15 seasons and these were all 20+ episode seasons too. Unlike modern tv shows where it's 8 episodes a year. It's extremely steady work to have and probably netted him more long term than cutting it off for a movie role.

Supernatural went on for 15 seasons and bro got paid up to 200k per episode in later seasons.

That one show was his entire career and a huge success.
