Difficult (for me) to put into words what an incredible ride this has been. How much life and growth has occurred. How amazing the team is. It’s truly been the highlight of my career...

This complicated character allowed the space and range to discover and push boundaries in a way I never expected and I will always be grateful for this experience. And of course huge gratitude to my co-parent with this twisted gem of a character - Eric Kripke. We created a monster, sir. And I will miss him, and you. Til we roll out the last season. When I’ll see you.

Hugh Grant once stated in an interview, "I'm getting bored of playing obvious roles and being typecast." Writer/directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods saw this interview and wrote the character of Mr. Reed with Hugh as their top choice for the role.
