Supernatural Characters Who Were Almost Played By A Different Actor

3. ’65 MUSTANG WAS SELECTED AS ‘BABY’ FIRST

One of the most interesting Supernatural character is Baby. It is referred to the 1967 Chevrolet Impala which is the home of the Winchesters, they travel in the car all across the country. It played a significant role in numerous episodes where the Winchesters managed to fight the villains with the help of Baby. Even though it has been wrecked plenty of times on the show, but the brothers always managed to put it back together. The show has used numerous cars for the shooting.

The car was bought by John Winchester after Dean (who traveled in the past) influenced him to get the car. John would hand over the Impala to Dean. Eric Kripke originally planned to use ’65 Mustang to be the Winchesters car in which they would travel while hunting the Supernatural entities. But his neighbor who is an avid fan of cars persuaded him to use the 1967 Impala. His neighbor told him that Impala is a car which has a large trunk where you can easily place a body. The Impala is a rough-n-tough and intimidating car which fits better with the theme of the show.

2. LAUREN COHAN AUDITIONED FOR THE ROLE OF RUBY

The demon species has been pretty integral to the plot of Supernatural. For the majority of part, demons have served as the antagonists to the Winchesters, but there have been demons who have proven to be valuable allies. The first demon ally to the boys was the demon Ruby who appeared in season 3 and helps Sam and Dean in fighting off & defeating other creatures of the underworld.

Katie Cassidy was cast in the role of Ruby. However, she was replaced by Genevieve Cortese in Season 4 after Katie opted to leave the show due to lack of clarity about her character’s direction and was offered another opportunity on a different show. But you would be surprised to know Lauren Cohan auditioned for the role of Ruby. But the creators decided to cast her in the role of Bela, another female character who debuted in Season 3. The writers created two female leads in the form of Bela and Ruby in Season 3.
