TheTVObserver: Jensen Ackles "Hot TV Hunk"

TheTVObserver’s Hot List presents Jensen Ackles “The Ultimate Hot TV Hunk”. We had a lot of great guys on our list and they made the Top40 list because they are great people and hot. Jensen was the ultimate hunk for TheTVObserver's Hot TV Hunk List of 2009.

He was born Jensen Ross Ackles, March 01, 1978 and he is from Dallas, Texas, USA. His claim to fame was playing Eric Brady in TV series "Days of Our Lives" (1997-2000).

After modeling on and off since the age of 4, Ackles began to concentrate on an acting career in 1996. He appeared in several guest roles on Mr. Rhodes, Sweet Valley High, and Cybill before joining the cast of the NBC soap opera Days of our Lives as Eric Brady in 1997.

He won a 1998 Soap Opera Digest Award for Best Male Newcomer and went on to be nominated three times (in 1998, 1999, and 2000) for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series for his work on Days of our Lives.

Ackles joined the cast of the CW horror/drama series Supernatural in 2005, where he stars as Dean Winchester. Dean and his brother Sam (Jared Padalecki) drive throughout the United States hunting paranormal predators, sometimes with their father, (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). The fourth season began broadcast on September 18, 2008

Jensen's parents named him Jensen because they considered other names like Justin but found them too common. It took them three days to name him; Jensen was the last name of someone listed in the hymnal at their church.

Jensen has recently taken up golfing. He admits he isn't very good but claims he was hooked after going out to the golf course with Tom Welling of Smallville.

Jensen wears contact lenses. He is a sports junkie. He loves football, lacrosse, baseball, and basketball. He played on the baseball and lacrosse teams in high school. When he started taking theater classes, he was the only "jock" in the theater department.

Even though Jensen's favorite basketball player is Steve Nash from the Phoenix Suns, his favorite team is Dallas Mavericks who traded Steve Nash to the Phoenix Suns team. Jensen's favorite charity is Young Life. It's a Christian organization for high school teens, a youth ministry. They offer outings and ski trips, and have a camp.

Jensen's favorite songs include Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley and Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The most treasured possesion is the necklace he had made in honor of his best friend, who was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver.

Together with his Supernatural co-star Jared Padalecki were voted People Magazine's "Sexiest Ghostbusters" in 2005. Jensen likes country music. His favorite musician is Garth Brooks. He sings back-up vocals on good friend Steve Carlson's albums Spot in the Corner and Rollin' On.

On Supernatural he said: “I think just working with the show... learning what all this stuff means... like cold spots or certain electromagnetic waves or the crackling noises, the dimming lights and stuff like that that we do on a daily basis. This is stuff that is researched by the writers so now, when you're in a hotel room and it gets really cold and the lights start flickering it's like, "Alrighty! Where's my salt gun when I need it?”
