Jensen Ackles has amassed quite an assortment of characters since his days as Eric Brady in the soap opera “Days of Our Lives.” While he’s best known for his 15-year stint as Dean Winchester on “Supernatural,” he’s also had roles in “Dawson’s Creek,” “Smallville,” “The Boys,” and has voiced Bruce Wayne/Batman in multiple animated films.
Along with this varied career, the actor is also known as the father of 12-year-old Justice Jay (also known as JJ) and the fraternal twins Zeppelin Bram and Arrow Rhodes, both aged 8. He dotes on his three kids with his wife, Danneel Ackles, and occasionally posts photos of the five of them.
One thing Ackles hasn’t been able to share with his kids is his work as an actor. But with his new show, “Countdown,” starting soon, he thinks it may finally be something he and JJ can watch together.

While talking recently about the new crime drama series, he also expressed excitement that he could finally share his work with JJ. âShe hasn’t really gotten to see her dad in action,” he told People. “And in this one, I’ll be in action.â
