Sam Winchester

Encyclopedia : S : SA : SAM : Sam Winchester


Samuel Winchester is a character in The WB TV show called "Supernatural"(2005). This character is played by 23-year-old Jared Padalecki.

He is best described as the reluctant warrior. It is noted his older brother Dean nicknames him "Sammy", which he responses:

SAM: “You know, Sammy is a chubby 12-year-old...it’s Sam.” – "Pilot"

When Sam was only six months old, his mother Mary Winchester was killed in his nursery, and had to be carried out by his older brother Dean Winchester (27 year old Jensen Ackles) whilst their father John Winchester went back to attempt to rescue Mary.

22 years later, the same demon kills Sam’s girlfriend Jessica Moore, which spurs Sam’s motivation to find the creature and destroy it. Whilst Sam and Dean both are searching for their father, John Winchester who is currently missing in action (but occasionally contacts the boys to leave new missions to complete) the boys constantly are fending off mystical creatures such as Woman In White the Wendigo, the mystical Bloody Mary, and Shapeshifters to name a few.

In one of the three-part finale episodes, the Winchester brothers along with their father find a special gun. The Colt was created by Samuel Colt and with it some special bullets that can only be used in that gun. It is said that once the bullets are shot, it can kill anything (demons, etc.). Armed with such a critical weapon, their dad has been kidnapped by another demon who wants the mystical Colt. The season finale of the first season aired on May 4th, 2006 (Thursday at 9:00 pm. EST).

The season finale concluded with Sam, Dean, and their father John escaping from a clash with "the Demon" in Salvation, Iowa. While Sam was driving away in the Impala to a hospital after Dean and John got hurt, a semi truck came a sideswiped them instantly causing mass damage to the Impala and the Winchesters inside. The audience finds out quickly that the driver of the truck is a Winchester family friend "Bobby", who was possessed by the Demon when it struck the car. A cliffhanger ends the season, leaving the audience to wonder if the Winchester family is alright and what they are going to do with the one bullet left in the colt. The CW Network picked up the show for its second season, so views will find out this fall.
