Misha Collins, the undisputed king

...of grossly overacting! Holy mother of the lord it was hard enough to watch him as Lucifer, with the exaggerated facial expressions, duck lips and what not, but this just takes the cake. I read in the trivia that, that Misha Collins likes to experiment with different versions of Castiel, and I can sympathize with that, even admire it, but could somebody, the directors perhaps, rein him in?? For Castiels torture happy bizarro version, Misha went with a kind of deranged German-Russian hybrid, who for some unknown reason completely lost control of his lips, and it's just so painful to watch, it reminded me of that viral audition tape with Brian Atene.

I love Castiel, I think Misha does a great job at playing the brooding, kinda sad and sometimes inadvertently hilarious angel, and he was great as a Russian psychopath in "24" (2001), but he just can't pull of these scenery-chewing characters, and he needs to stop trying, or rather, someone needs to stop him!

Otherwise great episode, only came to put this great actor down, a man way more successful than I'll ever be, because that's how petty I am. Maybe I shouldn't post this..
