i just find it interesting how jensen went from child model to drama geek to days of our lives sweetheart bc it's like first he was told to just stand there and look pretty so he got to dress up and look like someone else for a little while but he wanted to be someone else too he wanted to be animated like a real boy so he got into drama and was living out multiple lives on stage and then came tv where more people could see the stories he wanted to help bring to life and eventually he got his big break on dool and got to be so animated with his face and movements and i just think soap operas are like stage productions for tv because everything is so ott so it was perfect for him like he went from department store model a literal boy mannequin to walking talking expressive characters i just find it interesting
