It’s rare to catch “Supernatural” star Misha Collins in a serious moment, but when we had the chance to sit down with him at the recent Creation Entertainment Salute to “Supernatural,” we were expecting hijinks. After all, Collins has an… interesting history with Zap2it.

Sure enough, Collins requested that he do the interview with occasional co-star Rob Benedict sitting in his lap (a suggestion that Benedict quickly vetoed). Despite his mischievous nature, Collins did manage to focus his attention on his passion project, a charity called Random Acts, which encourages random acts of kindness worldwide.

Jared Padalecki confirmed at VanCon that Misha and his wife are expecting their first child next month! On behalf of everyone here at Misha-Collins.net, I would like to congratulate them and wish them all the best!

Thanks to Blazule at Misha Collins Czech Fansite for letting me know the wonderful news.

You may know Misha Collins from his recent stint on Syfy’s “Stonehenge Apocalypse.” You certainly know him from his recurring role on CW’s Supernatural, where he plays the angel Castiel. But what you may not know is that he’s a marathon runner, and he’s putting his efforts into coordinating fandom’s energy into making the world a better place, one random act of kindness at a time.

It’s just the sort of subtle plan you’d expect from an angel.

What was the initial inspiration that motivated you to plan The Random Act charity?

I don’t know if I can pinpoint a specific instance. It’s something that sort of evolved over time. I go to Supernatural conventions, where the fans convene, and I see people putting in so much time and energy — people who give me incredible portraits of my character on the show, Castiel, painted in oils on a canvas that’s four feet wide and six feet tall; intricate sculptures that they make; things like that. And then, of course, online there are a million websites with very active forums and communities. And it seemed to me that it would be a travesty not to harness some of that creative energy and time that people are putting in on these efforts towards maybe a slightly more benevolent use.

So I think just seeing all of that, and seeing how enthusiastic my Twitter followers were, it just seemed like it was a good idea.

At Random Acts, it’s our mission to conquer the world one random act of kindness at a time.
