All 9 Roles Misha Collins Played On Supernatural, Ranked From Worst To Best
Misha Collins is best known for his role as the angel Castiel on the long-running fantasy drama “Supernatural.” However, throughout the series’ impressive 15-season run, Collins took on several other roles that showcased his range and versatility as an actor. Here are all nine roles that Misha Collins played on “Supernatural,” ranked from worst to best.
9.Freedom Master (Episode: “The French Mistake”) – In a meta twist, Misha plays a fictionalized version of himself from an alternative reality where Supernatural is just a show. While it’s an amusing performance, it lacks the depth of his other characters.
8.Leviathan Castiel (Season 7) – After Castiel absorbs the Leviathans, his body becomes host to these ancient creatures. Although imposing, this version of Castiel is more of a plot device than a fully realized character.
7.Future Castiel (Episode: “The End”) – In this grim version of the future, we meet a fallen, human version of Castiel who has given up the fight. His hedonistic adaptation to human life is both sad and comically endearing.
6.Jimmy Novak (Various Episodes) – Jimmy is Castiel’s human vessel, whose personal story tugged at heartstrings with its themes of faith and sacrifice.
5.Misha Collins (Episode: “The French Mistake”) – As himself in “The French Mistake,” Misha amplifies his real-life personality traits for comedic effect and showcases his willingness to poke fun at himself.
4.Lucifer/Morning Star (Seasons 11-12) – When Lucifer takes over Castiel’s body, Collins turns in a deliciously malevolent performance that captures the charm and sinister aspects of the Devil.
3.The Cosmic Entity (Episode: “Byzantium”) – This powerful being that controls The Empty allowed Misha to shift from his usual persona into something eerie and otherworldly.
2.Castiel (Various Episodes) – The trenchcoat-wearing angel of Thursday who fans came to love over countless episodes; compassionate, relentless in his pursuit of justice, and often hilariously out of touch with human culture.
1.God Castiel (Season 7) – After absorbing the souls from Purgatory, Castiel declares himself God. Collins portrayed this corrupted version of Castiel with intensity and hubris, marking one of his most compelling performances on the show.
Ranking Collins’ performances highlights how he managed to add layers and nuances to each character he portrayed in “Supernatural,” solidifying him as one of the show’s standout actors.
