This week, Jensen Ackles sat down for an interview with Seth Meyers to promote Season 3 of “The Boys.” During his “Late Night” appearance, Ackles opened up about playing Soldier Boy on the show, and even revealed his love for the character of Dean Winchester on “Supernatural,” per Entertainment Weekly. Of course, Meyers also reminded the actor of the fact that he previously starred on the NBC soap opera “Days of Our Lives” for three years during the early days of his career, which sent Ackles into laughter.
The talk show host asked Ackles if he ever got recognized for playing the character of Eric Brady, who had a steamy relationship with Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker). Ackles revealed that he almost never got recognized for his “Days of Our Lives” role, but that it did surprise him when it happened recently during a flight. Ackles told Meyers that a flight attendant was giving him a look on the plane, and then finally realized that he used to be on “Days of Our Lives.” Ackles revealed that he was surprised that the fan remembered him for his soap opera days, and was immediately met with questions about the sudser and had to “go through the files of the brain” in order to “come up with some stories” about his time on the show. Although, the actor did admit that it was nice to be asked about his role of Eric Brady after years of answering questions about “Supernatural.”
