Q&A: 'Supernatural's newest God

There's never been any shortage of mythological figures popping up in the Supernatural world, and fans are about to be treated to one more! Enter Baldur, the Norse God of Light, who will make his presence felt in the nineteenth episode of The CW drama, courtesy of British soap star Adam Croasdell, who landed the role just one week after moving to LA! The exact details of why Baldur arrives in town have been kept tightly under wraps, so we decided to give Adam a call to see what - if anything! - he could tell us.

What can you tell us about your character?
"I play Baldur, the Norse God Of Light. I'm not sure how much I can tell you, but I will say that I had a lot of fun doing his scenes with Sam and Dean!"

How much have you filmed?
"I've pretty much finished all of my filming. I was shooting in Vancouver over the Olympics, which was the best time to be there! The Canadians were fantastic and so festive. I thought I wanted to see the ice hockey because it was in close proximity to where I was, but all the tickets were gone! My cousin was in town though, and he's the coach of the Italian Olympic snowboarding team, so I got to hang out with the Olympians at night and party with them, just not go to any events! It was the perfect first job out here."

Why does Baldur enter the Supernatural universe?
"This is Supernatural, so of course there's a reason why he appears, but if I said any more it would blow his entire story! He's fairly important, but aren't all Gods important?! Is he important in the overall apocalypse storyline? Well, that remains to be seen! I have a little bit of a fight with one of the other actors, which I quite liked because it’s a bit of a release from all the dialogue. Hell it’s just more fun!"

So, is your Norse God not a nice guy then?!
"Well you know, all Gods have huge egos don't they?! He's got a bit of both going on. I'm sorry I can't say any more!"

How was it filming with Jensen and Jared?
"They are really great guys, a lot of fun and very professional. They are both very funny in real life. It was quite funny because Jared was in the throes of getting ready to go to his bachelor party in Vegas and then get married, while Jensen – I'm sorry to say ladies – is shortly following suit. The Supernatural boys seem like they are taken now!"

They have reputations as being practical jokers – were you on the receiving end of any pranks?!
"No, not on the end of them but they did have us in stitches on more than one occasion! They sort of riff off each other, it's quite interesting. They seem to be a perfect pairing in terms of casting, and seem to do a lot together, even getting married at around the same time! It's an interesting scenario, but I guess that tends to happen if you like the person you're working with and you've been working with them for about five years basically daily and for long hours. Thank God they are friends because life would be awful for them!"

How was it fitting in with such a tight-knit cast then?
"I think it’s important to fall in with your co-workers as quickly as possible because you're often called on to do some pretty strange and weird things, so you want to get comfortable with the people you're working with immediately. Initially it does feel a little bit forced, but very soon it's really helpful for the scene. You don't want to spend days with people you don't want to be hanging about with. Thankfully that was very easy on this job!"

Finally, is there any possibility of Baldur returning?
"There's always a chance! I think that's the thing about Supernatural - because it's about the 'supernatural', people keep coming back from the dead and terrible injuries, so you never know. I hope so because it's fun and it's a great show to be part of."
