Recently listed as one of E! Online's "Sizzlin' 16 of 2004" and YM magazine's "Hottest Guys of 2003," Jensen Ackles is a young actor on the rise. Ackles will next be seen this fall as Jason Teague, love interest to Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) in The WB's Smallville.

Ackles will make his big screen debut later this year in Sony Pictures' Devour, opposite Dominique Swain and Shannon Sossymon. The film was directed by David Winkler.

Ackles was most recently seen on Dawson's Creek in a recurring role and on Dark Angel as a series regular. His additional work in television includes co-starring in the mini-series Blonde, opposite Poppy Montgomery and Patrick Dempsey.

In 1997, he began his acting career with much critical acclaim when he joined the cast of Days of Our Lives. In addition to three Emmy nominations (1998, 1999 and 2000), he won the Soap Opera Digest Award for Best Male Newcomer in 1998.

Ackles was born in Dallas and was raised in Richardson, Texas. He now resides in Los Angeles.

Romancing gorgeous girls such as Kristin Kreuk would make most guys nervous, not Jensen Ackles. As Jason Teague on Smallville, Ackles is fully prepared to go the distance. The only problem? This former Days Of Our Lives star, is not quite sure if his part in Lana's life is for better or...for worse. "Right now, he's got good intentions, but there's a chance that could change. We just don't know yet where they are going to take this guy."

My character is: "Lana's new love...They had a summer romance in Paris and now's he's come to Smallville to be with her."

To prepare for this role, I: "Asked the producers to send me the last three seasons of Smallville. I started watching them and pretty soon my buddies were watching too. Now everybody is obsessed and they are constantly calling me to find out when they can get the next tape."

My first big taste of The WB: "Was when I did Dawson's. I've pretty much been able to work in television since the beginning of my [career]. I've been fortunate. I moved to Los Angeles [from Dallas, TX] right out of high school. My folks gave me six months to make it. I thought that was fair. Obviously, I lasted a lot longer than that."

I'm not jaded: "[Smallville] is probably the fifth series that I've worked on and it still holds the same awe inspiring power that my very first job did."
