Jared Padalecki
Jared Padalecki stars in the thriller "Supernatural" as Sam Winchester, the sweet, reluctant hero who joins forces with his older brother, Dean, to battle demons.
Padalecki will next star in the remake of one of the most popular horror films of all time, "Friday the 13th," due in theaters February 13, 2009. He also stars alongside Peter O'Toole and Marcia Gay Harden as famed artist Thomas Kinkade in the biopic "The Christmas Cottage." Based on the life of one of America's most-collected living artists, the film takes a look at the inspiration behind one of Kinkade's most famous paintings.
Padalecki played host on MTV's "Room 401," from executive producers Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg. The series took viewers on a mind-blowing journey as some of the most talented, up-and-coming illusionists scare and deceive innocent bystanders.
Previously, Padalecki starred in the horror film "House of Wax," opposite Chad Michael Murray and Paris Hilton. He also had a leading role in "Cry Wolf," in which he plays a precocious boarding school student who has been drawn into an elaborate "liar's club" hoax involving a serial killer. Other feature film roles include "Flight of the Phoenix," opposite Dennis Quaid and Hugh Laurie; "New York Minute"; and "Cheaper by the Dozen."
In addition to his role as Dean on "Gilmore Girls," Padalecki starred in the telefilm "A Ring of Endless Light," based on the novel by Madeleine L'Engle.
Padalecki currently resides in Vancouver, British Columbia.
