Misha Collins was born Misha Dmitri Tippens Krushnic on August 20, 1974. He grew up in Massachusetts. After attending the Greenfield Center School, Misha graduated from Northfield Mount Hermon in 1992. In the following year, he pursued a wide variety of interests, including a job at NPR headquarters, a White House internship, construction work, and an EMT certification course. He then went on to the University of Chicago where he studied social theory. After college, Misha moved to Washington, DC with his girlfriend Vicky (now his wife) and started an educational software company.

Then, on a lark, Misha decided to take an acting class, and soon found himself in the midst of a career change. He got a call for a role in Liberty Heights (directed by Barry Levinson), and then landed a part in Girl, Interrupted. He moved to Los Angeles soon thereafter, and now has a substantial list of acting credits to his name (he now goes by Misha Collins), including roles on “24”, “ER”, “CSI”, “Monk”, “Charmed” and “NYPD Blue”.

Having traveled in Russia and mastered the accent, Misha has been called on several times to play Russian characters in television series—most notably the villainous assassin, Alexis Drazen, on 24. He has also appeared in seven independent feature films to date.

Misha says, “All the stereotypes you hear about Hollywood are true, but there is also so much that is great about this place. There are a lot of smart and talented people here.”

He also says, “My years at the Center School are part of what gave me the gumption to pursue a career in the arts.”

Misha can currently be seen on the hit TV series Supernatural in which he plays an angel of the lord named Castiel.

A fanlisting is simply an online listing of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are) - they are just a place where you can have your name listed along with other fans of the same subject. TheFanlistings.org is the original (but not only) web directory for fanlistings, dedicated to uniting fans across the globe.
