We had a chance to chat with Misha Collins from Supernatural about his role as Castiel, what the new season has in store for him, about the pranks on the set, and about his recent bike accident. Here's what the actor had to say:

How are you?

Misha Collins: Well, I've been in the hospital. I crashed on my bicycle going about 55 miles per hour. I've already gotten the, "You are stupid."

Were you wearing a helmet?

Misha Collins: Yes, I was.

Well, then you're not stupid.

Misha Collins: Well, crashing going 55 is stupid. In my opinion.

Only if you do it on purpose.

Misha Collins: No, I didn't do it on purpose.

So you're a little banged up?

Misha Collins: I'm a little banged up. I didn't break anything. I just tore some muscles, and I'm missing a lot of skin. My shirts are sticking to my scabs.

Then why are you wearing a shirt?

Misha Collins: Yeah, ha [laughs].

You're being a method actor because Castiel was basically destroyed at the end of last season and you show up like --.

Misha Collins: Exactly, I wanted to know what that felt like.

You can use that in your work.

Misha Collins: I am, and I am using that to negotiate for better pay.
