JARED PADALECKI is currently starring alongside Jensen Ackles in the new WB Network series Supernatural. Television audiences already know him from several seasons’ worth of the same network’s acclaimed hit show Gilmore Girls, opposite Alexis Bledel.
His movie credits include Jaume Collet-Serra’s House of Wax; Shawn Levy’s blockbuster Cheaper by the Dozen; Dennie Gordon’s New York Minute (opposite Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen); and John Moore’s Flight of the Phoenix.
Jared’s notable telefilms include Greg Beeman’s A Ring of Endless Light (adapted from the Madeline L’Engle book of the same name), with Mischa Barton.
While in middle school, the San Antonio native began taking drama classes and performing in school plays. During high school, he won regional, state, and national awards in drama competitions. In 2000, out of 7,000 entrants, he won the Presidential Scholar Award from the National Foundation for Advancement of the Arts.
Shortly thereafter, Jared auditioned at a local Planet Hollywood and was selected to appear on the Teen Choice Awards telecast, on which he caught the attention of a talent manager and which in turn led to him relocating to Los Angeles.
