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.
