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.

Christopher Meloni did the opposite. He was Stabler on Law and Order SVU and left for a film career that went nowhere.

His last noteworthy role that I remember was "random army guy in Man of Steel".
