Supernatural Convention: Gabriel Tigerman on Andy, Kripke, Married Life and More!

Hey, everyone. I'm here at the Supernatural con, an already things are awesome! We just talked to Gabriel Tigerman, who played Andy, and he's even more of a sweetheart than we imagined. Too bad he just got married!

Gabriel had the crowd eating out of his hand as he talked about his experience playing Andy. He bounced all over the place, jumping from his love for the TV show Dexter to his shock that some of the fans thought Andy used his mind powers to force women in to bed with him. He might have used his mind mojo to impress a girl, he said, but Andy was far too good a guy to do anything beyond that.

Other highlights:

  • Gabriel was sad to learn that he was no longer the only non-Winchester to drive the Metallicar. "Did Bobby trick anyone with his min to drive it?" he asked. Nope - but he id use the car to rod-haul and kill a ghost. "That's pretty good," he admitted. "But I was first!"
  • Gabriel was asked about a "discussion" he ha with Kripke after he found out Andy was doomed. "It was less discussion than me pleading for Andy's life, and promising countless fan complaints, letters full of tears." Gabriel sighed. "He ignored that."
  • He holds out hope that Andy can come back -- and he's not the only one! The driver who took him to set the day Andy died was quite depressed about the news. After about five minute, he perked up an asked "Did they burn your body and salt your bones?" he asked. Nope, Gabriel replied. "Oh, then you're good!" the driver replied. "You can come back as a demon or any number of things." Here's hoping!
  • Gabriel didn't get pranked on set much (short of being shown horrific picture's on the guys' camera phone right before he was supposed to shoot an emotional scene), but he remembers walking across the set and hearing Jensen yell "God dammit" from his trailer -- proof that Jared had gotten him again.
  • One of his favorite scenes from his first episode was when Dean was forced to tell the truth. But the high point? That would be driving the Metallicar, or course! Even that was fraught with peril -- when he got in the car, he drove off very, very slowly -- his didn't want to endanger the car!
  • Gabriel had auditioned for the pat of the lovelorn grad student who raised a zombie girlfriend in Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things. We can't help but thing that Andy was a much better part!
  • Going to the set and share a back seat with Jared's dogs did not go well -- the dogs got Gabriel's coffee!

There's plenty more to come. Keep checking back for more coverage from the con!

To the CW Source...I'm glad you're reporting from the con and everything but can you do us a favor?

Whoever is writing/typing the summaries and even the other short articles on the Source...could you please proof-read your articles...maybe, check your grammar and spelling?

Thanks...it would be awesome. Also, thank you for reporting (and hopefully showing) bits about the con.

I think it is so cool that even the DRIVER's get invested in the details of the show and the guest actors!

Gabriel sounds like a sweetheart.

How awesome is it that the freaking drivers for the show know the lore for it?

Miss Andy like burning. He's gotta come back as something. Cherub maybe? XD
