The show's phenomenal cast members who unleashed their supernatural talents and breathed life into multiple characters.
Throughout Supernatural's successful 15-year run, the show explored countless storylines. As one can expect from a show with such an ample and layered plot, there's bound to be a broad range of characters. From vicious demons and powerful angels to gods and other mystical creatures, the hit series covered all supernatural beings it possibly could.
Within this otherworldly universe, a number of actors made multiple appearances in different roles. And in this article, we'll be taking a look at 8 extraordinary cast members who have wielded their craft to embody more than one character in Supernatural.
8. Keegan Connor Tracy
First up, we have Keegan Connor Tracy, who has taken on not one, not two, but three distinct roles. From Karen Giles, who quickly met her demise, to the enigmatic publisher Sera Siege and the formidable Witch Mother, Tracy seamlessly transforms herself into each character, bringing a unique presence to the screen.
7. Misha Collins
As the beloved angel Castiel, Misha Collins won the hearts of fans worldwide. However, his talent doesn't stop there. Collins also portrayed Lucifer, Jimmy Novak, Leviathan, the Cosmic Entity, and even stepped into his own shoes, playing an alternate version of himself. His ability to embody multiple personalities undoubtedly adds depth and complexity to him as an actor and the series as a whole.
6. Erica Cerra
Cerra is first introduced in season 6 as Robin, a girl Sam killed when he was soulless. In season 13, we meet the actress once more in the role of a mysterious angel Duma who is eventually killed by Castiel. By taking on these contrasting roles, Cerra shows off her true range and versatility.
5. Lynda Boyd
Lynda Boyd left a lasting impression on the audience with two performances, for which she had the opportunity to embrace her darker side. First, she joined the cast as Jennifer O'Brien, a Djinn who fed on victims' fears. The second time around, she masterfully embodied Fortuna, the powerful and manipulative goddess of luck.
4. Aleks Paunovic
With his commanding presence, Paunovic brings depth to each of his roles in the series. From playing Sean's business partner to the chilling Skinwalker and Gunner Lawless, the actor's adaptability certainly shines through, leaving us in awe of these contrasting performances.
3. Genevieve Padalecki
Genevieve made a lasting impact on the series with her portrayal of the complex and enigmatic demon Ruby. From her initial introduction, Padalecki showcased her talent for playing layered characters. Additionally, she made an appearance as herself in the episode titled 'The French Mistake,' adding a unique twist.
2. Jensen Ackles
Ackles has a remarkable ability to seamlessly transition between characters. Of course, the actor's portrayal of the iconic hot-headed and protective Dean Winchester is nothing short of remarkable. But despite it being his most important role in the series, he further demonstrates his talent by taking on numerous other characters, including Lucifer, Gadreel, Leviathan, Soul Eater, Shapeshifters, and alternate and future versions of Dean, among others.
1. Jared Padalecki
As one of the main characters, Jared's portrayal of Sam Winchester captivated audiences for years. However, he took his talent to new heights by embodying Gary Frankle, the menacing Lucifer on more than one occasion, Alpha Shapeshifter, Leviathan, Gadreel, and many other characters (after all, poor Sam was possessed more times than we can count).
