Happy 30th Birthday, Jensen Ackles!
A CW Source favorite is reaching a milestone. Jensen Ackles, who plays the inimitable Dean Winchester on Supernatural, is turning the big 3-0 on Saturday, March 1. Happy birthday, Jensen!
We know that birthdays that end in 0 can seem a little intimidating -- and we're sure prank-loving whippersnapper Jared Padalecki will have fun rubbing in Jensen's supposedly aged status. But take heart, Jensen: The old-timers here at CW Source Central say that 30 was their favorite birthday so far, and we'll love you no matter how old you get.
In fact, we're going to count the ways we love Jensen, and we want you, the CW Source faithful, to help! We're putting together a list of the top 30 reasons Jensen rocks. We'll start it off with our reasons, and we want you to add your own. Then we'll pick the top reasons and put together a video for the site.
So check out the beginnings of our list, and then add your own reason in the comments! Plus, feel free to wish our boy a happy 30th birthday!
30 reasons Jensen rocks
1. The Acting
Sure, Jensen has plenty of surface charms to recommend him (and trust us, we'll get to those...) but what really makes him exceptional is his blazing talent. We'd watch him in anything (and yes, we've seen Devour). He can convey more with a change of expression, a dimming of the eyes, a shift in the tone of his voice, than other actors his age can get across with pages and pages of script. We have no idea why Jensen isn't a major movie star -- he's got more talent than half the guys his age on the big screen today.
2. The Funny
Again, we love that Jensen is so much more than just a pretty face -- and he's more than willing to make that face look ridiculous to make a scene laugh-out-loud funny. Just think of him stuffing his cheeks with caramels in Tall Tales, or letting a piece of meat dangle from his mouth in Hollywood Babylon. And then there's all his dryly funny line readings, fabulous double takes, and countless Deanisms that make watching Supernatural such a side-splitting experience -- even when sides are literally being split with axes and knives.
3. The Realness
We love watching Jensen at conventions or giving interviews. Why? Because he's such a nice, regular guy who seems shocked by all the attention. He's unfailingly polite, more than willing to make fun of himself, and seems like he'd be a fun guy to hang out with. If only all of our favorite stars were this down-to-earth!
4. The Chemistry
Jensen Ackles plays well with others. Sure, he does a mean soliloquy, but he really shines when he's interacting with other actors. What makes Supernatural so fabulous is the relationships -- the show wouldn't be the same without the palpable bond between Sam and Dean. The brotherly chemistry he shares with Jared Padalecki is the stuff of legend, but you see it with just about everyone he shares the screen with, from Jefferey Dean Morgan to Fredric Lehne to Samantha Ferris to random extras. Heck, we here at CW Source Central joke that the man oozes enough chemistry that even the furniture acts better when he's in the room.
5. The Hominah-Hominah-Hominah
Dear god, but this man is gorgeous. It's obvious any time you look at him. He can rock a blue mohawk, make layers look good, and single-handedly revive the career of Asia just by rockin' out to one of their songs. And every once in a while, we'll see a shot of him that emphasizes his stunning looks so much that we nearly pass out from the pretty. Yowza.
There's the start of our list -- what would you add? Give us your contribution to our top 30 list, and leave your birthday wishes for Jensen in the comments!
Comments
This is so late but I don't freaking care.
I just want to say, that the Hominah is my new saying. That's freaking awesome.
okay mine...
The eyes.
I find don't usually like a guy with green eyes, especially ones like Jensen's seeing as they match mine almost to a t. however, when I look at his eyes in pictures or on screen, I'm completely captivated. Not just because their stunning but because of the emotions that pour through them with the slightest gesture.
Jensen's my FREAKING hero :)
love him!

Happy (belated) birthday, Jensen.
It's because of your portrayal of Dean Winchester that I've been watching Supernatural since the beginning. You give Dean so much heart and soul, in spite of some of the writing. Thank you for all that you do.
Posted by: Leslie | March 4, 2009 7:33 AM
Happy 31st Birthday Jensen. You deserve nothing but the best. Thank you for YOUR gift of allowing us the pleasure of watching you act, of bringing Dean Winchester and other characters to life.

I'm a little sad that the CW Source gals didn't put up one of there awesome birthday posts this year. Oh well.
Happy belated 31st birthday Jensen. Hope your day was everything you wanted it to be. I wish you all the best in the coming year.
Thank you for breathing to life some of my most favorite characters ever.

Happy 31st birthday, Jensen!
I hope you had a great day yesterday!
Thanks for bringing such an iconic character as Dean Winchester to the screen. It's because of you and your acting ability that Dean is so popular and so loved. Thank you!

Happy birthday Jensen, and many, many hugs from Romania, because you have a lot of fans here, and thank you for all that you are doing on Supernatural and in your movies hope to see more of you, because you really, really have talent and that is something that you should share with the world (that's what a very wise person once told me).
I'm also going to wish you happy birthday in romanian so "la multi ani"

It's been a year now since the main purpose of this site has passed. I would like to congratulate, like I did last year. Only this year it's the 31st birthday. I would like to wish Jensen all the best. May he have success, fame, good movies, shows, and whatever he wishes for. My Bloody Valentine 3D's a good start. Once again, from Croatia,
HAPPY 31st BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, what are we going to do for Jensen's upcoming 31st birthday? It's less than 2 months from
now. :-)
Also, whatever happened to the video you all said above that you were going to put together?

Why Jensen Rocks?? He was seen very recently at McAllister's Deli in Garland, Tx and my nephew Russ, who works there, went up to him and shook his hand as he was leaving and Jensen did not turn away like a lot of other stuck up actors you try and talk to. Jensen, thank you for being you :) I guess it pays to grow up in Texas.

*THE ACCENT*
That Texas voice just makes my heart melt every time I hear it!
He's so *KIND* and
*GENEROUS* he's just one of those celebs who you know is always looking for a good cause to support!
He's *GORGEOUS*,I love him!But not just for his looks, for his acting.
He's such a *FANTASTIC ACTOR*!
He really doesn't get the recognition he deserves but one day he will and I want to be able to see it!!!I mean how do people like Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse etc. get recognised and he doesn't its just not fair!
*SUPERNATURAL*
It's the best show ever,and he just makes it a whole lot better (if possible!)I love the show c'mon 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and more seasons PLEASE???????????????????????
Speaking of supernatural its 05.25(am) right now,here in Ireland and I've been watching supernatural eps. googling Jensen and watching *hilarious* interviews on YouTube since 19.00(am),so i better go try and get some sleep!
I know it's really really late coz his birthday is in march and it's august but i just found this site!!
HAPPY BELATED B-DAY JENSEN HOPE YOU HAD A PERFECT DAY!!
love you,
Maria

Not to be picky or anything but...did you ever put together that video? Personally I love seeing any video highlighting Jensen Ackles talents. :)
Posted by: Em | July 21, 2008 9:38 AM
According to the original blurb posted by The CW Source above, there was supposed to be a video made of the top reasons...was the video ever posted?
I would love to see it. There are so many reasons to love Jensen, and I think the top 5 listed are absolutely true. I love how he is so polite and nice to fans and his co-workers and the crew.
Posted by: Ana | July 21, 2008 8:13 AM
happy birthday! late i know! but still! it doesn't matter how old jensen ackles is. he's still super hot and he has amazing modesty!
have a great super belated birthday!
Posted by: natalie | July 10, 2008 6:08 PM
This is soooo belated, but a "HAPPY BDAY TO YOU!" is better late than never. One of the top 30 rockin' things about Jensen has to be his integrity. What you see is what you get. When you hear the man talk and you watch him in action on screen and off in the everyday, it's abundantly clear that you're with an authentic man who isn't trying to be anybody else but Jensen. Jensen, have a great year and may God continue to bless you and bring to fruition the desires of your heart.

Hey Jenson,
Just thaught I would say happy late B-Day. I think what I like most about Jenson would have to be his personality and his love for ranches and horses. I'm from Texas myself and I love a house on a farm where I can have a nights sleep without the worries of cars driving by all night long. It's just so peaceful. Well I guess I will talk to ya'll later.
Posted by: Charlotte | June 5, 2008 4:17 PM
Yelooooooo :) Happy birthday... still... lol. Many many more happy dirty-thiry days to you, blow a candle, make a wish and pray that it don't come true :D

Jensen,我真得很喜欢你,喜欢你的眼睛,你的腼腆,甚至是你撅着嘴的样子。你仿佛能演出人物的灵魂。
Posted by: 王语嫣 | May 4, 2008 11:59 AM
The main thing I have to say is that this boy is B-E-A-U-TIFUL!!! I think that he is the best-looking-funniest-best-acting-man on the big screen...I'm still sad about his deal in Supernatural...his soul for Sammy's revivedness...although he would be even hotter as a demon...even more badass than he aleady is...I likey!!!..HAPPY WAYY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!
Posted by: Toni Cushing | April 24, 2008 10:53 PM
Happy birthday,Jensen.

Posted by: simprog | April 20, 2008 2:37 AM
Happy Belated Birthday and hope you have many more.
Jensen rocks because he is a down to earth guy who makes you feel like you are his long time friend even though you just met. Plus he is an awesome actor, genuine, and very easy on the eyes. He makes Dean come to life every time I watch Supernatural and that is just amazing. I wish TIH would make a DVD so that the fans can buy it and watch Jensen in a mohawk and kilt. lol
Posted by: Caryn | March 29, 2008 4:32 PM

Love,
Becky

The pleasantness
The main reason why I like Jensen Ackles is that he seems to be a very nice person, with great humour and modesty. Anyone can see that he is a talented actor but I wonder if he realizes what a likeable and well-mannered man he also seems to be. Whether in interviews, TV programs or conventions’ videos, he always appears composed, open-minded and charming. I appreciate the fact that he is sarcastic without being nasty, funny in a very casual way and down-to-earth even though he is engaged in a job that is prone to put people on a pedestal. The people who work with him all seem to appreciate him, the fans who encountered him are all delighted and you just have to watch the gag reels of Supernatural to see that he must really be a pleasant person. It is very agreeable and refreshing to see people like him.
So, Mr Ackles, thank you for making Dean so appealing.
I hope that you had a great birthday and I wish you the very best of luck in whatever you do.
Posted by: Hélène | March 12, 2008 12:38 PM
Yo no hablo ingles, pero con ayuda de los traductores leo mucho sobre este maravillo actor, que no logro entender como no esta en el cine, por que tiene más talento y te hace sentir más que muchas de las estrellitas de Hoollywood que hay por nuestras pantallas ahora mismo, en cuanto a las entrevistas personales que le he leido, decir que me maravilla que alguien que disfruta de tanta fama pueda ser tan modesto y buena gente como él parece. Le deseo un FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS, (que treinta es la mejor etapa de la vida de los jovenes), junto a los suyos. Happy bhirthday JENSEN ACKLES. Bombón!!!

Dear Jensen ackles..
There's something about you that makes you so special and wonderfull to watch. And it's nothing to do with appereance. I hope you keep on the supernatural show, be in any kind of movies, so I can always watching you because Iam sure I'll never get bored...

Happy birthday Jensen! (5 days late, but hey...at least it's not a month, right? LOL!) Enjoy the hell out of yourself, and remember this-age does not matter unless you're cheese. Or really good wine. :D
Best wishes from Nebraska!
I saw Devour, too...it wasn't THAT bad! And I agree with the person below me...the emotion practically oozes out of the screen-it's totally awesome. :)
Posted by: Elizabeth | March 6, 2008 12:53 AM
The emotion.
The emotions he pulls out from not only himself but from me too on a weekly basis.
Because you can see that it's there, from the laughter and joking around to the true sadness and tears to being very good at being pissed off.
I feel what he feels and it's real to me. Not many can do that and Jensen does it constantly, and yes I have seen Devour.
Hope you had a wicked birthday Jensen, was there karaoke, I hope there was karaoke!?!
Lots of love from Sweden!

The Attention to Detail
The furniture really does act better when Jensen Ackles is around because he interacts with it. Really good with props, even back in his "Dark Angel" days, he makes interesting actor's choices, from adjusting the rearview mirror on the Impala to tying his shoe. He uses whatever environment he is dropped into to avoid becoming a "talking head." Usually overlooked because of his outstanding acting abilities, this "stage business" really adds a lot to a scene. Happy Belated Birthday! I am looking forward to many more years of fine entertainment!
Posted by: Salvation, Ia | March 4, 2008 8:00 AM
It looks like The CW gave Jensen a great birthday gift: Season 4 of Supernatural!!!

The Style
Not only does Jensen Ackles have the "I could go skinny dipping in your eyes effect" with his gorgeous looks, he also has style when it comes to fashion. Jensen is just one of those guys in no matter what he wears that will always look "Drop Dead Gorgeous"! From his form fitting bootcut jeans, to his gray fleece long-sleeve shirts, to the good old fashion wife-beater t’s, Jensen can pull it off without a hitch. His style is so laid back and relaxed that it gives him that boy next door effect (one really cute boy next door that is). As Mr. Ackles stated in the Official Jensen Ackles Newsletter: "Your Biggest Fashion Mistake is When You Try to Hard." So we give ackalades to you Jensen on your keen sense of Fashion.
Posted by: Vanessa Cortes | March 3, 2008 8:07 PM
I really want to say how amazing you are, Jensen. I am sorry that this "Happy Birthday!" is belated. I was on vacation, no computer access! AHHH. But know I was thinking about you and I hope that you, Jared, and your family had a wonderful, fun-filled day. You definitely deserve it. Oh, and I could never pick my favorite thing about you that I love. There are way too many!
God Bless!

Having never met the man but having taken in what his co-stars have all said about him more than enough endorsement of what a stand up guy he is... But what touched me the most was his love for his nephew... An Australian interview he told them he felt like the little guy was his... I've always had a soft spot for a man that loves kids...
Happy Birthday Jensen!!! I wish you were going to Eyecon! Think about it Dude… Florida in April… Enchanted castles and talking rodents… If nothing else you could dry out and goof around with Jared! LOL

The Style
Not only does Jensen Ackles have the "I could go skinning dipping in your eyes effect" with his gorgeous looks, he also has style when it comes to fashion. Jensen is just one of those guys in no matter what he wears will always look "Drop Dead Gorgeous". From his form fitting bootcut jeans, to his gray fleece long-sleeve shirts, to the good old fashion wife-beater t’s, Jensen can pull it off without a hitch. His style is so laid back and relaxed that it gives him that boy next door effect (one really cute boy next door that is).As Mr. Ackles stated in the Official Jensen Ackles Newsletter: "Your Biggest Fashion Mistake is When You Try to Hard."

Happy Belated Birthday Jensen! I hope your day was full of peace, love and happiness. I know turning 30 may have an impact on the future years, but your only as old as you feel!!! I myself will be hitting the big 30 soon, but feel like I'm 21! So enjoy life as it comes. YOU ROCK!!!!!! Love always,
A big fan,

Happy B-Day Big Boy!
I love how he is the older brother. He absolutely rox as Dean FREAKIN Winchester!!!!!
Jensen is such an amazing actor. I love how there is Jensen and there is Dean too. He makes Dean so real. I almost believe that there is a Dean Winchester :-)
Keep it up the good work oldman! :-)
Posted by: Be_a_fan:-) | March 3, 2008 8:46 AM
Counting the ways:
I love the way he turns Dean Winchester into a living, breathing character that I find myself caring about. He makes us want to know what's going to happen next. He has developed Dean into a multi-faceted hero who is brave, kind, gentle, fierce, loyal, dedicated, dangerous, funny, lusty, respectful, scared, angry, focused, smart, and loving, and irreverant. He makes Dean into a guy who can find concentrated joy in a cheeseburger, passion in a pretty woman, humor in most things, and tenderness for the memories of his mother.
A few memorable things Ackles makes us watch with either a laugh or a heartwrench: 1. Brain freeze from too much ice-cream. 2. Hyperventilating about the car. 3. Burrowing his face into his mother's hand. 4. Telling Layla he'll pray for her. 5. His reaction when Sam tells him he prays every day. 6. His "I will kill you all" threat to the Benders. 7. His, "Please, Dad" line to John/YED in Season One. 8. The way he spills his guts against his will to Andy while sitting in the car. 9. The look of utter amazement and "You little s--t!" expression on his face when Missy Bender pins him to the wall with her knife (big strong Dean didn't properly evaluate his opponent, there!) 10. "Oh, God, please let that be a rifle." 11. He was afraid of Ellen, like any smart young man would be when dealing with a young lady's mother. 12. His reactions to Missouri -- big strong hero has to obey and submit to being bossed around, criticized, and whacked upside the head without any backtalk. 13. The "uh-oh, I'm in trouble" look on his face when Lisa turns on him after Ben whups up on Humphrey. 14. The unbeatable look of triumph on his face as he fires the Colt at YED. 15. And probably the best: that heartwrenching cry, "What am I supposed to do!" line delivered so superbly. Only a robot could fail to react to that.
He's a modern-day knight in shining armor whose armor isn't all that shiny because he's too busy to keep every spot polished up. Of course, like any knight, he keeps his steed well fed and brushed.
I also very much like the fact that neither he nor Jared Padalecki seem to be troublemakers or run afoul of the law. They both speak well of their families and their backgrounds. I think it's interesting and very nice that they both come from families where the parents are still together.

The Fearlessness
Jensen is willing to try his hand at anything. And once he finds his groove he'll put all his energy and gut into what he's doing, to a point of pure fearlessness. He takes on positions and puts pure pride into everything he does (when other actors might consider such roles a blow to the pride). He never seemes to shy away from the bizzare or oddity that's asked of him, nothing seems to spook him away from what he wants to do. Everything from the bowl hair cut and kakhis in a thirty second appearance in Wishbone to the grown out, dyed and horrifyingly spiked mohawk and kilt in Ten Inch Hero! Of course we'll always love him best in his military cut and torn up jeans!
Happy Birthday Jensen, hope you got to go hom to Texas for home cooking and get to ride your horses for a few days!
Much Love
Mary T.

The Modesty - despite how talented, hardworking and gorgeous this man is, he NEVER seems full of himself. Always shy and modest and even slightly self-deprecating in his humour. It's so refreshing to see someone of young Hollywood nowadays who just looks to work hard and hasn't let anything get to his head!
Happy Birthday Jensen and best wishes!!!

The Style
I know I'm not the only fan to notice that Jensen has mad style. He is capable of pulling anything off and looking stunning doing so. From the fit-just-right suits to casual wear, this man rocks it all so well and with a smile that will make you melt.
Posted by: Meghan | March 2, 2008 5:31 PM
Let me start by saying "Happy Birthday Jensen!" I believe you "Rock" because no matter what role I've seen you in over the past few years, you always manage to bring your roles to a new level. You have charisma and a charm that your fans love! Good job!
All the best,

Hy, i don't speak english, but my love for Jensen Ackles is so big, who i'am post here, but i will speak in portuguese,sorry. Oi jensen, acho muito dificil voce ler alguma coisa que nos estamos escrevendo aqui,ainda mais em portugues, mas eh que te adoramos tanto, que topamos fazer qualquer coisa por voce. Te acho, um excelente ator, reunindo varias caracteristicas que um ator de alto nivel deve reunir, voce emociona, diverte, passa confianca, realmente acreditamos em voce em todas as suas cenas. Parabens pelos seus 30 anos, agora passou a ser um balsaquiano hein, rsrsrs. TE DESEJO TODA A SORTE DO MUNDO, VARIOS PAPEIS EXCELENTES, E EH CLARO QUE CONTINUE NOS PRESENTEANDO TODAS AS SEMANAS COM EPISODIOS NOVOS DE SUPERNATURAL, POIS EU NAO SEI VIVER SEM ASSITIR VOCE INTERPRETANDO DEAN WHINCHESTER. PARABENS, Happy Birthday Jensen Ackles. Byyyy.

Happy, Happy Birthday Jensen!
The Commitment: I am talking about the way every episode of Supernatural, especially those few episodes that were not so stellar in terms of writing that he carried through with his dedication giving it his full 100 percent talent. His total immersion and dedication to the roles he has is what makes him a great actor willingly to get out of his comfort zone.
Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into the character Dean and Supernatural Jensen. It's the wonderful efforts of you and Jared that keeps people coming back to watch the Winchester brothers not the demons and ghouls.
Posted by: Nneka | March 2, 2008 5:45 AM
I've never understood how people could get so attached to celebrities they didn't know until I started watching Supernatural. Jensen has an awfully endearing tendency to break my heart, a tendency which Jared is also picking up on since they've started working together, and they always put it back together again with sheer awesomeness.
The end of Dream a Little Dream of Me (trying not to be spoilery >.>) just confirmed what I've suspected for a while: this guy, and this show, OWN MY SOUL. Jensen, I hope you stick with Supernatural as long as you can, and that you get to do other fabulous things in the future, as well. I'll be doing my absolute best to see every movie you make (and I'm working on catching up on the old stuff!)
Much love and a very happy 30th birthday!! The age looks really good on you. :)
Posted by: Annalisa | March 2, 2008 4:36 AM
Jensen has more acting talent than many actors twice his age, and they've had longer to develop.
I'm surprised the film producers aren't clamouring for him, but I'm glad that we get to see his talent more often because he's on the small screen.
Missed his birthday for my reply but hope he considers 30 as the breakthrough age. I'm sure he'll be noticed more from now on
(by the producers I mean).
Posted by: sonya | March 2, 2008 4:10 AM
Happy belated Birthday Jensen. I hope you had a nice day with your family and friends.
As for the 30 reasons: I think it's a wonderful idea. I think we all love Jensen for who he is and I hope he will stay that way and not change.
Other than that I think that nothing is left to say that the others haven't said.
I wish Jensen the best for his future.
Posted by: Verena | March 2, 2008 3:28 AM
Hope your day was awesome, Jensen, and that you got to spend it with those you love and who love you.
One thing I admire about Jensen is that, even when he's uncomfortable with something, i.e., appearing at conventions, he still does it and gives it his all. He shows his gratitude and appreciation to his fans even though he is not completely at ease in the situation. I could go on and list many other admirable qualities, but I'd only be stating the obvious. Thanks, Jensen, for showing us you love us, too. Good luck in all that you pursue, may God richly bless you and bestow upon you all that you desire.

Happy birthday!!

His Soulful Singing.
He's not only an incredibly gifted actor (and you have to be to not only act in soaps and dramas, but to do it with such genuine feeling and depth), and one of the most gorgeous men I've ever seen (his smile and eyes take my breath away).
When I first watched a video of him singing 'Crazy Love' my heart sung. The soul he shows in his voice, speaking and singing is a beautiful thing.
Happy Birthday Jensen! I pray it's a blessed one.

Congratulations
Posted by: mahine | March 1, 2008 10:15 PM
Jensen regularly gives performances worthy of an Emmy in his role as Dean Winchester and yet he’s humble about both his talent, and his obvious good looks. I love that he has such a trusting working relationship with Jared that if either man believes that the other has a better performance in him on set, or is sleepwalking through a scene both men care enough and are honest enough to let the other know.
And on a purely shallow note, Jensen looks absolutely adorable when he wears his glasses!
Happy birthday from Australia Jensen, and I hope that whatever future acting roles that come your way are worthy of your talent.

Happy B-day Jensen you are awesome.Thanks for making my thursdays wonderful.
Posted by: Jackie | March 1, 2008 8:08 PM
Definitely agree with all the reasons listed above. He is an amzingly versatile actor and, in Dean, he has brought one of, if not, THE BEST TV character ever, to life. The combination of strength, passion, humour and heartwrenching vulnerability leave me breathless. I admire Jensen's strong work ethic and the care and dedication he brings to his craft. Also the respect he shows to the people around him whether it be at work or in public, and the kindness and generosity to his fans. Meeting him briefly while he was down here in Australia recently, was a definite highlight. The fact that he stopped to speak to me and have a couple of photos taken, even though it was getting late and he was probably a little tired meant a lot to me. Thank you Jensen you are a gentleman, and your time was most appreciated.
Lastly his modesty is refreshing, he may be a little taken aback by the passion of our Birthday greetings and Reasons for admiring him, but don't be Jensen you deserve every kind word, every accolade. Cheers, hope you had a great day, sorry this particular greeting is late, but hope you got the printed Birthday Greetings from our Channel 10 representative while you were down here. Take care and come back for a visit soon! love Raelynne x

So many things have already been said that I hesitate to comment myself. Yet, how can I not....when I first started watching Supernatural during the first season I will admit although I loved the character, I hadn't yet been hit with the Dean lightning-bolt of greatness, it snuck up on me as I watched him creat depth out of the character of Dean Winchester. Cocky-one lined womanizer became the unselfish, giving, but never asking with a side order of meloncoly. His blazing loyality to his family and all the self sacrafice, covered over by gthe snarky joking brother we all love.
Jensen's performance has become flawless has me laughing, then in tears....what a bittersweet place I find in his eyes. The more I learn about the real man behind the character the more I love him, and yet nothing I say could really express how I feel about him...about the show. They helped me find something I'd lost long ago, a part of my self identady I thought was lost...my inspiration to write. So Jensen thats why you are so great because you inspire us to become better people.
Happy birth day
Your forever inspired fan. Lacey Woolf

That you have more and more success!

All the best for you, one of the most charming, gorgeous and overtalented actor in the world. I thank god for knowing you thru the screen, and I hope on day meet you only for few minutes and lookig deeply at your eyes. Everytime I've saw your work was a kind plasure not only because the emotional impact received but for the touch felt in my heart. I wish you tons of good wishes, have a great day, and do not forget that southwards to Brazil exist the most beautiful country in the world: Argentina, waiting for you with amazing horses, impressive landscapes, mutlietnical traditions, tango dancing (of course!) and all of love.

First of all : Happy birthday to you Jensen !
Hope you will have a terrific day with all your friends and family and that you won't be able to remember it tomorrow, or only through pictures (or videos) and this terrible hang-over (that makes you regret all this cocktails!)
Than, to add something to the 30 reasons why Jensen rocks - a lot of good reasons have been listed already - but I should say :
7 - The risks in his career :
From a part in a little indy movie (TenInchHero) to a major role on stage (A few good men) Jensen has always shown that he was able to take risk and do things totally different to express his talent.
While a lot of actors enjoy their time out during their break, Jensen grabs the opportunity to do something different !
And that's a lot..
So keep on the good work
PS : you don't look like 3/0 :-)
From Paris with love
Posted by: Corinne | March 1, 2008 5:43 PM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENSEN!!! The big 3-0 hu, it's just a number, it doesn't mean anything. You're still awesome and you're looking better than ever. You are the first Actor I’ve seen that makes every thing look great. Not just because of your stunning looks, but your AMAZING Acting!! There could be a horrible scene going on and then you would show up and balance it out. You can portray almost every emotion perfectly! I have to admit when ever you cry on Supernatural I feel like giving you a big hug because your soOo GOOD!!
I wish you all the happiness in the world and I hope your birthday is a memorable one.
The best says are yet to come ;) You ROCK!!!
Posted by: Silva | March 1, 2008 5:43 PM
Happy Birthday!
I love how he can just jump into a character. He brings realness to a role even though it's something you don't see anyone ever doing, you can sit and think that's what it would look like if someone were really like that.
"What's in the box!" or "but you didn't shoot the deputy" comes to mind
not to mention he's a master at controlling his facial expressions
Posted by: Lauren | March 1, 2008 5:24 PM

A very happy birthday to you Jensen! You're an absolutely incredible actor, an extremely kind and selfless person...the list goes on. And just for the record, you're the most gorgeous man I've ever seen!<3 Not to mention that you're like "fine wine"; you just get better and better with age. Supernatural is absolutely my most favorite show to watch, and seeing you crack off "deanisms" and saving lives with Sammy is my therapy and joy of the week! Have a happy, happy birthday! We fans love you soooo much!
Posted by: Sammi | March 1, 2008 5:09 PM
Happy 30th Jensen!!!!! You're absolutely amazing and beautiful on both the outside and inside and you'll always be great no matter what age you are! I think that reasons why Jensen rocks are:
The Connection:
When you're watching Jensen, it's like you're the one in the scene and when he says something you believe he's saying it to you. No matter the level of knowledge you have of him, it always seems like you know him when you see him both in invterviews and on screen. When he cries, you feel it and you cry with him, when he laughs, you can't help but laugh as well because it's like your own personal joke, and when he talks, you feel like your standing right beside him, both ready to enter into danger or otherwise!
We love you Jensen!!!
Posted by: Collette | March 1, 2008 4:55 PM
What impresses me about his acting is the way his eyes communicate everything without having to open his mouth!Words are needless.
Yeah,he's gorgeous,yeah,he's an outstanding actor, but he's also a simple guy who was brought up pretty well by his family.He's polite,patient,intelligent,kind,hard-working,funny,ironic,shy,honest,a boy of very good taste,friendly,responsible,loving and respectful.Don't ever change,Jensen.We love you just the way you are.
Enjoy your party!!!
Kisses from Brazil.
Posted by: Flávia | March 1, 2008 4:41 PM
Jensen is the greatest there is. The probable reason they won't put him on the big screen is because they are afraid that he'll push all the current celebs into the shadows. I haven't had the honors of meeting him yet, but I don't need to do that to realize that he is the best guy there is. The way he does Dean can't be described in words. He is obviously the best man to do the job, and he just keeps proving it every week. Another thing is, as said before, his spontaneity, a.k.a. his humor, the way he makes everyone laugh. That laugh shines a very bright and warm light in all directions. If you are unhappy at that particular moment, I'm sure that smile will pull all the unhappiness out of you. (That's what happened in my case.) I would have to agree with a previous entry, that there aren't enough numbers to count the reasons why Jensen is simply the best. Anyhow, I hope that there will be a con outside the English speaking territory, so that I could come and at least get an autograph. In this time zone at least, Jensen's birthday will last for another half an hour, so I better make this quick.
Jensen, best wishes from me, as well as all the other Croatian fans. Have a great time celebrating, and let there be at least another 60 birthdays for you to celebrate.
Posted by: Crofan | March 1, 2008 4:37 PM
Well...Jensen is just like wine...the older,the better.It may sound cliché,but it fits him.Every year we see a more handsome and talented Jensen - it's like an endless source of awesomeness!Everything in Jensen is gorgeous - his eyes,his smile,shis hair,his wrinkles,his freckles,the way he raises his eyebrows or smirks at us, it's just killing!But that's obvious.What I find amazing about him is his talent.He makes us laugh,cry,be scared (evil!Dean!!!),be simpathetic,fall in love with him!There isn't a character he couldn't play!
And when you said: "We have no idea why Jensen isn't a major movie star -- he's got more talent than half the guys his age on the big screen today",dude,you took the words right out of my mouth!Wake up,Hollywood!!!
Long live Jensen Ackles!Wish you lots of work,success,health,love,happiness,fun and awesome characters for our delight!
Super Happy Birthday!
Lots of love from Brazil.

The fact that he has spent nearly 30 years explaining why his first name is Jensen and he still patiently answers the question with a smile.
It's endearing :)
Happy birthday Jensen
Posted by: Anni | March 1, 2008 4:25 PM
I only discovered Jensen with the premiere of Supernatural. From the first episode, I was hooked. The man is wonderful to watch, his talent far out shining his looks which are breath-taking (I am such a sucker for freckles). He is surely destined to go far and become a major star.
Happy Birthday, Jensen. Your talent is awesome. I can't help but think of Cary Grant when I watch your comedic antics. You look like you are having fun and not working. It's a joy to watch you perform.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENSEN!!
I totally agree with your list.. Everything about Jensen is perfect.. his acting, his looks, his personality.. I don't have one bad thing to say about the man..I love him to death!!

HAPPY 30 BRITHDAY JENSEN YOU SEXY STUD OF A MAN and I had a lot of info for you but it's gone
Posted by: yvonne | March 1, 2008 2:00 PM
My mother (and your mother and HER mother) always used to tell us that handsome/pretty is as handsome/pretty does. You, Jensen, already know you're one of those blessed with outrageously good looks, but you also know such things change with age. The best thing about you is that you're handsome INSIDE, too, a kind, giving man who will be remembered for your generous heart years after Dean Winchester and SUPERNATURAL have been relegated to questions on Jeopardy. Happy 30th birthday, Jensen! Love, Robin

1. The Joy
That he has in his own life and brings to others.
2. The Eyebrow
Just the one. The quirk. Excellent.
3. The Way he says 'Bingo'.
4. The Loyalty
To family, friends, colleagues.
5. The Kindness
How he treats people.
6. The Manners
He does Texas proud.
7. The Number of Caramels he can eat at one time.
8. The Double Act with Jared
The two of them together are hysterical.
9. The Class
He is not perfect, goofs around, pranks people etc. but when it comes down to it he has his principles. Class.
10. The Way he smiles with a Pen in his Mouth.
Happy birthday mate! Here's to the next 30 :)

I wish you the Best Year Ever, Jensen! Been adoring you since the very beginning of Supernatural! You are a true talent, a real sweetie and just too adorable for words! Big hugs and smoochies and Happy Birthday!! xo Nada :D
Posted by: Khanada | March 1, 2008 1:41 PM
There are probably a million and one reasons why Jensen rocks. I agree with what everyone else has said so far.
His acting abilities are awesome. From love lorn Eric on Days to the kick ass Dean on, of course, Supernatural, he never misses a beat.
Happy 30th Birthday Jensen. I think I speak for everyone here when I say we look forward to another 30 years of Jensen awesomeness!!!!!
Posted by: Heather | March 1, 2008 1:38 PM
Happy 30 Jensen! I will be 30 in 17 days! He does make it look good...makes me feel a little better about the whole thing. (Which I need since I do have four kiddies!) But seriously, one of his 30 list should be this: All the things we DON'T know about him. The side that only family and close friends see. Yes, at meet and greets he's great...as those of you who have met him have said. But there's things we don't know and probably never will. So, here's to the rest of him!
Posted by: lavender | March 1, 2008 1:33 PM
Jensen you are truly amazing!! you amaze me everytime i see you. When i met you at the chicago convention, you were soo sweet, funny, and polite. When i see you on tv, you can pull off any kind of scene, and you steal any scene that you are in (you also steal my heart). I don't know how you do it but, you can be funny, serious, scary, sad, caring, cocky, cute, sweet, mean, angry, lovable, adorable, emotional, loving and so many more things when you act. When i ever i watch you on tv, i always feel like i'm watching something that is really happening, your acting is soo good that i forget that i'm watching a tv show. Along with your talent, your looks leave me speechless. One look into those gorgeoes green eyes is enough to melt my heart. Your lips will make any girl wish she could kiss you. and of course, we all know you have an amazing body (the pecs and the those shoulders). I always thought that god could not make a person that is perfect in every way, and you totally proved me wrong! I hope you have a very very happy birthday!! I hope you get all the love and happiness you deserve!
-Love

Posted by: susannah eanes | March 1, 2008 12:39 PM
Reasons we love Jensen? There are so many to choose from. I completely agree with all those reasons given so far.
For me the thing that clinched it was when I discovered that, despite his great skills in front of the camera as an actor, he is not the most comfortable when he is being interviewed.
The man is a fantastic talent but for him to be reserved and at times shy and/or uncomfortable talking about himself is completely endearing.
I remember in the StarTV interview, when asked what scares him he pointed to the camera and said, "that camera right there". So sweet.
After that, it has to be his cutting sarcasm.
My kinda guy!
Have a great B'Day Jensen

Happy birthday Jensen!!!!
I love all the reasons that have been provided about why I "love" Jensen...and I have to say that I really can't choose one single factor. It really is a package deal: the smile, the sincerity, the commitment, the acting, the passion, that sarcastic wit, the eyes, his laugh, the voice, the intelligence, the freckles...(Jensen brought Freckles back :P)...seriously, I can go on and on...
the best of luck to Jensen and happy wishes to him and his family!

Feliz Cumpleaños Jensen!!!, He is such a great actor, I really enjoy Dean in supernatural, When Dean is sad I want to hug him!!!,I hope one day jensen came to México!!! :)
Posted by: Sara G. | March 1, 2008 11:13 AM
I agree with everything said about Jensen so far. One of my favorite things about Jensen is his friendship with Jared. It's so nice to see co-stars who actually like each other, and are so supportive of each other. It warms my heart and really makes their on-screen relationship shine. I love the Winchester brothers, and it is all due to the authentic portrayal of the characters by Jensen and Jared.
Posted by: Deborah | March 1, 2008 10:45 AM
I'd have to say 30 is the best birthday!
Jensen rocks because plain and simple, he is a wonderful actor. He can do it all - humor, angst, horror, sadness, goofiness, you name it!
I hope Jensen spends his with friends and family and gets everything he wishes for because he deserves it!
Because of Jensen and his wonderful show, I now have many amazing new friends that I don't just chat with online!
So thank you Jensen and Happy 30th!
Posted by: LindsayW | March 1, 2008 10:20 AM
Happy Birthday Jensen! I had never seen you before SPN but you have a lifelong fan in me.
My addition to the 30 reasons that Jensen rocks? His chameleon like ability with emotions. I have never seen anyone able to say so much, so clearly with the twitch of a lip or the quirk of a brow. He is an incredible actor.
All the best in the world to you Jensen!

His Hard-Work
Being on the set of Supernatural for as long as he is every week takes so much hard-work and dedication. You bring us and INCREDIBLE show and we all thank you so much for that. Rehearsing lines as soon as he gets the script and delivering them perfectly, Dean Wincheter would not be Dean if it wasn't for Jensen's enormous effort. Plus, he flies out to give interviews after working until 4 in the morning so all of his fans can see him and get to know him a little bit better. Thank you so much Jensen for all of the hard-work you put in and Happy Birthday!!! =)

Happy Birthday Jensen! I wish you the greatest luck and that all your dreams come true!
When I become 30 I want to be as pretty as you are now (well you always were but now you are even prettier)
I think you're a great actor but also a great person!

Happy 30th Birthday from a UK fan!
He rocks for not getting into the whole Hollywood scene, he's a Texan boy who loves his family and tries to keep his personal life out of the limelight.
As for his acting, his range is amazing, from in your face comedy to an understated single look that somehow conveys half a dozen emotions. I'm genuinely excited about the rest of his career.
I love how he wants to make the set happy and comfortable for the people who work there, and everyone who works on Supernatural only have great things to say about the experience.
Posted by: deric | March 1, 2008 9:39 AM
P.S.
Another great reason to love Jensen
His great personality, his generous spirit and the love and respect he earns from those that work with him. Way to go and good luck on your next 30 years. I hope to see you up on the big screen soon.

Greetings from Germany^^
I love how he takes his job so serious and how he just amazingly well adapts to his characters and at the same time still keeps his own persona clearly seperated from those he plays.
and yeah, I showed some of his pics to my exchange mom from Sydney, Australia, and she went: OMG, I've a new favourite actor!
He's just too handsome to be true
Posted by: MrE-Quecky | March 1, 2008 8:38 AM
He can evoke such emotions in me-a person NOT usually prone to emotional displays or demonstrations. I LOVE him for this-truly someone born to his craft. Happy Birthday, JA!

The Charisma
When a great looking guy enters a roomful of people, he holds all the girls attention. When Jensen Ackles enters a roomful of people, everyone would pay attention. As in everyone! When one great-looking guy turns out to be only good-looking and nothing else, even girls would develop ADHD. But with Jensen Ackles' charisma, he can grab people's attention and hold them till he leaves. He's a hottie alright but he's also witty, charming, playful, smart and most of all very down to earth. You can throw all of People Mag's list of Most Beautiful in one room and they'll be forgotten once Jensen enters the scene.

Happy Birthday Jensen Ackles.
I don't know if this even gehts through but I still will write something.
6 years ago, when Dark Angel first aired in Germany I recognized this handsome man in one episode. I googled him the next day and found a little about him. I didn't really remembered his name until - the second season of Dark Angel aired and I was like: Whoa, this is great. Jensen Ackles is a main character. I was 14 back then and had a not so good time. Jensen Ackles accompanied me in my teenager-time and ... yeah I was kind of obsessed with him. Then a few years I didn't really care for any tv stuff until Smallville 4th season aired in Germany. Well... I was older and did not just see his good looks. I saw him as my first real celebrity crush... who accompanied me through a really tough time. When I sat alone in my room watching SV oder DA. But more and more I saw his personality... at least that what you can "see" in a star. Then came SPN and I totally "fell in love" with him and like a lot of other fans I tried to find everything out what I could.
Like I said before - it's not just his good looks. He is sweet and always kind to fans at meetings even when there are incidents like at Asylum '07. He has a great sense of humor and a great chemistry with Jared. All this makes it quite hard not to like him.
Again: Happy Birthday Jensen Ackles, all good in the world, luck in your relationship, in your career and in your life.

I find it hard to add to what everyone has already mentioned.
Jensen is definitely everything everyone has said.
What I can add is this:
Jensen has helped me in many ways. (Not in the physical sense) I've gone through a lot of crap in the past 3 years and if it hadnt been for him and Supernatural, I probably wouldnt be sitting here, typing this. I'd probably be...well...let's just say, I'd be partying with Princess Diana and Elvis.
I had some issues with self injury and Jensen gave me something to look forward to...an outlet. I could watch Supernatural and not think about a razor or the last fight I had with my mom. I could watch him and my life would seem lighter for that hour. I may not know him but this guy has kept me alive. Thanks Jen! Happy Birthday!
xoxo,
Kayla

A very, VERY happy 30th birthday to you, Jensen!! The thirties are pretty damned fine, I assure you, so relax, kick back and enjoy them. May fun, love and laughter always be yours, m'dear.
As for reasons we love Jensen so much, may I add - The Class. It's one of those things money can never buy, folk either have it or they don't, and Jensen most certainly DOES! He is a classy man and it shows in his approach to life, his art, his colleagues, his public, everything. It's a quality that sadly seems to be getting left behind in today's entertainment industry (not to mention in general, too, perhaps being seen these days as something uncool to be??), so it's refreshing and beautiful to see a young star conducting himself with such dignity and aplomb. Jensen is a class act - no two ways about it!

Happy Birthday, Jensen!! Hope its your best yet!
I love all the aspects of Jensen above! I also love how giving he is. He gives so much of himself to us, in his acting, his time with fans, the interviews. You get my point. I've never had the pleasure of meeting Jensen (maybe one day) but his actions speak loud and clear. He's a good ol' Texas boy that his mama raised right!!!
Love ya, Jensen!
Posted by: Katie | March 1, 2008 12:43 AM
Finally! Someone else besides me agrees that the acting is seriously underrated. I happen to like the color of his eyes and the freckles across his nose. Not to mention he's bowlegged. Women in my family would eat him up!
Posted by: Erica | March 1, 2008 12:33 AM

Jensen is magic,makes his character so real and reasonable,feels like 'that's them (in the show), can't be more or less'

Happy 30th, and a reason you rock...hmm, that's a hard one...I may have to think a while...JUST KIDDING! One of the main reasons you kick some serious ass is that you ARE whatever character you play. I forget it is Jensen Ackles up on the screen, and see the character you are portraying, and I think that is the mark of a great actor!
And although I have never met you, I also hear you are gracious and kind to your fans! That Good ol' Texas Boy attitude has stayed with you all this time! Good for you! :)
Congrats on the milestone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENSEN!
Posted by: yemila | February 29, 2008 11:28 PM
Happy Birthday Jensen!! (btw he has the same bday as my mom!)
ok some more reasons to add to the list.
6) Texas. Hes a good ol' Texas boy through and through. Texas boys are proud, respectful gentlemen and probably part of the reason he hasn't "lost himself"
7) Intelligence. Jensen knows just because he is an actor making the big bucks doesn't mean he can slide by life without knowledge. Jensen has said IF he watches TV its usually the discovery channel and he reads lots of books including the encyclopedia.
8) Hard worker and dedicated. Supernatural takes A LOT of time, a lot more than most TV shows and it takes him away from home for 9 months of the year. Jensen (and Jared) both do most their own stunts and both work their tail off to provide the audience with a great product.
9) Considerate/caring. Kripke said that he had a confrence call with both boys during the writers strike and the FIRST thing he heard from both of them was how the crew was doing, and if they could do anything to help (meaning financially/support because they were out of work).
10) Gratitude. Jensen doesnt take his gift and career for granted. He has said he is very fortunate to have a job that takes him all over the world and he is able to contribute and do the things he does.
11) The Sarcasm. Ya gotta love his sarcastic humor its hilarious and witty. The world would be a better place if people just lived life and took things in stride--dont sweat the small stuff and make life fun/funny!
12) The eyes. Ok i had to have ONE of these. I LOVE his greenish eyes--absolutely amazing.
13) The professionalism. Jensen is a professional--he does not get caught up in the red carpet hollywood drama. He tries to live a normal life and does what he has to for the suits.
14) The carefree boy. Jensen knows how to be laid-back and have fun. Pulling a prank or just havin a good time with a buddy--that is Jensen. But he knows when to turn it off and get work done.
Theres many more but those are what i can think of now.

The determination not be mediocre. The most important thing for Jensen it seems is to give Dean justice each and every performance. He keeps the character near and dear and that shines through in every episode.
Happy Birthday J, be good ;)
Posted by: Jenn | February 29, 2008 11:03 PM
I agree with your initial reasons, beginning with his acting skill. His ability was the first thing that caught my eye (okay, the second thing: eyes went to 'teh pretty' first, I suppose!) when he played Ben in the "Pollo Loco" episode of "Dark Angel."
To your list, and to the additions proposed by others (especially including Dodger's one of "Respect"), I would add:
Professionalism
From everything I've seen, his focus is always on doing the best possible job, whether it's in portraying his character in take after take, in interacting with fans, or in delivering on an interview. He always appears to be prepared and fully committed to the moment. Commentary by others on his work has stressed the care he takes to deliver on a performance (learning to play piano - and brilliantly, too! - for one episode of "Dark Angel", and taking exquisite care of Annette O'Toole while filming the scene in "Smallville" where his character Jason manhandled her Martha Kent) both in terms of his own delivery and for what he gives generously to his fellow actors to make their performances also the best they could do.
Generosity
As noted above, Jensen yields the spotlight to others, and does things in his own performance to showcase the abilities and delivery of the folk he's working with. He also gives of his own time and attention to fans and interviewers.
I hope that he has a delightful birthday!
Posted by: Bardicvoice | February 29, 2008 11:00 PM
Jensen is such an amazing actor; he uses every part of him to convey emotions so naturally. He's intelligent, witty, and insanely beautiful. On top of all this, he remains gracious and humble.
Jensen, you are a wonderful actor and a great guy. I hope your 30th birthday is everything you want it to be and more!

Jensen is just an amazing person in so many ways. I wouldn't even be able to list them all. Thats why we all adore him to no limit. His acting is so incredible and he's the only person who can have me believing that anything is real.

Why Jensen rocks?
He's real. Pure and simple.
Thanks Jensen and have a great birthday!

Jensen Rocks because~
1. He can leave me in a pile of crying goo one minute and have me Rolling on the floor laughing the next.
2. He knows how to bring his characters to life, and make the audience feel for them.
3. He doesnt have to say Hello, He has us with his smile!
4. "Do you think its because he's so Awesome? I think its because he's so Awesome"
Happy Birthday Jensen..and Thank-You for just being You!
Welcome to the Old Folks club! :D

Happy Birthday Jensen!!! :)
Honestly, I couldn't think of anything else to add, except to say all of the above, lol. You are an incredible actor and God has blessed you with amazing talent. I started watching you in Dark Angel as Alec and you're the reason I started watching Supernatural. You simply amaze me with your ability to make any scene feel so realistic and believable. You are in my prayers. God bless! :)

The Faith
Rare these days. Rarer still when a celebrity has the courage to publicly thank God for all he's accomplished. Happy Birthday, Jensen. You're an amazing actor. Far more important, you're a good and humble man.
Posted by: C.T. | February 29, 2008 8:14 PM
He has a great sense of humor and always know's the right thing to say in a difficult situation, now i must admit that we fangirls might give him a lot of trouble,but he always brushes it off
AND that's why i LOVE him!
P.S. He's also a talented actor

Thank you for my great Thursdays!

Happy Birthday Jensen. :)
Not much more I could add to the list that hasn't already been said.

Jensen is one of the most versatile actors I've ever seen! He can play a heart throb hottie in one show, a sassy transgenic in another, and then wow us by being Satan's son! And then, to top it off, he still is just a good ole boy from Texas! So many layers to him, so little time to see it all!
Happy Birthday Jensen! You are truly one of those actors that I wouldn't mind being friends with for real and seeing you act as much as possible just for the sheer joy of watching you wow the crowd! Please keep being the best and keep that gorgeous smile bright because we love you!

Those lips, those eyes, that gorgeous smile, those freckles, the body, that hair, that deep sexy voice! The fact that he seems like just a regular guy. That celebrity hasn't got to him!
And the talent. Oh that talent. The charm, the humor, the rage, the happiness, the sensitivity, the confidence, the caring, the anger, the sadness. He can play them all oh so flawlessly. He's truly a natural talent!!
Jensen is the ultimate package!
Happy 30th Birthday Jensen!! May all your birthday wishes come true. Much love and luck this year!!!

Jensen makes me care about what happens to Dean Winchester. He gives Dean a face, a voice, a heart, and a soul in a way that few actors can do today. I would be proud to have a son like Dean Winchester, whether he looked like Jensen Ackles or not. I have NO clue as to why there are not at least two Emmys sitting on his mama's mantle right this minute. I wish him a very happy birthday and a great career.
Posted by: DJ | February 29, 2008 7:44 PM

You are the best of all actors, mans etc. in all world!

Happy Birthday Jensen!! I hope you have an awesome day dude! You totally deserve it <3
One of the reasons Jensen is so fantastic is the sheer scale of his talents. I'm not talking about his acting here (although he is amazing), but about his singing.
Jensen has such a beautiful voice that he's not afraid to share. I love that he will get up on stage for his fans and duet with a friend of his (Crazy Love, anyone?!) even though he's not really in the mood to. Or that he’ll be a backing singer to help a friend out. Jensen could easily slip into the music business, and he could make a fortune, I bet! But he keeps it for his spare time, and I love that he doesn’t mind sharing that with us from time to time.
Posted by: Katie | February 29, 2008 7:23 PM
What makes Jensen Rock? He is:
intelligent, caring, humble, mischievous, generous, sarcastic, strong yet also vulnerable, makes acting look effortless (and everyone knows GREAT acting isn’t easy) and oh yeah handsome NOT pretty; there is nothing feminine about him !!!
Happy 30th, Jensen. Hope you can spend the day with your love – if not party hardy!! May your 30s bring you continued success professionally and personal happiness.
Ciao,
Alessandra

Happy birthday, Jensen! I hope you receive today tons of love for who you are, not for the way you look.
Your beauty is stunning, but passing. Your talent and charisma though, are not.
I hope your life is full of people who love you at all times when you're not beautiful and smiling, funny or adorable; but when you're grumpy, unhappy, tired and fed up, or mean :-) I wish you they to never fail your trust, and to always be honest, considerate, and genuine. As to be all the love you receive in your life, too.
Happy Birthday to a wonderful person, and very talented actor from small and beautiful Bulgaria. You are greatly appreciated and loved here.
Sincerely,
Alex

Jensen Ackles is a Man of his word:
I met him in Texas at the play he did. He looked very tired after the performance but was graciously meeting members of the press and VIPS.
There was a young lady and her mother traveling with me. The young lady was there to see Jensen in the play as a graduation present. Jensen was very nice to pose for a picture with the young lady, but when he stepped away her mother noticed that Jensen's head was cut off in the photo.
Jensen said he would come back and retake the photo when he was finished talking to his family. I have often heard other celebs make a promise like this when they are tired and they often do not come back because they have simply lost track and want to go home.
Jensen Ackles, even as exhausted as he was, was an absolute man of his word and came back to retake the photo with the young lady. It turned out great and he even thanked us for being there and waiting on him.
Happy 30th birthday to Jensen Ackles who is a talented, actor, handsome gentleman and an absolute man of his word.
Posted by: Marla | February 29, 2008 5:35 PM
Happy Birthday Jensen. Watch out for those bottle of Geritol and Centrum Silver!!
Why we love Jensen...Have you seen the man??? -laughs- Seriously though, he is the kind of person who would of been friends with everyone in school. His genuine appreciation for his fans can not be faked. The laughter, smiles, the time he takes to sign autographs. That is genuine.
One more thing...The Jensen eyebrow. I swear that thing has a mind of its own. How does he DO that???
We love ya here in the mid west Jensen!!

I have to agree with the beginning of the list and would like to add that not only is he a talented actor but he can sing too!!!
Posted by: Alicia | February 29, 2008 5:00 PM
The Respect.
Why does Jensen rock? All of your reasons to be sure, but it's the level of respect he affords every subject that rocks the boat hardest. While he's clearly a master of The Funny and The Genuine, and it was very, very hard not to pick "The Smart" as right answer here, I have to go with The Respect just because Jensen doesn't glib off on questions where snark is the easy answer, nor PR the company line instead of giving due consideration to the actual conversation in which he is engaged.
So much of an actor's present is based on their ability to read the context of any question and respond to the best possible APPEARANCE of being smart, funny, charming, sexy ... whatever. But you can see Jensen THINKING in those eyes of his, and you can see the answer coming from his brain, not his publicist.
And that's respect ... not for his career, but for his art, his fans and whatever interviewer is asking him a question he's probably been asked a hundred times, yet he still shows the individual he's talking to the respect of answering their question from the moment he's in rather than trotting out some boilerplate response that's more fast-twitch muscle memory than anything else.
Happy Birthday, Jensen. You're not a major movie star yet for the same reasons you will be a major acting icon later ... you got the respect. And the soul and the smart to back it.
Posted by: Dodger | February 29, 2008 4:40 PM
Happy Birthday Jensen! We have the same birthday! IT'S FATE!!
I LOVE
His bowlegs
His smile

Posted by: Jenny | February 29, 2008 4:35 PM
Only 30 reasons why Jensen rocks? I can't wait he turns 90, co I could think of 90 reasons why he's the best :-)
He rocks, his acting is amazing and makes me speechless. This guy can break my heart first and make me laugh second after. He delivers Dean’s quotes like no one would ever do (and his voice!! OMG it’s incredible!!!). Besides, he’s so down-to-earth guy, nice, intelligent and funny. But what makes him great man is his respect for people. And do I even have to mention he’s the most attractive guy on the earth? But we all know it already, don’t we?
HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY JENSEN!!! I hope you stay as you are even when you get your first Oscar (which you get out of doubt).
Posted by: patrusia | February 29, 2008 4:24 PM
I don't know how random one can get but here's hoping that I'll be allowed to post this on the ground that it's all for the love of the Ackles.
Jensen, as many before have said in multiple ways, is absolutely brilliant. He's a man of talent, of patience, of beauty. Inside and out. When I first saw him, he's just another pretty face. When I heard him the first time, my heart broke and bled for him. I honestly, completely adore him for just being him.
So. Mr Ackles. Here's for another years in your life and here's hoping for many, many more to celebrate and laugh over. We love you and words cannot suffice to show just how much.
Happy Birthday and have a rockin' one!
Posted by: fataliss | February 29, 2008 4:10 PM
'The Maturing'
You know how people say things / people get better with age and you never believe them?
You think it's just some big furphy to make people feel better about getting older.
Well Jensen Ackles is living breathing proof that they were telling the truth...and what a fine looking truth that is.
HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY!
Posted by: Deb | February 29, 2008 4:07 PM
The Smile Factor
You already listed the gorgeousness, so no, I'm not talking about Jensen's smile itself here. (But oh, I could. Elaborately.)
This is about how he makes *us* smile. Whether it be in blissed out joy over his acting, about his deadpan jokes in interviews or because he once more manages to lighten our mood by simply smiling himself.
And to list a reason within this reason:
Because the ways he makes us smile would make a pretty long list by themselves already. :D
Happy Birthday, Jensen.
May there always be a dream left for you to pursue.

Hi Jensen, Happy Birthday. You are an inspiration to so many people, on so many different levels, I really hope you realise it. Thank you for being you, from everyone here - don't ever change. Enjoy your day. x
Posted by: Jay | February 29, 2008 3:45 PM
Happy Birthday Jensen!
How he hasn't let celebrity get to him. He doesn't do things to get the paparazzi on him (he knows bad publicity is not acceptable publicity). He is still good friends with many of the people he first knew out here, and he treats them all with respect. No matter what stage their own careers are at. He's a genuine Texas gentleman.
Posted by: Heather | February 29, 2008 3:42 PM
I agree with all of the reasons listed so far!I think that Jensen is an awesome actor and I love how every character he acts with he really shows the emotion of the scene. The scenes that I'm thinking of are the moments with Jared (Sam) or when he was in What is and Should Never Be where he showed such emotion with his eyes! Just awesome!
Happy Birthday Jensen!!
Posted by: Izzy | February 29, 2008 3:39 PM
Dude, the eye lashes! They're GORGEOUS. They curl to perfection, they are long and just beautiful. A little--okay a lot--superficial, but they are worth noting.
Also, the versatility of his acting ability is astonishing. He's got great comedic timing, but he can also do the pure, brooding angst like no other. Fabulous.
Posted by: Crogos | February 29, 2008 3:33 PM
Genuine
You hear about how he talks to people at question and answer sessions and even hearing about random fan encounters. He is really genuine to people which to me speaks volumes about him as a person. I would rather hear about someone who took the time to talk to a fan genuinly then hear about anything else. I think it is a fantastic thing that he is like that even if he might be stressed or possibly tired. :)
We as fans are greatful :D
Posted by: Brianna | February 29, 2008 3:32 PM
His eyebrows and dorkiness.
What? The man can express so much with just a twitch of those eyebrows. He is also a big dork and it makes him all the more real and approachable.
Posted by: Dawn | February 29, 2008 3:25 PM
While watching any character played by Jensen..for sometime I just forget all the ups and downs of real life..and he really make me laugh, whenever I needed one...and sometimes tears to let out that have burdened me from inside..
Really really awesome and amazing actor..May you continue success and give us more reasons to be proud of you in future...
Happy 30th Birthday..Jensen!!!
Posted by: zunaira | February 29, 2008 3:20 PM
there isn't enough numbers in the world...
but i have to say his amazing heart is up there on awesomeness. though we'd rather forget it happened, the flying!fangirl did tackle the poor man. and yup, Jensen went and met with her, accepted an apology. that's more awesome than any body part of his
LOVE YA MAN!!! hope this decade rocks just as much as the last one did :D
Posted by: wench | February 29, 2008 3:11 PM
Okay, I'm going to be the one to go somewhat shallow (although not really) but:
1. His smile - from the eye crinkles to his fabulous lips to how it makes the world shine brighter anytime he really lets it out.
2. His freckles - c'mon, don't they just make you go awwwww how adorable?
3. His voice - the way its rough when he talks and sweet when he sings, the way he uses it almost like its an entity of its own.
I'll stop there before I get more weird looks *g*
Happy birthday, Jensen!

How much I love that the first reason is the acting!!!
I soo agree with that!and with all you wrote
Ok my reasons:5)Jensen rocks because he liked photograpy.
from his Variety interview 6)he loves the movie "Once Upon A Time In The West,” directed by Sergio Leone.
Posted by: elsa | February 29, 2008 1:59 PM
I wholeheartedly agree with your reasons. But what makes Jensen stand out is that it all comes in one package.
Every reason is great for itself, but having all these together in one person is just incredible.
Happy Birthday and much love from Germany, Jensen!
Thank you for everything you've given us so far. I'm looking forward to see lots more from you.

Plus all the reasons stated above :)
Posted by: val | February 29, 2008 1:54 PM
The Wise Crack:
Jensen is an actor who adds life to his character Dean. He loves the character, and plays him well. He tends to bring a little bit of humor to tense situations and at the same time reminds us of classic movies that bring back memories.
Happy Birthday!!! 30 is Great.

I had the enormous pleasure of meeting Jensen in person back in September, 2007, and he was sweet, gracious and accommodating as he stood posing for pictures with me and my friends. He's a southern gentleman, a fantastic actor and a sweetheart of a guy! Happy 30th, Jensen, and many more! Love, Robin
Posted by: Robin | February 29, 2008 1:48 PM
yeah, he's annoyingly good-looking ... yes, he has molestable freckles. but what i appreciate most about him is his sense of humour. far from being ridiculous or narrow-minded, jensen is able to drop a mean one-liner and knock anyone off. it's hard to find good sarcasm - and jensen delivers it flawlessly.
Posted by: mademoiselle K | February 29, 2008 1:43 PM
Good grief there are so many reasons...
Like, the way he can express so much with just an ever-so-subtle change in stance, or expression.
The fact that he seems to *get* how much it means to fans to get the chance to interact with him (met him at Asylum con last year - he was such a sweetie!).
The fact that he's just so damn talented, he can pull the viewer into a character and then pull the rug out from under the viewer in a heartbeat - and still make that viewer love him for it.
All in? The main reason Jensen rocks? Because he's Jensen.
Happy 30th!
Posted by: Shona | February 29, 2008 1:42 PM
Happy Birthday Jensen! Ahhh the big 3 0, welcome to my world mate! Now all I can say is... does that mean I can come up with 30 perfect reasons why we love you? Or your character, or even Supernatural for that matter!
Posted by: Sam | February 29, 2008 1:35 PM
Happy birthday, Jensen! Your performances were what hooked me on Supernatural, and your Dean continues to be the absolute best reason to watch this show. May you continue to work for a long time, so I can keep enjoying your acting!
Re: the topic (30 reasons we love the guy), I'd like to add that, in addition to the "plays well with others" mention about having good chemistry with others onscreen, it doesn't seem like any former coworker of his has anything bad to say about him. They're all quite complimentary of his work ethic and his interactions with others, and in an industry full of insecure, diva-ish people, that's incredibly refreshing to hear.
Posted by: Ali | February 29, 2008 1:32 PM
His sense of values. It's refreshing to come encounter an actor who consciously avoids the spotlight at the possible expense of "fast-tracking" his career. The people he chooses to spend time with who are not necessarily in "the business." The way he defers to his companion at interviews, even if it makes him appear unoriginal. His need for discretion regarding his private life. Answering a question as if it's the first time it was ever asked. Responding to a compliment as if he hadn't already heard it a million times before. The way he makes cast, crew and guests feel like members of his family. His commitment to always giving the best performance possible. I could go on for days.
Jensen, don't ever change! Happy, happy birthday to you!
Cheers,
M
Posted by: MCM | February 29, 2008 1:18 PM
6. His commitment to his art. When he didn't get the part of Clark Kent on Smallville, did he run away crying? Nope. And they liked him so much that they wrote a character for him. When he tried out for Sam Winchester and Jared turned out to be a better fit for that role, did he turn his back on the show? No way. He asked to audition for Dean, blew it out of the water, and we got the best two actors ever to play our favorite brothers. But I think this quote from Jensen sums up his take on acting and his career: "I like the fast pace of it. It really forces you to become good at what you do, because if you're not, you're going to get left behind." And he certainly has not been left behind in any way, shape, or form. In fact, he's leading the pack.
Happy (almost) birthday, Jensen!
Posted by: Samantha | February 29, 2008 1:15 PM
Jensen rocks because he is a guy with a enormeus talent. And he doesn't act like it.
Jensen, happy happy birthday for your birthday from Germany.
I hope you have a great day with all your friends and your family and a lot of nice presents :D
The fandom says thank you very much for these past wonderful years and the great work you've done.

Posted by: Koko | February 29, 2008 1:14 PM
Jensen rocks because he appredicates the gifts people give him and wears them even two years after (like the watch Jared gave him for his birthday years ago!).
Posted by: Koichiko | February 29, 2008 1:11 PM
"The Tear-jerking"
Whether it's a gruff clearing of the throat to change the subject, a poignant look, or just one manly tear, Jensen can break your heart in a moment. He shows you what Dean is feeling, but makes you feel like you're the only one who accidentally caught a glimpse behind the steel curtain.
