'Countdown' Jensen Ackles heaps praise on co star Eric Dane

Jensen Ackles has heaped praise on Eric Dane for his leadership skill.

The duo star in Countdown, which follows an LAPD detective as he investigates a mystery murder case that uncovers a sinister plot to harm millions.

In the latest interview with People, the Supernatural actor opened up about his experience of filming with the co-star.

"He has such a command of scenes and the set just in his stillness and how just his quiet leadership, and it's something he brings from off set too,” he lauded.

"There's just a quiet leadership to him that I truly learned from. So to get to mix it up with them on screen, I had to bring it,” he said. “I mean, he does that when the cameras aren't rolling."

Showing gratitude for being the part of  series, Ackles continued, "It always feels great to be on set. It's great to be employed. I love what I give. I'm going to keep doing it."

Meanwhile, the 47-year-old actor discussed that his daughter Justice Jay, whom he shares with his wife Danneel, is 'fired up' to see him in the action crime series.

Before concluding, Jensen Ackles told the outlet, "I do think my oldest is old enough to watch this, so she's fired up to see it. There's not a lot that they can watch yet. She (Justice) hasn't really gotten to see her dad in action. And in this one, I'll be in action.

Countdown is scheduled to be released on June 25, 2025.
