting career when he was 18, appearing in guest roles on Cybill, Sweet Valley High and Mr. Rhodes. A year later he was offered a role in hit drama series Days Of Our Lives, portraying teenage heartthrob Eric Brady. Receiving critical acclaim and global recognition, Ackles received Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series for three consecutive years, also winning a Soap Opera Digest Award for Best Male Newcomer.
Upon leaving Days Of Our Lives in 2000, Ackles was cast in biopic mini-series Blonde, later making a guest appearance in James Cameron’s series Dark Angels, playing the brother of protagonist Jessica Alba. Ackles received high praise for his contribution to independent comedy Ten Inch Hero, before making a move to the stage to appear as Lt. Daniel Kaffee in A Few Good Men at Texas’ Casa Manaña Theatre.
In 2005, Ackles landed the role of monster hunter Dean Winchester in WB horror-drama series Supernatural, which is now the longest-running North American sci-fi series in history, after completing it’s 14th season in 2019.
