“No one came and got him and brought him back.”
Their explosive break-up was the first scene the two actually shot together for the show.
“It was a confrontation with an ex-lover,” Ackles remarks.
“And in the filming of it, Soldier Boy actually gets pretty upset.
Apparently, Rogen didn’t want to do it, but not because of the content of the scene.
But Kripke had exhausted all other options.
I just can’t imagine why an actor wouldn’t want to do that dream role.”
Kripke contacted everyone on their list, and every single person passed.
So he had to return to Rogen.
“It’s so funny,” Kripke says of that scene.
“It’s also really sex positive.
He found a way to make it…
It’s not dirty and there’s no shame.
He’s just like excited to be there and excited that he bought anal beads.
He’s ready with the lube, like, ‘Here we go!'”
