Interview with Misha Collins (Castiel) on 'Supernatural'

Last weekend I was at the Supernatural Convention in Burbank, California with Afterbuzz TV.  My fellow Co-Hosts, Tom Connolly, Katie Campbell, and Mikaela Phillips were all in attendance and we had the opportunity to interview some great cast members from the show 'Supernatural' that we Host an Aftershow for on Afterbuzz TV.

I got to interview Misha Collins who plays the Angel, Castiel, on the show.  He's been known as a prankster, he's directed an episode of 'Supernatural' and loves singing to his children, even when they play DJ and pick the songs.  Misha also has a restaurant recommendation if you're in the Chicago area.  You can check out the interview in the video below!
Misha was so down to earth and gave me a wonderful interview.  I was definitely a little nervous but he made me feel at ease (and I thought that was my job to make him feel comfortable).  Not to mention, he made all of us laugh with his easy-going personality and sense of humor.  It was such a treat to get to chat with him and be complimented on doing my homework ;)  Hopefully I'm making Keven, Maria, and our Afterbuzz Family proud!!

Supernatural Convention!

Last weekend my Co-Hosts for our 'Supernatural' Aftershow at Afterbuzz TV and I attended the Supernatural Convention in Burbank.  On top of getting to interview some of the actors from the show, we also got to talk to the fans, took a ride in a replica of the '67 Impala Sam & Dean drive around in, and checked out a bunch of exhibits and memorabilia.

Our first order of business was to walk around the Convention and check everything out.  Before we did our celebrity interviews, some of us interviewed the fans and asked them about their experience at the convention and what some of the hi-lights on 'Supernatural' have been for them.  Tom interviewed Timothy Omundson, Mikaela interviewed Matt Cohen, Katie interviewed Tahmoh Penikett, they both interviewed Mark Shepherd and I interviewed Misha Collins.  Timothy had such a wonderful positive energy about him, I can see why he's such a successful actor.  Tahmoh was so friendly and Matt told us an awesome supernatural story, both of them giving great interviews and insight on the show.  Mark had walked into the room during Matt's interview and stood behind Tom as he was filming, and it was hilarious to see the famous Crowley, sneaking up on him.  I tried to joke with him about it later but he was stone-faced and scared the crap out of me.  Lucky for us, he was just playing and he opened up so much during his interview; he was really interesting to listen to and stayed after the interview just to chat.  Misha was hilarious and endearing, talking about singing to his kids, and said one of his favorite episodes was "Fan Fiction" even though he wasn't in it.  To top it all off, he was so complimentary about my preparing and doing homework for the interview which I greatly appreciated.
With the '67 Impala
We interviewed a few more fans, each of us getting a chance to be on camera and film as well.  When we went out to look at the Impala, the owner was actually there and offered to take us on a ride around Burbank in it.  We were all so excited and it was literally one of my Top LA Moments.  To make it even more amazing, he blasted 'Carry On My Wayward Son' which Sam & Dean play when driving around in it as well.  It was really cool because he also had most of the actors from the show sign his dashboard.  I was able to interview him too!  We're really hoping that we can get some of the actors on our Aftershow because everything went so smoothly.

All of our cast interviews are up on YouTube which you can find by searching Afterbuzz TV 'Supernatural.'  Or you can check out our Aftershows which air LIVE at 11 pm on Tuesday nights and can be found on YouTube the following day or on iTunes as well.  A special thanks to Afterbuzz and Creation Entertainment for us to be able to attend Supernatural Con and meet some fantastic people...it was an absolute blast!
