Happy 30th Birthday, Jensen Ackles!

A CW Source favorite is reaching a milestone. Jensen Ackles, who plays the inimitable Dean Winchester on Supernatural, is turning the big 3-0 on Saturday, March 1. Happy birthday, Jensen!

Jensen Ackles

We know that birthdays that end in 0 can seem a little intimidating -- and we're sure prank-loving whippersnapper Jared Padalecki will have fun rubbing in Jensen's supposedly aged status. But take heart, Jensen: The old-timers here at CW Source Central say that 30 was their favorite birthday so far, and we'll love you no matter how old you get.

In fact, we're going to count the ways we love Jensen, and we want you, the CW Source faithful, to help! We're putting together a list of the top 30 reasons Jensen rocks. We'll start it off with our reasons, and we want you to add your own. Then we'll pick the top reasons and put together a video for the site.

So check out the beginnings of our list, and then add your own reason in the comments! Plus, feel free to wish our boy a happy 30th birthday!

30 reasons Jensen rocks

1. The Acting
Sure, Jensen has plenty of surface charms to recommend him (and trust us, we'll get to those...) but what really makes him exceptional is his blazing talent. We'd watch him in anything (and yes, we've seen Devour). He can convey more with a change of expression, a dimming of the eyes, a shift in the tone of his voice, than other actors his age can get across with pages and pages of script. We have no idea why Jensen isn't a major movie star -- he's got more talent than half the guys his age on the big screen today.

2. The Funny
Again, we love that Jensen is so much more than just a pretty face -- and he's more than willing to make that face look ridiculous to make a scene laugh-out-loud funny. Just think of him stuffing his cheeks with caramels in Tall Tales, or letting a piece of meat dangle from his mouth in Hollywood Babylon. And then there's all his dryly funny line readings, fabulous double takes, and countless Deanisms that make watching Supernatural such a side-splitting experience -- even when sides are literally being split with axes and knives.

3. The Realness
We love watching Jensen at conventions or giving interviews. Why? Because he's such a nice, regular guy who seems shocked by all the attention. He's unfailingly polite, more than willing to make fun of himself, and seems like he'd be a fun guy to hang out with. If only all of our favorite stars were this down-to-earth!

4. The Chemistry
Jensen Ackles plays well with others. Sure, he does a mean soliloquy, but he really shines when he's interacting with other actors. What makes Supernatural so fabulous is the relationships -- the show wouldn't be the same without the palpable bond between Sam and Dean. The brotherly chemistry he shares with Jared Padalecki is the stuff of legend, but you see it with just about everyone he shares the screen with, from Jefferey Dean Morgan to Fredric Lehne to Samantha Ferris to random extras. Heck, we here at CW Source Central joke that the man oozes enough chemistry that even the furniture acts better when he's in the room.

5. The Hominah-Hominah-Hominah
Dear god, but this man is gorgeous. It's obvious any time you look at him. He can rock a blue mohawk, make layers look good, and single-handedly revive the career of Asia just by rockin' out to one of their songs. And every once in a while, we'll see a shot of him that emphasizes his stunning looks so much that we nearly pass out from the pretty. Yowza.

There's the start of our list -- what would you add? Give us your contribution to our top 30 list, and leave your birthday wishes for Jensen in the comments!

Jensen,我真得很喜欢你,喜欢你的眼睛,你的腼腆,甚至是你撅着嘴的样子。你仿佛能演出人物的灵魂。

The main thing I have to say is that this boy is B-E-A-U-TIFUL!!! I think that he is the best-looking-funniest-best-acting-man on the big screen...I'm still sad about his deal in Supernatural...his soul for Sammy's revivedness...although he would be even hotter as a demon...even more badass than he aleady is...I likey!!!..HAPPY WAYY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

Happy birthday,Jensen.

Anyway,wish you all the best.we'll love you,and support you forever:>
(I'm sorry for my poor english,but I think it's understandable:>)

Happy Belated Birthday and hope you have many more.

Jensen rocks because he is a down to earth guy who makes you feel like you are his long time friend even though you just met. Plus he is an awesome actor, genuine, and very easy on the eyes. He makes Dean come to life every time I watch Supernatural and that is just amazing. I wish TIH would make a DVD so that the fans can buy it and watch Jensen in a mohawk and kilt. lol

I don't think that my message will be read by our 30th guy. :D happy birthday anyway!! 30 years and all your teeth :D!! I m so stupid!! I wanna tell U that U R doing a really good work and also sorry for y bad english. I dont know if I made mistakes, but I think it is R-E-A-D-A-B-L-E. ;)

Jensen,
I hope you had the best birthday ever and don't worry I am turning 20 so you are only 10 years older than I am. Hey we can still get married right!(LOL) You have to be the most kind, hottest guy I have ever seen that is not in love with himself. Thanks for all the great shows sexy!
Love,
Becky

The pleasantness
The main reason why I like Jensen Ackles is that he seems to be a very nice person, with great humour and modesty. Anyone can see that he is a talented actor but I wonder if he realizes what a likeable and well-mannered man he also seems to be. Whether in interviews, TV programs or conventions’ videos, he always appears composed, open-minded and charming. I appreciate the fact that he is sarcastic without being nasty, funny in a very casual way and down-to-earth even though he is engaged in a job that is prone to put people on a pedestal. The people who work with him all seem to appreciate him, the fans who encountered him are all delighted and you just have to watch the gag reels of Supernatural to see that he must really be a pleasant person. It is very agreeable and refreshing to see people like him.

So, Mr Ackles, thank you for making Dean so appealing.
I hope that you had a great birthday and I wish you the very best of luck in whatever you do.

Yo no hablo ingles, pero con ayuda de los traductores leo mucho sobre este maravillo actor, que no logro entender como no esta en el cine, por que tiene más talento y te hace sentir más que muchas de las estrellitas de Hoollywood que hay por nuestras pantallas ahora mismo, en cuanto a las entrevistas personales que le he leido, decir que me maravilla que alguien que disfruta de tanta fama pueda ser tan modesto y buena gente como él parece. Le deseo un FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS, (que treinta es la mejor etapa de la vida de los jovenes), junto a los suyos. Happy bhirthday JENSEN ACKLES. Bombón!!!

Em. Did I miss the video you guys wanted to make of this? I'd love to see it!!


Dear Jensen ackles..

There's something about you that makes you so special and wonderfull to watch. And it's nothing to do with appereance. I hope you keep on the supernatural show, be in any kind of movies, so I can always watching you because Iam sure I'll never get bored...
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY"
from someone who appreciate you so much

Jensen ackles is a hollywood dictionary for "just not another a pretty face"

30 is a big#! but hey look on the brightside, at least you're not wrinkly (LOL). also, i totally agree with that comment above mine, i'm begging you, WORK WITH jOHNNY DEPP!!!! happy b-day!

Warm wishes from Malaysia….

Happy 30th Birthday, Jensen. May GOD bless you.

Happy Belated Birthday Jensen! I hope you had a good birthday with your family and loved ones.

I hope that you have many birthdays in your honor,I love youuuuu<33

Happy birthday Jensen! (5 days late, but hey...at least it's not a month, right? LOL!) Enjoy the hell out of yourself, and remember this-age does not matter unless you're cheese. Or really good wine. :D

Best wishes from Nebraska!

I saw Devour, too...it wasn't THAT bad! And I agree with the person below me...the emotion practically oozes out of the screen-it's totally awesome. :)

The emotion.

The emotions he pulls out from not only himself but from me too on a weekly basis.
Because you can see that it's there, from the laughter and joking around to the true sadness and tears to being very good at being pissed off.
I feel what he feels and it's real to me. Not many can do that and Jensen does it constantly, and yes I have seen Devour.

Hope you had a wicked birthday Jensen, was there karaoke, I hope there was karaoke!?!
Lots of love from Sweden!

We have the same birthday! yay for pisces =) hope this year rocks out loud for you!

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY JENSEN! I wish you that in this year to come to be healthy, succesful, loved and that all your dreams may come true. You're my favorite actor. Hugs and kisses from your biggest fan in Romania, Oana

Honey, you are like wine. You get better with age.
Love.

Happy Birthday Jensen!!! I hope you have an awesome year, your my favorite actor :D

Happy Birthday Jens)wish you luck and love)

And a reson why i like Jens - you feel like he is your best friend when you watch him every episode of supernatural...its not just his acting talent..he brings his whole soul to what he does...with one word,one sentence or just a glimpse of his look...you know that everything will be ok no matter what)thats what i aprecciate in people)and jens surely has that..

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM A BELGIAN GIRL

The Attention to Detail

The furniture really does act better when Jensen Ackles is around because he interacts with it. Really good with props, even back in his "Dark Angel" days, he makes interesting actor's choices, from adjusting the rearview mirror on the Impala to tying his shoe. He uses whatever environment he is dropped into to avoid becoming a "talking head." Usually overlooked because of his outstanding acting abilities, this "stage business" really adds a lot to a scene. Happy Belated Birthday! I am looking forward to many more years of fine entertainment!

It looks like The CW gave Jensen a great birthday gift: Season 4 of Supernatural!!!

Jensen rocks because he seemed to so great person and everybody loves him!

Happy birthday handsome!
Keep up the great work!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENSEN ACKLES.i hope you more success in your acting,and I wish you all the best, and I hope for it all of your dreams came true in your life!
and keep your body healthy and then say no to drugs

i love you jensen you're the handsome,sexy,and cute man ever!

Happy belated birthday Jensen. You are the best thing about Supernatural and the main reason I keep watching.

Happy belated birthday Jensen.. your Indonesian fans LOVEEEE you so much :D

Happy Birthday Jensen!

May you have many years of happiness and fulfillment, and continue to be challenged by engaging roles. We wish all the best for you.

Happy Birthday from Russia Jensen!!!
The best wishes to you! And I have only one reason for lovin' Jensen - you're great with no doubt!:)

The Style

Not only does Jensen Ackles have the "I could go skinny dipping in your eyes effect" with his gorgeous looks, he also has style when it comes to fashion. Jensen is just one of those guys in no matter what he wears that will always look "Drop Dead Gorgeous"! From his form fitting bootcut jeans, to his gray fleece long-sleeve shirts, to the good old fashion wife-beater t’s, Jensen can pull it off without a hitch. His style is so laid back and relaxed that it gives him that boy next door effect (one really cute boy next door that is). As Mr. Ackles stated in the Official Jensen Ackles Newsletter: "Your Biggest Fashion Mistake is When You Try to Hard." So we give ackalades to you Jensen on your keen sense of Fashion.


I really want to say how amazing you are, Jensen. I am sorry that this "Happy Birthday!" is belated. I was on vacation, no computer access! AHHH. But know I was thinking about you and I hope that you, Jared, and your family had a wonderful, fun-filled day. You definitely deserve it. Oh, and I could never pick my favorite thing about you that I love. There are way too many!
God Bless!

Having never met the man but having taken in what his co-stars have all said about him more than enough endorsement of what a stand up guy he is... But what touched me the most was his love for his nephew... An Australian interview he told them he felt like the little guy was his... I've always had a soft spot for a man that loves kids...

Happy Birthday Jensen!!! I wish you were going to Eyecon! Think about it Dude… Florida in April… Enchanted castles and talking rodents… If nothing else you could dry out and goof around with Jared! LOL

Happy birthday to you
Jensen rocks!!!

A belated Happy Birthday from me. Love his work.

LOYALTY-if you are in his "inner circle", then he will stand by you, no matter what.

Happy Belated Birthday Jensen! I hope your day was full of peace, love and happiness. I know turning 30 may have an impact on the future years, but your only as old as you feel!!! I myself will be hitting the big 30 soon, but feel like I'm 21! So enjoy life as it comes. YOU ROCK!!!!!! Love always,
A big fan,
Donnita

Happy B-Day
Feliz Cumpleaños
We love u in Chile :D

Happy B-Day Big Boy!

I love how he is the older brother. He absolutely rox as Dean FREAKIN Winchester!!!!!

Jensen is such an amazing actor. I love how there is Jensen and there is Dean too. He makes Dean so real. I almost believe that there is a Dean Winchester :-)
Keep it up the good work oldman! :-)

Counting the ways:

I love the way he turns Dean Winchester into a living, breathing character that I find myself caring about. He makes us want to know what's going to happen next. He has developed Dean into a multi-faceted hero who is brave, kind, gentle, fierce, loyal, dedicated, dangerous, funny, lusty, respectful, scared, angry, focused, smart, and loving, and irreverant. He makes Dean into a guy who can find concentrated joy in a cheeseburger, passion in a pretty woman, humor in most things, and tenderness for the memories of his mother.

A few memorable things Ackles makes us watch with either a laugh or a heartwrench: 1. Brain freeze from too much ice-cream. 2. Hyperventilating about the car. 3. Burrowing his face into his mother's hand. 4. Telling Layla he'll pray for her. 5. His reaction when Sam tells him he prays every day. 6. His "I will kill you all" threat to the Benders. 7. His, "Please, Dad" line to John/YED in Season One. 8. The way he spills his guts against his will to Andy while sitting in the car. 9. The look of utter amazement and "You little s--t!" expression on his face when Missy Bender pins him to the wall with her knife (big strong Dean didn't properly evaluate his opponent, there!) 10. "Oh, God, please let that be a rifle." 11. He was afraid of Ellen, like any smart young man would be when dealing with a young lady's mother. 12. His reactions to Missouri -- big strong hero has to obey and submit to being bossed around, criticized, and whacked upside the head without any backtalk. 13. The "uh-oh, I'm in trouble" look on his face when Lisa turns on him after Ben whups up on Humphrey. 14. The unbeatable look of triumph on his face as he fires the Colt at YED. 15. And probably the best: that heartwrenching cry, "What am I supposed to do!" line delivered so superbly. Only a robot could fail to react to that.

He's a modern-day knight in shining armor whose armor isn't all that shiny because he's too busy to keep every spot polished up. Of course, like any knight, he keeps his steed well fed and brushed.

I also very much like the fact that neither he nor Jared Padalecki seem to be troublemakers or run afoul of the law. They both speak well of their families and their backgrounds. I think it's interesting and very nice that they both come from families where the parents are still together.

Happy Birthday Jensen!!!
We from Russia!
We love you !!!!!!

Jensen, Hello from GREECE!! May God continue to bless you with good health and fortune. Thank you for all your hard work. You look wonderful!!

Jensen rocks because of who he is in his heart! There are endless reasons why we love him and adore him, but it comes down to his Heart!

Jensen may this year be blessed and may you find the same happiness that you give us everyday! God bless you!

South African Fan! <3

The Fearlessness

Jensen is willing to try his hand at anything. And once he finds his groove he'll put all his energy and gut into what he's doing, to a point of pure fearlessness. He takes on positions and puts pure pride into everything he does (when other actors might consider such roles a blow to the pride). He never seemes to shy away from the bizzare or oddity that's asked of him, nothing seems to spook him away from what he wants to do. Everything from the bowl hair cut and kakhis in a thirty second appearance in Wishbone to the grown out, dyed and horrifyingly spiked mohawk and kilt in Ten Inch Hero! Of course we'll always love him best in his military cut and torn up jeans!

Happy Birthday Jensen, hope you got to go hom to Texas for home cooking and get to ride your horses for a few days!
Much Love
Mary T.

Happy beleted 30th birthday to a Pisces. JENSEN ACKLES!!!!!!

The Modesty - despite how talented, hardworking and gorgeous this man is, he NEVER seems full of himself. Always shy and modest and even slightly self-deprecating in his humour. It's so refreshing to see someone of young Hollywood nowadays who just looks to work hard and hasn't let anything get to his head!

Happy Birthday Jensen and best wishes!!!

The Style

I know I'm not the only fan to notice that Jensen has mad style. He is capable of pulling anything off and looking stunning doing so. From the fit-just-right suits to casual wear, this man rocks it all so well and with a smile that will make you melt.

Let me start by saying "Happy Birthday Jensen!" I believe you "Rock" because no matter what role I've seen you in over the past few years, you always manage to bring your roles to a new level. You have charisma and a charm that your fans love! Good job!

All the best,
L.A.Mackay

Happy Birthday Jensen hope you had a great day!

I think you are amazing keep up the good work Supernatural and Dean rock :-)

Happy Bday Jensen!

From Hungary!

LOVE!!!!
<3<3<3<3<3

Hy, i don't speak english, but my love for Jensen Ackles is so big, who i'am post here, but i will speak in portuguese,sorry. Oi jensen, acho muito dificil voce ler alguma coisa que nos estamos escrevendo aqui,ainda mais em portugues, mas eh que te adoramos tanto, que topamos fazer qualquer coisa por voce. Te acho, um excelente ator, reunindo varias caracteristicas que um ator de alto nivel deve reunir, voce emociona, diverte, passa confianca, realmente acreditamos em voce em todas as suas cenas. Parabens pelos seus 30 anos, agora passou a ser um balsaquiano hein, rsrsrs. TE DESEJO TODA A SORTE DO MUNDO, VARIOS PAPEIS EXCELENTES, E EH CLARO QUE CONTINUE NOS PRESENTEANDO TODAS AS SEMANAS COM EPISODIOS NOVOS DE SUPERNATURAL, POIS EU NAO SEI VIVER SEM ASSITIR VOCE INTERPRETANDO DEAN WHINCHESTER. PARABENS, Happy Birthday Jensen Ackles. Byyyy.

I'm from Argentina, and I'd like to wish Jensen a very happy birthdate. I think 30 is the magic number! And also, I'd love to see him in a big fat Hollywood movie! Happy year, Jensen.

I'm a little bit late... Anyway, I'm also a Polish fan and I'd like to join Maja's greetings. Jensen, you know you've got pretty strong and faithful group of fans in Poland? Hehe... we all love you, just becouse you're Jensen ;D :*

Happy B Jensen! I love you, youre the best actor and man in this world.

Youre my heart <333 Hope you read this, cause i love you a lot!

PS: Danneel? She look like a bitch, but maybe its just me... sorry xD

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEE YOOU!!!

He is down to earth. :) Brilliant actor. Sympahtetic. Good friend. Stunningly handsome. etc. Happy birthday!! :)

Happy, Happy Birthday Jensen!

The Commitment: I am talking about the way every episode of Supernatural, especially those few episodes that were not so stellar in terms of writing that he carried through with his dedication giving it his full 100 percent talent. His total immersion and dedication to the roles he has is what makes him a great actor willingly to get out of his comfort zone.
Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into the character Dean and Supernatural Jensen. It's the wonderful efforts of you and Jared that keeps people coming back to watch the Winchester brothers not the demons and ghouls.

I've never understood how people could get so attached to celebrities they didn't know until I started watching Supernatural. Jensen has an awfully endearing tendency to break my heart, a tendency which Jared is also picking up on since they've started working together, and they always put it back together again with sheer awesomeness.

The end of Dream a Little Dream of Me (trying not to be spoilery >.>) just confirmed what I've suspected for a while: this guy, and this show, OWN MY SOUL. Jensen, I hope you stick with Supernatural as long as you can, and that you get to do other fabulous things in the future, as well. I'll be doing my absolute best to see every movie you make (and I'm working on catching up on the old stuff!)

Much love and a very happy 30th birthday!! The age looks really good on you. :)

Jensen has more acting talent than many actors twice his age, and they've had longer to develop.

I'm surprised the film producers aren't clamouring for him, but I'm glad that we get to see his talent more often because he's on the small screen.

Missed his birthday for my reply but hope he considers 30 as the breakthrough age. I'm sure he'll be noticed more from now on
(by the producers I mean).

Happy belated Birthday Jensen. I hope you had a nice day with your family and friends.
As for the 30 reasons: I think it's a wonderful idea. I think we all love Jensen for who he is and I hope he will stay that way and not change.

Other than that I think that nothing is left to say that the others haven't said.
I wish Jensen the best for his future.

Hope your day was awesome, Jensen, and that you got to spend it with those you love and who love you.

One thing I admire about Jensen is that, even when he's uncomfortable with something, i.e., appearing at conventions, he still does it and gives it his all. He shows his gratitude and appreciation to his fans even though he is not completely at ease in the situation. I could go on and list many other admirable qualities, but I'd only be stating the obvious. Thanks, Jensen, for showing us you love us, too. Good luck in all that you pursue, may God richly bless you and bestow upon you all that you desire.

I love the facts that:
He read the dictionary
He talks to plants

Happy birthday Jensen, even if you are special!

I would like to wish you a happy birthday and that there are waaaay more than 30 reasons for loving jensen.

happy birthday again, and i hope all of his wishes come true, because i am a loyal supernatural fan. i intially began watching because of jensen and i was never disappointed. not one episode was ever boring. jensen ackles has an amazing talent and i sincerely wish the best for him.

Happy birthday!!

His Soulful Singing.

He's not only an incredibly gifted actor (and you have to be to not only act in soaps and dramas, but to do it with such genuine feeling and depth), and one of the most gorgeous men I've ever seen (his smile and eyes take my breath away).
When I first watched a video of him singing 'Crazy Love' my heart sung. The soul he shows in his voice, speaking and singing is a beautiful thing.

Happy Birthday Jensen! I pray it's a blessed one.

Happy Birthday Jensen you rock. Go Winchesters!

happy birthday Jensen.I am a chinese poor in english.All the wishes are writng in chinese ,soory!
美人啊,祝你生日快乐
年年有今日,岁岁有今朝
有机会来中国吧!保证收视破千万!

Happy Birthday Jensen! You're not turning 30, you're turning 20-10. ;D

Happy birthay Jensen,
From latin America we wish you the best of the days, you are such a wonderful actor and very talented, we love your work so much, you made us happy every week.... 30 reasons are not enough for you...
Congratulations

Jensen regularly gives performances worthy of an Emmy in his role as Dean Winchester and yet he’s humble about both his talent, and his obvious good looks. I love that he has such a trusting working relationship with Jared that if either man believes that the other has a better performance in him on set, or is sleepwalking through a scene both men care enough and are honest enough to let the other know.

And on a purely shallow note, Jensen looks absolutely adorable when he wears his glasses!

Happy birthday from Australia Jensen, and I hope that whatever future acting roles that come your way are worthy of your talent.

Happy brithday to you Jensen from Shanghai!
Wish you will perform in some big movie as the main actor in the future!!!
Love you 4ever!

Lovely reason's thus far!

I'd add I love him because he brings Dean to life every week :D


HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jensen!

Happy B-day Jensen you are awesome.Thanks for making my thursdays wonderful.

Definitely agree with all the reasons listed above. He is an amzingly versatile actor and, in Dean, he has brought one of, if not, THE BEST TV character ever, to life. The combination of strength, passion, humour and heartwrenching vulnerability leave me breathless. I admire Jensen's strong work ethic and the care and dedication he brings to his craft. Also the respect he shows to the people around him whether it be at work or in public, and the kindness and generosity to his fans. Meeting him briefly while he was down here in Australia recently, was a definite highlight. The fact that he stopped to speak to me and have a couple of photos taken, even though it was getting late and he was probably a little tired meant a lot to me. Thank you Jensen you are a gentleman, and your time was most appreciated.
Lastly his modesty is refreshing, he may be a little taken aback by the passion of our Birthday greetings and Reasons for admiring him, but don't be Jensen you deserve every kind word, every accolade. Cheers, hope you had a great day, sorry this particular greeting is late, but hope you got the printed Birthday Greetings from our Channel 10 representative while you were down here. Take care and come back for a visit soon! love Raelynne x

Happy birthday, Jensen! I hope this year is the best one yet! *hugs*

Happy b-day Jensen :)

Here's to your day, and many more to come.

Cheers, Ida (Norway)

So many things have already been said that I hesitate to comment myself. Yet, how can I not....when I first started watching Supernatural during the first season I will admit although I loved the character, I hadn't yet been hit with the Dean lightning-bolt of greatness, it snuck up on me as I watched him creat depth out of the character of Dean Winchester. Cocky-one lined womanizer became the unselfish, giving, but never asking with a side order of meloncoly. His blazing loyality to his family and all the self sacrafice, covered over by gthe snarky joking brother we all love.
Jensen's performance has become flawless has me laughing, then in tears....what a bittersweet place I find in his eyes. The more I learn about the real man behind the character the more I love him, and yet nothing I say could really express how I feel about him...about the show. They helped me find something I'd lost long ago, a part of my self identady I thought was lost...my inspiration to write. So Jensen thats why you are so great because you inspire us to become better people.
Happy birth day
Your forever inspired fan. Lacey Woolf

Happy Birthday dear Jensen from ARGENTINA!!!
All the best for you, one of the most charming, gorgeous and overtalented actor in the world. I thank god for knowing you thru the screen, and I hope on day meet you only for few minutes and lookig deeply at your eyes. Everytime I've saw your work was a kind plasure not only because the emotional impact received but for the touch felt in my heart. I wish you tons of good wishes, have a great day, and do not forget that southwards to Brazil exist the most beautiful country in the world: Argentina, waiting for you with amazing horses, impressive landscapes, mutlietnical traditions, tango dancing (of course!) and all of love.
Loving you

First of all : Happy birthday to you Jensen !
Hope you will have a terrific day with all your friends and family and that you won't be able to remember it tomorrow, or only through pictures (or videos) and this terrible hang-over (that makes you regret all this cocktails!)

Than, to add something to the 30 reasons why Jensen rocks - a lot of good reasons have been listed already - but I should say :
7 - The risks in his career :
From a part in a little indy movie (TenInchHero) to a major role on stage (A few good men) Jensen has always shown that he was able to take risk and do things totally different to express his talent.
While a lot of actors enjoy their time out during their break, Jensen grabs the opportunity to do something different !
And that's a lot..

So keep on the good work

PS : you don't look like 3/0 :-)

From Paris with love

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENSEN!!! The big 3-0 hu, it's just a number, it doesn't mean anything. You're still awesome and you're looking better than ever. You are the first Actor I’ve seen that makes every thing look great. Not just because of your stunning looks, but your AMAZING Acting!! There could be a horrible scene going on and then you would show up and balance it out. You can portray almost every emotion perfectly! I have to admit when ever you cry on Supernatural I feel like giving you a big hug because your soOo GOOD!!
I wish you all the happiness in the world and I hope your birthday is a memorable one.
The best says are yet to come ;) You ROCK!!!

Happy Birthday!

I love how he can just jump into a character. He brings realness to a role even though it's something you don't see anyone ever doing, you can sit and think that's what it would look like if someone were really like that.

"What's in the box!" or "but you didn't shoot the deputy" comes to mind

not to mention he's a master at controlling his facial expressions

Happy Birthday Jensen! Have a fantabulous Birthday!

A very happy birthday to you Jensen! You're an absolutely incredible actor, an extremely kind and selfless person...the list goes on. And just for the record, you're the most gorgeous man I've ever seen!<3 Not to mention that you're like "fine wine"; you just get better and better with age. Supernatural is absolutely my most favorite show to watch, and seeing you crack off "deanisms" and saving lives with Sammy is my therapy and joy of the week! Have a happy, happy birthday! We fans love you soooo much!

Happy 30th Jensen!!!!! You're absolutely amazing and beautiful on both the outside and inside and you'll always be great no matter what age you are! I think that reasons why Jensen rocks are:

The Connection:

When you're watching Jensen, it's like you're the one in the scene and when he says something you believe he's saying it to you. No matter the level of knowledge you have of him, it always seems like you know him when you see him both in invterviews and on screen. When he cries, you feel it and you cry with him, when he laughs, you can't help but laugh as well because it's like your own personal joke, and when he talks, you feel like your standing right beside him, both ready to enter into danger or otherwise!

We love you Jensen!!!

What impresses me about his acting is the way his eyes communicate everything without having to open his mouth!Words are needless.

Yeah,he's gorgeous,yeah,he's an outstanding actor, but he's also a simple guy who was brought up pretty well by his family.He's polite,patient,intelligent,kind,hard-working,funny,ironic,shy,honest,a boy of very good taste,friendly,responsible,loving and respectful.Don't ever change,Jensen.We love you just the way you are.

Enjoy your party!!!
Kisses from Brazil.

Jensen is the greatest there is. The probable reason they won't put him on the big screen is because they are afraid that he'll push all the current celebs into the shadows. I haven't had the honors of meeting him yet, but I don't need to do that to realize that he is the best guy there is. The way he does Dean can't be described in words. He is obviously the best man to do the job, and he just keeps proving it every week. Another thing is, as said before, his spontaneity, a.k.a. his humor, the way he makes everyone laugh. That laugh shines a very bright and warm light in all directions. If you are unhappy at that particular moment, I'm sure that smile will pull all the unhappiness out of you. (That's what happened in my case.) I would have to agree with a previous entry, that there aren't enough numbers to count the reasons why Jensen is simply the best. Anyhow, I hope that there will be a con outside the English speaking territory, so that I could come and at least get an autograph. In this time zone at least, Jensen's birthday will last for another half an hour, so I better make this quick.

Jensen, best wishes from me, as well as all the other Croatian fans. Have a great time celebrating, and let there be at least another 60 birthdays for you to celebrate.

Well...Jensen is just like wine...the older,the better.It may sound cliché,but it fits him.Every year we see a more handsome and talented Jensen - it's like an endless source of awesomeness!Everything in Jensen is gorgeous - his eyes,his smile,shis hair,his wrinkles,his freckles,the way he raises his eyebrows or smirks at us, it's just killing!But that's obvious.What I find amazing about him is his talent.He makes us laugh,cry,be scared (evil!Dean!!!),be simpathetic,fall in love with him!There isn't a character he couldn't play!
And when you said: "We have no idea why Jensen isn't a major movie star -- he's got more talent than half the guys his age on the big screen today",dude,you took the words right out of my mouth!Wake up,Hollywood!!!

Long live Jensen Ackles!Wish you lots of work,success,health,love,happiness,fun and awesome characters for our delight!

Super Happy Birthday!

Lots of love from Brazil.

I agree with all the reasons you had posted. And I also admire ACTING was on the 1st place b/c Jensen really is an amazing actor and I do hope to see him on the big screen soon. He deserves it.

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY, JENSEN! ♥♥♥♥♥

The fact that he has spent nearly 30 years explaining why his first name is Jensen and he still patiently answers the question with a smile.

It's endearing :)

Happy birthday Jensen

I only discovered Jensen with the premiere of Supernatural. From the first episode, I was hooked. The man is wonderful to watch, his talent far out shining his looks which are breath-taking (I am such a sucker for freckles). He is surely destined to go far and become a major star.

Happy Birthday, Jensen. Your talent is awesome. I can't help but think of Cary Grant when I watch your comedic antics. You look like you are having fun and not working. It's a joy to watch you perform.

Happy Birthday!

I have been in love with you since season 1. If they kill you off I will have to be commited :)

30 for life!

Happy Birthday from Ukraine, Jensen!

happy birthday jensen have fun
you are so hot and i think that you should win the hottie bracket
i am wishing for supernatural to come back fast

Much love!

Jensen Happy birthday

We love you!!

Happy 30th birthday Jensen!

I swear the man gets hotter as each year passes by!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENSEN!!

I totally agree with your list.. Everything about Jensen is perfect.. his acting, his looks, his personality.. I don't have one bad thing to say about the man..I love him to death!!

HAPPY 30 BRITHDAY JENSEN YOU SEXY STUD OF A MAN and I had a lot of info for you but it's gone

My mother (and your mother and HER mother) always used to tell us that handsome/pretty is as handsome/pretty does. You, Jensen, already know you're one of those blessed with outrageously good looks, but you also know such things change with age. The best thing about you is that you're handsome INSIDE, too, a kind, giving man who will be remembered for your generous heart years after Dean Winchester and SUPERNATURAL have been relegated to questions on Jeopardy. Happy 30th birthday, Jensen! Love, Robin

1. The Joy
That he has in his own life and brings to others.

2. The Eyebrow
Just the one. The quirk. Excellent.

3. The Way he says 'Bingo'.

4. The Loyalty
To family, friends, colleagues.

5. The Kindness
How he treats people.

6. The Manners
He does Texas proud.

7. The Number of Caramels he can eat at one time.

8. The Double Act with Jared
The two of them together are hysterical.

9. The Class
He is not perfect, goofs around, pranks people etc. but when it comes down to it he has his principles. Class.

10. The Way he smiles with a Pen in his Mouth.

Happy birthday mate! Here's to the next 30 :)

I wish you the Best Year Ever, Jensen! Been adoring you since the very beginning of Supernatural! You are a true talent, a real sweetie and just too adorable for words! Big hugs and smoochies and Happy Birthday!! xo Nada :D

There are probably a million and one reasons why Jensen rocks. I agree with what everyone else has said so far.

His acting abilities are awesome. From love lorn Eric on Days to the kick ass Dean on, of course, Supernatural, he never misses a beat.

Happy 30th Birthday Jensen. I think I speak for everyone here when I say we look forward to another 30 years of Jensen awesomeness!!!!!

Happy 30 Jensen! I will be 30 in 17 days! He does make it look good...makes me feel a little better about the whole thing. (Which I need since I do have four kiddies!) But seriously, one of his 30 list should be this: All the things we DON'T know about him. The side that only family and close friends see. Yes, at meet and greets he's great...as those of you who have met him have said. But there's things we don't know and probably never will. So, here's to the rest of him!

Jensen you are truly amazing!! you amaze me everytime i see you. When i met you at the chicago convention, you were soo sweet, funny, and polite. When i see you on tv, you can pull off any kind of scene, and you steal any scene that you are in (you also steal my heart). I don't know how you do it but, you can be funny, serious, scary, sad, caring, cocky, cute, sweet, mean, angry, lovable, adorable, emotional, loving and so many more things when you act. When i ever i watch you on tv, i always feel like i'm watching something that is really happening, your acting is soo good that i forget that i'm watching a tv show. Along with your talent, your looks leave me speechless. One look into those gorgeoes green eyes is enough to melt my heart. Your lips will make any girl wish she could kiss you. and of course, we all know you have an amazing body (the pecs and the those shoulders). I always thought that god could not make a person that is perfect in every way, and you totally proved me wrong! I hope yo
