Okay, so I kind of have a hell of a thing here. This is a multi-part thing and I will be blogging different sections independently, and tagging them for easy sourcing later, but I highly suggest not getting carried away and reblogging this immediately on the day of posting until I do a wrap-up notice for a final part.
Included will be: Chapters of J2M’s respective notoriety, the impact on their career, their presence within the microcosm of the SPN universe (IE character popularity), and more. The cut on this one will mostly be talking about means/source, everything after this is just… book chapters.
CHAPTER 3: MISHA COLLINS’ WORK HISTORY THROUGH TIME
Tracking begins in 2000 with Misha pissing around with a role on NYPD blue and that’s it. This was the most interesting one to track because dude only did like one or two things for handfuls of years.
Noted are what weeks of time he worked what shows and/or what released then, including major publicity events on TV.
I got tired of annotating everything. It’ll annotate itself for what it is once the charts roll out for everybody later on.
I already predict what antis are gonna do with this so don’t worry, they’re going to be demolished later in the next several reblogs.
CHAPTER 5: THE ENTRY OF MISHA, THE CAREER SHIFT, ACTOR POPULARITY VS CHARACTER POPULARITY
So like I said, I know where antis are gonna go with Misha’s numbers but there’s a huge series of reality checks that need to come into this behind the cut.
There. I think that’s it. That’s the end of today’s data dump. Maybe. It’s at the rebloggable-because-it’s-basically-complete point, and has some end answers on what’s going on with our numbers, in Chapter 5.
In the end, the boys are happy and enjoy it, and that’s what counts, but damn if SPN hasn’t been kind to Jensen, and great to Misha. It’s been stable work for Jared that maintained his pre-existing status, roughly. Nobody’s broke. Everybody loves their employers. I’d say everybody’s a winner in their own way.
