When we did the casting of the character, we thought of someone who could get right into his story. Jensen and Danneel talked about Tom Welling and we immediately thought he was the right person for the part. Tom is a wonderful actor and a wonderful person, and we are delighted to welcome him to the Winchester family and to Supernatural.
