Richard Speight Jr. is returning to theSupernaturalfamily for his directorial debut on the show.
Furthermore, it sounds like he got a pretty great episode.
RICHARD SPEIGHT JR:It is perfect for me.
If they had asked me to pick, I wouldve picked this one.
It is right up my alley its got a lot of fun, genre-bending quirky elements to it.
Its got a fair amount of humor.
It has a lot of heart and sincere moments.
Its a great balance of both.
I never know what we mean when we say something is format-bending on this show.
The shows about Sam reconnecting with his once imaginary friend and takes us back to his youth.
Jensen [Ackles] saidhe almost felt like he was on a sketch comedy show at times during filming.
In a weird way.
Hes really adept at doing comedy, so we used that to our advantage.
We basically had a switch-hitter on the baseball team.
We let Nate do what Nate does really, really well and he was great.
They enjoy being given the opportunity to straddle that line.
I cant let you go without asking: Where is Gabriel and how can I get him back?
[Laughs] I like your attitude.
That tells the story if you ask me.
That remains to be seen.
Youll have to wait and see, but I know hes there.
I know hes watching.
In some sick way, hes probably enjoying the mayhem.
Supernaturalairs Wednesdays at 9 p.m.
