Crush of the Week

[xakara]

It's Friday again. Another seven days behind us and another chance at eye candy. Supernatural eye candy to be specific. Yes, Kittens, we have another Crush of the Week and this Friday we're showing love to Supernatural's Dean Winchester, or rather the actor who plays him, Jensen Ackles.

Come right in if you find your trigger tripped, or move along and see us next week for another shot at your flavor of choice.

For those of you who share my taste in television (among other things), you discovered Jensen in the same show that I did, Dark Angel. It starred Jessica Alba as a genetically-enhanced super-soilder (because all the best ones are) who escaped a government facility months before an electromagnetic pulse smacked up the country and knocked us back to base communications; making it all but impossible for her and the 11 others to be tracked down. Ten years later she's searching for the others and finds Alec played by Jensen.

Dark Angel ran 2000-2002 during which Jensen played both Ben who dies in the introductory episode, and then returned as Ben's twin, Alec who remained through the end of the series. From there Jensen could be seen in everything from 12 episodes of Dawson's Creek to 22 episodes of Smallville (for which he originally auditioned to play Clark Kent). Not a single one of which I saw, but I'm told he's worth the watch.

As of late, Jensen co-stars as the irreverant, dedicated, preternatural-hunting, badass that is Dean Winchester on the WB's one hour drama, Supernatural. When we return to Character Crushes and they begin to get their own day of the week, we can go into the crush on Dean specifically. (It'll be a two-for-one day, as I bear a crush on both the Winchester boys and have the mentality that says I don't have to choose or play favorites. *grin*)

Jensen, like Shemar Moore, took the modeling, soap opera, supporting actor, route to being prominently featured in a drama. I can appreciate the modeling background. Jensen has a range that can take him from pretty to ruggedly attractive and that hits all my buttons across the board, as at least two of you can personally attest to. *grin*

I couldn't decide on just four photos so Jensen gets more. I also didn't resize them drastically (and the last one refused to resize) so he gets lovely large scale glory. Don't read too much into it. It doesn't mean I like him more than those before, just that there are more pictures of him floating around that make me happy. (And maybe I've been watching reruns of Supernatural so he's just a touch more in my affections this week than otherwise).

Enjoy.

 Cuz you know I love a man who cleans up well

Jensen is so pretty to look at. I am a little bit ashamed to say that I first found out about Jensen when he was on Days of Our Lives.

No shame in your game necessary. :)

Soap operas launch great careers and allow for us to get the end product of years of work. I don't watch them, but I respect the efforts of showing up to work 5 days a week which no other televsion actors can boast. It's hard work.
