Considering how longSupernaturallasted, it’s no surprise that the actors became synonymous with their characters.
However, sinceSupernatural’s2020 ending, Padalecki and his co-star Jensen Ackles have taken on new TV parts.
Parker, James Trivette and A.D.A.
To some, Padalecki’s transition into playing Walker may not have been much of a surprise.
While there, the pair pick out fake names.
Dean calls himself Clint Eastwood, then introduces Sam as a Texas Ranger named Walker.
Though obviously not a direct prediction, this Walker cameo inSupernaturalseason 6 is a wild coincidence.
“Frontier Land” aired in 2011, andThe CW did not start developingWalkeruntil 2019.
Furthermore, it seems unlikely that theWalkerproducers had this tiny moment ofSupernaturalin their minds when casting.
Created by Eric Kripke, Supernatural is a fantasy/drama series that premiered in 2005. The series follows the adventures of Dean and Sam Winchester - two men wronged by supernatural beings as children who now spend their days investigating and hunting demons, ghosts, and monsters across the United States.
More likely, Padalecki finishedSupernaturalat the perfect time to star inWalker,creating an impressively full-circle moment.
Where Sam is in touch with his emotions, Walker is still trying to come to terms with his.
In this way,Walker is much more like Dean than Sam.
Both men are somewhat gruff and are skilled at what they do.
They have a deep-seated sense of duty, which often creates tension in their personal lives.
Fortunately, Padalecki succeeds at playing both roles, makingWalkera nice change fromSupernatural.
