Jensen Ackles stole our hearts as Dean Winchester from the remarkable series Supernatural. Without him, it’s hard to imagine Supernatural succeeded as it has. Running from 2005 until 2020 and racking up an impressive 327 episodes, Supernatural made stars of Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. Playing the gorgeous Dean was not easy for Ackles, who was the hot-headed older brother, constantly trying to prove himself as a hunter (mostly), protect the people he loves, always with his brother Sam and locate the nearest pie-serving diner. Truth to be told, one can't lie about the fact that he is droolworthy still now. Jensen will always be Dean Winchester for all of us not just for his 'oh-so-hot' face but for his acting abilities in Supernatural. Jensen Ackles Birthday: Did You Know The Actor's Brewery In Texas Has A Supernatural Connection?.
