More Supernatural casting magic

[caranfindel]

A few years ago I started watching Psych, which is an extravaganza of SPN guest stars, since it was filmed in Vancouver. It's amusing to me that they go to great lengths to make Vancouver look like California, whereas Supernatural is just, sure, it's cold in Florida and mountainous in Kansas, why the fuck not? Anyway. Episode 1.02 featured a kid who looked so much like young Sam Winchester, it stopped me cold. This kid could out-Jared even Colin Ford. I looked him up on IMDB but apparently I was looking at the wrong actor, because it didn't have a photo of him and he had only been in one other show. I got a screencap and started to post about him, but never got around to it.



LOOK AT HIM.

And then, Tumblr informed me that the kid was actually Alexander Calvert. And it makes me unreasonably happy. Someday I'm going to write more about Psych, about the amazing Kurt Fuller, about that one episode that's so full of SPN Easter eggs that I've probably forgotten half of them, about the parade of "that guy was on Supernatural" guest stars. But right now I'm just going to bask in the glory of young Alexander Calvert looking so much like his future foster father.

LJ sent me a link thinking I might be interested in this post, and this post is *everything*! I hope you don't mind a total stranger butting in, but this just made me so happy! Psych and SpN are totally linked in my mind because of Kurt And Timothy--I'd LOVE to know about the SpN Easter egg ep, and yes, yes, yes--that kid is the *perfect* young Sam. As much as I enjoy Colin and his wonderful interpretation of young Sam, Alex looks so much like a young Sam, it's amazing.

This post has made me very, very happy!
