Supernatural Star's Role Caused Lasting Pain

Misha Collins, known for his role as Castiel on "Supernatural," began his journey on the show with an audition for a demon character, making his eventual portrayal of the angel an adjustment. His debut as Castiel in the "Lazarus Rising" episode involved reshoots, as the show's creators were initially unimpressed with his performance in a pivotal scene.

Despite the rocky start, Collins became a central figure in the series, continuing his role until the final season. However, his dedication came at a personal cost. The unique voice Collins developed for Castiel led to persistent physical discomfort.

This intense vocal performance resulted in a chronic sore throat and lasting pain for the actor, an issue that has continued even after the series concluded. Collins has expressed that he might have taken greater care of his vocal cords had he known his tenure would be so lengthy.
