My son Steve when I did my 1st episode of #Supernatural in 2007 & today on the show's last day of shooting. What a long & amazing ride. From janitor to director, I'll never have another experience like I've had on this show. Or a better TV family. Cheers to you all. ❤️ #SPNFamily

Or you could raise them to be gentlemen who are kind, courteous, and conscientious and who show respect for women and men alike in all situations.
If you have a son, make sure you buy him a note pad, a body camera, & a recording device. Get him a battery pack too so he can always protect himself with video evidence of every single encounter he has with a woman. Men aren’t safe in America anymore. There is a war on men.

You’re entitled to your political opinions & I leave you to them. But know this - before an actor, I’m a son, father, husband & patriot. To say “stick to your (job here)” is disrespectful & unAmerican. All citizens are entitled to their opinions & the peaceful expression of them.

As a Tennessean, THANKS @taylorswift13 for citing TN’s Confederate statues like Nathan Bedford Forest, KKK’s 1st grand wizard, in the capitol. All pro-slavery AND war losers. And to spoil a weak “gotcha” moment, also Democrats. No one cares. Racism isn’t political. They gotta go.
As a Tennessean, it makes me sick that there are monuments standing in our state that celebrate racist historical figures who did evil things. Edward Carmack and Nathan Bedford Forrest were DESPICABLE figures in our state history and should be treated as such.
