The dossier
The boy with the demon blood
Sam Winchester is the researcher and the moral compass of the duo. He constantly struggles against his own dark destiny, deeply terrified of the demonic powers lurking inside him and the horrific things he might do to survive.
Jared Padalecki anchors the emotional weight of the series for fifteen seasons. He portrays Sam’s agonizing journey from a reluctant college student to a deeply traumatized, battle-hardened savior of the universe.
His co-dependent, intensely loving relationship with Dean is the absolute core of Supernatural. Sam proves that true strength lies not in avoiding the darkness, but in fighting your way back to the light.
