Somerville native Misha Collins spreads his wings on CW’s ‘Supernatural’
By Amy Amatangelo

The Somerville native also built his house, started a software company, writes poetry and makes furniture.

“The trick is to do none of them particularly well,” Collins said in a telephone interview from Vancouver. “Clearly, I still do wonder what I’m going to be when I grow up. The career of film and TV actor, or at least my career, is one that has given me a lot of free time.”

When the 35-year-old actor landed the part last season, it was only supposed to run for three episodes. But both producers and fans responded to his character.

“The show sure does have an avid fan base,” he said. “For instance, I’ve got fan sites in China which I never had before, and that’s kind of nice to know that you got that out there. There’s a certain devotional enthusiasm that the fans have that I was only peripherally aware existed in the world, and now I’m thrust right into the middle of it, which so far has been quite entertaining and fun.”

Though he was born in Somerville, he spent time in Billerica and then moved with his mother to Northfield. He studied social theory at the University of Chicago and worked as a White House intern before deciding to pursue acting.

Collins clearly has a healthy sense of humor. Encouraged by the CW publicity team to start a Twitter account, he did (under mishacollins) but turned it into something unusual.

“I noticed that a lot of celebrities and people in the public eye were doing a lot of tweeting, which was really unbelievably mundane and idiotic, as if they were at the center of the world and everyone needed to know when they were going to the bathroom,” he said.

“I started playing on that as if I thought I was at the center of the world and that everything I was doing was incredibly important.”

A visit to his Twitter page, which has more than 31,000 followers, finds him giving fashion advice to Sarah Palin and working with Newt Gingrich on health-care reform.

This season, “Supernatural” has aired several entertaining stand-alone episodes, but Collins hinted that things will become more serious when the show returns with new episodes in January.

“The confrontation between (the angels) and Lucifer is definitely ramping up,” he said. “The mythology is ramping up. I think the season has been pacing itself out a little bit so as not to (spend all its energy) all at once. But I think that as we get toward the finale, it will get more intense.”

The big question looming over the show’s fifth season is whether “Supernatural” will return for a sixth season. Collins hopes so.

“But beyond that, I hear wildly different speculation from every camp and corner,” he said. “It’s certainly a possibility, but I don’t know.”
