He's such a trip.

Q: You have played various roles. Paul Bernardo in "Karla" , Manny Skerritt in "Nip/Tuck" , Dave in "Finding Home" , Alexis Drazen in"24", Vlad in CSI:LV, Morton in CSI:NY, Doctor Jacob in "Stonehenge Apocalypse" and, of course, Castiel. We wonder how you choose roles, what you are guided by. Which of your characters is the closest to you?

Definitely Dr. Jacob Glazer is closest to me, because he singly handedly saved the entire world. But Castiel is pretty close to me too, because both of us can travel through time and teleport and read people's minds.

Q: If you hadn't got into acting, what would you do for a living? What else do you like to do except acting? Any hobbies?

If I hadn't gone into acting, I would be a horse trainer or a tunnel digger or a swan.

Italics mine.

some of the differences between the website's English translation and Google's is amusing.

Google: "I do not care" Website: "I don't give a f***"

Google says "bard" instead of the website's "swan"

Could they, you know, understand what he was saying during the interviews? Or was it translated after the fact. Because just leaving those responses at that is a wasted opportunity.

Questions were collected on a forum, it seems. And it's explicitly stated that Misha actually writes in Russian a response to the fans at the end, so I'm assuming the rest of his answers were in English, and possibly not asked/responded to in real-time. *shrugs*

But, oh yes, the follow-up potential!

I love the look on his face in that wedding photograph. It's so consummately creeper. Yes, he will sneak into your bedroom and rape and kill you. Is there a question?

Wow, I scrolled right by that. And then I was distracted by her super!80s! bangs.

Way to skeeve, Misha. Excellent work.

I'm actually peeved that he thinks Castiel can read minds. YOU'RE WRONG!

Except...somehow he knew about Chastity's father. I'm kinda stuck on that. I don't want it to be true, but he did know how she felt about him.

crap

Wait, but it's not surface thoughts he's reading, not like the way fanon has it. He's seeing the sum of a person and their basic fears hopes and life experience and all the shit surrounding that. I'm pretty sure Chastity wasn't thinking about her dad as she was getting to ready to get to work on Cas.

I think that's the big difference for me.
