“The Winchesters” star Meg Donnelly, who plays Mary Cambell in The CW’s prequel to “Supernatural,” prepped for the role with the same intensity it takes to fight monsters: There were Season 1 binges of the original series, stunt training and even self-taught Latin classes. But the Disney actress also credits Jensen Ackles, who portrayed her future son Dean Winchester for 15 years and serves as the spinoff’s narrator, for getting acquainted with the fantasy universe.
“Jensen on set was so helpful,” Donnelly told TheWrap. “He was there every day on the pilot, and he would give me so much advice — all of us. Little things like when I’m standing next to Drake, since he knew the height difference with Dean and Sam, he’d be like, ‘Just so you know, don’t sink into your hip when you’re standing next to Drake, like always stand tall, so you look taller next to him.
