Jensen Ackles Compares Countdown Action Scenes, Says Truck Surfing Is a Whole ‘Different Ballgame' (WATCH)
It's not easy being LAPD Detective Mark Meachum. In last week's July 11 episode of Prime Video's Countdown, undercover Hurricane Task Force members sneaked into a ritzy party at the Belarusian consulate, so as to hack its database and see what all Volchek's homeland knows about his decidedly dirty dealings. More from TVLine Exclusive Countdown Sneak Peek: Amber Offers Mark Comfort - But Does She Know His Secret? Save the Dates: Robin Wright and Olivia Cooke in The Girlfriend, Love Island Reunion and More Daniel Dae Kim Is One Dangerous 'Dead' Dad in Trailer for Amazon Spy Thriller Butterfly In the course of that surreptitious mission, Meachum (played by Jensen Ackles) stumbled into a heated hand-to-hand fight inside the consulate's security station, where all sorts of limbs were thrown, much furniture broken. In this Wednesday's Episode 6 of the thriller series, Meachum found himself 'surfing' atop a trailer traveling at high speed, before leaping onto the pickup truck pulling it. Which scenario most thrilled Ackles himself, who of course has had his share of action-packed fun on series such as Supernatural and The Boys? 'Oh man, I had a lot of fun with both,' Ackles shares in the TVLine video above. Though when all is said and done, straddling the fast-moving trailer was 'more exhilarating,' he says. As we noted above, 'I've done the hand-to-hand fight scene quite a bit' in other roles, Ackles reminds, and while those are fun, 'they're also tricky,' in that punches and kicks need to land in such a way that 'no one catches an elbow' for real. Also, 'Those are really sweaty days!' Ackles reports with a laugh. 'You do three takes and you get drenched.' Meanwhile, keeping one's balance while standing atop a moving trailer, and at times purposely falling, is 'a totally different kind of ballgame,' Ackles makes clear. 'All you've got to do is just hang on,' he says — until the scene demands that you get knocked to your knees and nearly slide off the side, all whilst tethered to the stunt vehicle by a thin cable. 'It's like hanging over the side of a cliff and having a buddy hang onto you,' Ackles explains, visibly dazzling even Countdown co-star Eric Dane seated next to him in the Zoom. 'It was a little nerve-wracking! But it was a lot of fun.' Want scoop on , or for any other TV show? Shoot an email to InsideLine@ and your question may be answered via Matt's Inside Line!

Jensen Ackles Still Has a Surprising Connection to ‘Supernatural' Co-Star Jared Padalecki
'Supernatural' co-stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki were close while filming the hit series, but it turns out the pair have maintained that friendship in the years that have followed the series' end — something Ackles thinks might come as a surprise to fans of the show. 'We see each other more often than you would think — honestly, at least once a month,' Ackles told People in an interview published Saturday. More from TheWrap 'Love Island USA' Loses Another Islander After Resurfaced Social Media Slurs CNN Reporter Covers Deadly Camp Mystic Flooding in Texas — 30 Years After Being a Camper There Herself | Video Netflix's Love Affair With Korea Isn't Ending With 'Squid Game' 'The Gilded Age' Star Denée Benton Talks Peggy's New Romance, Sparring With Phylicia Rashad: She's the 'Agnes of Newport' The actor added that it was 'weird' to have Padalecki and the pair's co-stars Misha Collins join him on the set of his current series, 'The Boys.' The duo will both be featured in the fifth and final season of the show. 'It was like inviting my friends over to somebody else's house for dinner,' he explained. 'I was like, 'Listen, guys, don't make me look bad. I got to stay here.' They were amazing. I can't wait to talk more about it because it was quite an experience.' Ackles and Paladecki starred on 'Supernatural' from the show's debut in 2005 until its final episode in 2020. 'I don't think we ever, ever thought that it would become what it has become,' he said of the show's enduring fanbase. 'It is a phenomenon. I wish I understood the formula. I don't know that there is a formula for that. I truly feel like it was just a lightning strike, and I'm proud — and will forever be proud — of being a part of it.'
