We would like to thank Andrew White for writing the following awesome introduction
to Julie McNiven's interview!
Very
often, actors are trained to stick to the script when being interviewed. And, the script usually reads about as exciting as
a McDonald's menu because the stock answers are nice and neutral, so as to not offend. Like any other journalist/fan, I wanted
to find out where to duck, dodge, dive, and duck while soliciting Julie's answers to the questions burning in our hot little
fanhearts. It was especially so for all those fanboys smitten by the gorgeous girl next door turned angel, Anna Milton.
But, there was no need for concern or reconnaissance. Julie McNiven
isn't a jaded starlet with rehearsed lines. You ask her a question, and she'll give you an honest answer.
In fact, this whole honesty thing runs throughout her life like a vein of gold. In her personal
life, her self-honesty leads her to be an earth conscious vegan shopping for an electric
vehicle while riding a bike as much as possible.She wants to be a responsible member of the human race.
In her professional work, she cares about the quality of her performance the way Antonio Stradivari
shaped his masterful violins. She has an unabashedly honest work ethic and is zeroed in on honing and refining herself as
an actor, rather than simply waiting for her chance to direct or produce. She doesn't just want to be in front of the camera.
Work is serious business for Julie McNiven and she loves focusing on the conflicts and personality
of her characters because that's where she finds the room to shave a little here and add a bit there. And, when it's time
for action on the set, she's giving you her best and most honest work the way a Stradivarius violin
gives you a superior sound when in masterful hands.
Julie lives out loud, but peacefully so. She's honest, open, and unapologetic without any
tap dancing or strategy when it comes to herself and her characters. And, we Supernatural fans are all the better for having
her in the cast.
So, here are some of her honest answers to some of our most often posed questions.
Gabriel (Gabe)
Tigerman is very likable for many reasons. First, he's really a regular guy. He's upbeat, charming, funny and grounded. He
was recently married and everyone who meets him feels the same way - Gabe really is just like us! Second, he's a really ambitious guy. He is a writer and an
actor. He has a great new film in theaters across the country called "Skills
Like This." And did we mention he was funny?
Here are his answers to our most-wanted questions.
Chances are you've seen Todd Stashwick somewhere other than as "Dracula"
on Supernatural. He's played a bunch of roles on shows such as Angel, Buffy and Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles.
He's also appeared on Law and Order and CSI. And he was a regular on The Riches with Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver.
He attended his first Supernatural convention in Cherry Hill, New Jersey in March. He immediately won over the
crowd! Todd was very sweet to allow us fans to fire a bunch of questions at him. Here are his responses!
“A Dog’s Life Rescue” is the recipient charity for the 2009 Support Supernatural
fan campaign. Allison Lange, co-founder of “A Dog’ Life Rescue,” was very kind to take time to answer a
long list of questions we had for her. Here is her story.
Heather and Lindsay are so truly 'geeked' to share with you a very funny interview with AJ
Buckley and Travis Wester, AKA "Ed Zeddmore" and "Harry Spangler" of the infamous "GhostFacers" from Supernatural. The
humor is all thanks to them! We're just the messengers. Enjoy!

Exclusive Interview with Genevieve Cortese
Making her television debut as Kris Furillo, Genevieve is an experienced stage actress. She
has performed in regional productions of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "Crimes of the Heart" and "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." Genevieve
holds a bachelor of fine arts degree in drama and a bachelor of arts in English from the Tisch School of the
Arts, New York University.
Support Supernatural Interviews Samantha Smith
Support Supernatural is feeling very lucky! Samantha Smith, who has played
everyone's favorite mom, "Mary Winchester" on Supernatural, was so kind to allow us to ask her a few burning questions.
After meeting her at the "Salute to Supernatural" convention in Chicago
in November 2008, we felt even more endeared to her than we already were by watching her on our favorite television show.
Samantha is a new mom, who like all new mothers, is sleep-deprived
and we are so thankful for her time!
What a real pleasure it was to talk to David Mackay, Director of "Ten Inch Hero".
Not only was he willingly to do an interview with me, but HE suggested we do a phone interview as it would be more fun! Mackay
is passionate about film making and generous about his experiences. He has some great anecdotes to tell and no doubt we will
be seeing many more great films directed by Mackay. "Ten Inch Hero" will be exclusively available for
rent at your local blockbuster on Tuesday, February 17. Please enjoy the interview, leave comments, and visit
the websites below.
Thanks, Jenn Halso

Support Supernatural is so thrilled to have had the opportunity to interview Traci Dinwiddie, the spunky actress who portrays
“Pamela Barnes,” the psychic who lost her eyes at the sight of “Castiel” on Supernatural! “Pamela”
is a real and complex character – a breath of fresh air for many fans that generally do not enjoy female guest stars as much as they do their male counterparts. Many thanks go out to the awesome
fellow Supernatural fans for coming up with creative and fun questions to ask Traci and to Andrew
White for facilitating this special interview!
