Alexander Calvert may be new to the hit show "Supernatural," but his character has quickly become an integral part of the show's mythology. Playing the son of Lucifer, Jack is a unique being - being half-human and half-angel, he possesses more powers than even his father. Despite his heritage, producers have noted that Jack also carries an ancient wisdom from his lineage.

However, Calvert's focus is on portraying Jack as a "newborn" in terms of his awareness of the world.

Calvert describes Jack as having a fun and optimistic outlook. In his first episode, Calvert's character was fascinated by the simple pleasures of life, such as enjoying a nougat chocolate bar and observing the world around him. Jack claimed Castiel as his father, despite being sired by Lucifer. Calvert acknowledges the parallels between Jack's exploration and Castiel's own experiences when he first arrived on Earth.

Calvert aims to portray Jack's exploration truthfully. Since Castiel is no longer there to guide him, Sam and Dean have taken on that role. Although Sam is actively trying to help Jack, Calvert shares that his character feels a connection to both brothers equally. Calvert explains that each episode reveals who Jack relates to more, sometimes leaning towards Sam and other times towards Dean.

Jack is trying to figure himself out while getting to know his only two real figures in his life.

Despite the imperfections of the Winchesters, Jack sees them as his main guides in the story. Calvert explains that Jack has empathy for Sam and relates to Dean, understanding the impact of Dean's loss. Jack's storyline will involve researching his own identity to understand his unique abilities. He is curious about his lineage and the world itself, while also accompanying Dean and Sam on their hunts.
