The SPNFamily embraced actor Ty Olsson (the reluctant vampire Benny on SPN) after his first con appearance in Las Vegas earlier this year, so we were excited to sit down and chat with him at the next Creation con in New Jersey a few weeks ago. Ty isn’t afraid to be both passionate and vulnerable onstage as well as onscreen, something that fans can relate to – after all, being a fan is all about passion, yet all that passion also makes you vulnerable (every time one fan accuses another of ‘doing fandom wrong’ or a non-fan raises their eyebrows and silently accuses you of being batshit crazy or at the very least a stalker – or when the Show you love hands you an episode like Supernatural’s recent finale and it leaves you sobbing for days. My vulnerability, let me show you.)

Kim Rhodes – On Fans, Joking with Jared and Why Jensen is a Great Director


We here at Fangasm have been very busy – which we’ll have more to say about very soon. But for the moment, that’s our lame excuse for the delay in posting one of the most enjoyable interviews we’ve ever done – with Supernatural’s own Sheriff Jody Mills, actress (and fabulous writer) Kim Rhodes. We joined Kim for lunch at the Nashville convention, shortly after she started her successful blog and just after her last episode (“Time After Time”) aired. Kim had also recently become active on Twitter, quickly amassing a healthy following of SPN fans and delighting them with her sense of humor and willingness to be real.

Conning With Richard, Matt and Chad: Toronto and Chicago

Matt Cohen in Toronto

Greetings from Chilly Chicago! So far enjoyed an interesting Q&A from Rick Worthy, who claims not to wear boxers OR briefs (….) and had a lovely lunch with Chad Lindberg. When we talked to Matt Cohen and Richard Speight in Toronto two weeks ago, they were both lamenting the fact that Chad wasn’t there to join them for karaoke. Well, the good news is — he will be joining them tonight. Crowd surfing, anyone??

We had the chance to sit down with Matt Cohen at the Nashville Con earlier this month, and once again had a thoroughly enjoyable chat. Matt (along with Misha Collins and Chad Lindberg) had just returned from the Rising Con in Brazil, where he had a great time with fans — but endured a few culinary challenges.
