Jensen Ackles Biography



This hazel-green eyed babe was born on March 1, 1978 in Dallas, Tx, and was raised in Richardson, Tx (a suburb of Dallas). From even his early toddler years, Jensen was in showbiz, doing commercials here and there; one of them being for TRISCUITS (which unfortunately never did air). He was also a Super Mario Pajama boy! He also modeled as well. He never really thought this would be a career for him, but rather something that just got himself some cash in his pocket, so-to-speak.

In high school, he was a total sports nut, playing almost every sport offered. And for whatever sport he did play, he was always good at it. In fact, if it hadn't been for local talent agents who found him at a high school acting working shop, Jensen would've majored in sports medicine in college. But luckily for us, he went into acting, and melts the screen away with his irresisible good-looks, charming personality, and incredible talent.

Before Days, Jensen did a few small roles after coming out to LA, 3 months after his graduation. Some shows he guest starred in were: Cybill, Sweet Valley High, Wishbone, and Mr. Rhodes (which lasted only for one season). Then, he learned he was the new, long lost Brady twin, Eric. Til this day, Jensen gives us everything he has, and I believe that's why he's won our hearts.

In his spare time, Jensen likes to play sports, play video games, hang out with friends, ride horses, watch TV, and spend time with girlfriend of one year, Lisa Rideg, a publicist for the Warner Brothers Company (She's also such a sweeeetie!!!!!).
