Jensen Ackles revealed that he had a "horrible" time working with Jessica Alba on the 2000 series "Dark Angel." The "Supernatural" actor was brought in as a series regular on the show for its second season, which ended up being its last. Alba played a genetically enhanced super-soldier and assassin who escapes her handler and tries to uncover the secrets of her past in a near-future, somewhat apocalyptic version of America. Speaking to Michael Rosenbaum on his "Inside You" podcast earlier this week, Ackles pulled no punches in describing the negative experience he had working with Alba.
However, he stopped short of saying she was not a good person or unprofessional. "Horrible," Ackles said when asked what it was like to work with her on the show. "I'm not kidding.
I've told this to her face." Jensen Ackles worked with Jessica Alba on the 2000 series "Dark Angel." (Valerie Macon/Getty Images) He added: "I love Jess, which I know kind of contradicts what I've just said... She was under an immense amount of pressure on that show.
She was young, she was in a relationship with [costar Michael Weatherly], and that was rocky and causing some undue stress, I believe, on set." More than two decades later, Ackles says he understands why Alba wasn’t necessarily warm to him when they first started working together. "I was the new, fresh face on the set who wasn't really there in season one," he explained. "I came in for one episode, but then they wrote me in as a series regular for season two.
