What's going on, Young Hollywood? Nicole here at Comic Con about to hang out with the dudes of Supernatural. Let's do it. Here at Young Hollywood, we love nerds, so we want to know what are you nerding out to right now?

Guest

Ooh. Um, well, I haven't watched the Game of Thrones uh premiere yet, though I will. Um, I'm always a Star Wars nerd. I was I was a born and raised Star Wars fan. I've read Star Wars books and yeah, so

Guest

Um, well, I just nerded out big time uh about an hour or so ago when I met the band Kansas backstage because they they they played the opening of our panel which I I don't know how you get much bigger than that. That's for me that was uh yeah, I was I was dancing like crazy in the back of the uh auditorium. So.

Young Hollywood

Can you show us?

Guest

No, that's. Only in the dark. I tried, I tried.

Young Hollywood

So, as you know, the Supernatural fans are obsessed and love to binge watch. What are you currently binge watching right now?

Guest

Um.

Young Hollywood

I stumped you.

Guest

No, I mean, I actually feel terrible about this, but I'm not ben I'm not binge watching anything right now. I'm actually out right now. I've I've I'm out of content. I well, I know uh GoT just started back up. Um, but I'm I'm anticipating the second season of Taboo right now. Look looking forward to that and also uh Peaky Blinders. It's like Ninja Turtles, as a matter of fact, because my five-year-old, I blame my five-year-old and three-year-old, though I grew up on Ninja Turtles, so I'm actually totally nerding out over it. Which is also fun because my buddy Stephen Amell, who plays Arrow, uh, was Casey Jones on the last Ninja Turtles. So I get to go like, that's that's Stephen blah blah and they know Stephen. So, um, it's I'm I'm binge watching the old school Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I binge watched Westworld, which was awesome.

Young Hollywood

Oh, I heard that's amazing. Would you say that you nerd out to that show?

Guest

Westworld is I think the best television I've ever seen. I mean.

Young Hollywood

Besides Supernatural.

Guest

Yeah, cut that part out.

Young Hollywood

What's the coolest part about being on a show for so long?

Guest

God, really getting to explore a character. I mean, you know, if you if you take all of the movies that I'm sticking Will Smith cuz I we got to meet him the other day when we were on Conan together. Um, it was amazing. But if you do would put all his movies together side by side by side by side, it wouldn't have 240 hours, you know what I mean? Right. So, we've had a chance to meet Sam Winchester and Dean Winchester over 240 plus hours. It'll be 267 hours after this season. So to really kind of get into to to give them a chance to make mistakes and to redeem themselves. Um, which they don't which people don't often do if they don't have the chance like this. And our fandom supports us so we can go out on a limb and like take a leap of faith and know that we'll be kind of forgiven.

Young Hollywood

Thank you so much for your time. Oh, are you still oh, were you going to finish your story? I'm sorry.

Guest

No, I wasn't. I was done.

Young Hollywood

Okay. Supernatural, just for the record, is the best show, not Westworld. Westworld is second best. He's amazing.
