Mark Sheppard's Panel!

Just got back from the AMAZING MR. CROWLEY'S (AKA MARK SHEPPARD'S) panel at Supernatural Chicon!  He is definitely one of the FUNNIEST actors here!  Love him and his character!  Several questions were asked and the atmosphere was fun and light.  His harsh, witty comebacks are always a pleasure, but he has a caring side beneath.  When one "occelator" (I'll explain later lol ;)) started crying, he came over and gave her a hug.  He is patient with his family.  That's how he referred to us, his family.  He, like I, is amazed at the power behind this fandom.  WE.CAN.DO.ANYTHING!  We are SO different from every other fandom out there, we move mountains together!

As for the "ocelator" part, Mr. Sheppard hates the term "fan" or "fanatic", so Rob Benedict said he should call us ocelators!  I think it'll stick.

Some funny bits from his panel include:

1) Man : "So, I saw the scene in Supernatural where you were holding a hamster in the backseat.  I was wondering, if in any of the takes, the hamster ever bit you?"

Mark: "Are you sure you're not talking about some type of odd porno?"


2) Girl: "I was wondering what it was like when they made you act like a dog?"

Mark:  "A dog?  Are you sure that was me?  Have you ever seen the show?"

3) Girl: "My brother and sister wanted me to say hi to you, but my question is..."

Mark: "Woah, so you use your family to get up here and ask a question, then it's like oh sorry, enough about them, let's talk about me!"

4) Woman: "I was wondering who, other than your wife, was your celebrity crush?"

Mark : "My wife's not a celebrity."

Woman; "She is to me."

Mark: "So who's my crush?......Well, my wife is my crush.  I can tell you who my man crush is.  Matt Bomer.  Jensen knows him and he's like 'Yeah, he's good looking."

5) Man : "Are you anything like your character, Crowley?"

Mark: "Yes, I've killed thousands of people!" -HEAVY sarcasm

Side note/Commentary:  During number 4, wow....The way Mark smiled when he was talking about his wife was absolutely filled with LOVE!  <3  The funny part came, when he was talking about what Jensen said.  He made Jensen's voice in to an impression of more of a Patrick Walker type!  I called out that his man crush was Misha, to which the entire audience laughed!  That was pretty great :)  I don't make big groups of people laugh often, let alone in front of an awesome actor!


All moments were funnier in person, of course, and I did not have my notepad on me at the time, so these are probably paraphrased, but I you get the gist!


I might not have gotten to ask a question, I was the third person in line by the time his panel ended, but Mark's panel is NEVER a disappointment!  Love his wit, can't say that enough!  He is SO much like Crowley in that respect!


I'll post more about yesterday and about the concert and Misha's panel later!  Now, to finish working on a sign for my friend Jenny's Jared op tomorrow!
