He grew up in Texas and came to fame in the early 2000s after appearing on the television series “Gilmore Girls” as well as in several Hollywood films, including “New York Minute” and “House of Wax.” Padalecki plays Sam Winchester on the CW television series “Supernatural.”

Padalecki’s acting career is long and varied. In 2000, he was cast as Dean Forester on the television series “Gilmore Girls,” he appeared in the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen comedy “New York Minute” as Trey Lipton, and he starred in the horror film “House of Wax.” and in the “Friday the 13th” (2009) remake. Padalecki is most recognized for his work as Sam Winchester on the WB series, “Supernatural” where he appears opposite Jensen Ackles.

In March 2015, Padalecki launched his “Always Keep Fighting” campaign through Represent.com.
