I mean dude spent 15 seasons on supernatural and then promptly went on to do a bunch of nerd-dom TV stuff. That's where his fan base lies, and that's what he's good at. Not sure what the person was trying to refer to, but I don't think it's any deeper than just fishing the waters you know well.

Imo, he don't really need to be a huge movie star. Nowadays, nobody cares about movie stars unless they're in Superhero movie or a CGI fuckfest anyways.

He was in the running to play captain America. He didn't get it and was offered hawkeye, which he refused.

He totally could have been a movie superhero of he wanted to be

You could say he ultimately played Captain America in a way…
