The CW has posted something for Jensen's birthday. They want to collect 30 reason's why Jensen rocks.
Here are the first five they posted ... I agree with all of them whole-heartedly
30 reasons Jensen rocks
1. The Acting
Sure, Jensen has plenty of surface charms to recommend him (and trust us, we'll get to those...) but what really makes him exceptional is his blazing talent. We'd watch him in anything (and yes, we've seen Devour). He can convey more with a change of expression, a dimming of the eyes, a shift in the tone of his voice, than other actors his age can get across with pages and pages of script. We have no idea why Jensen isn't a major movie star -- he's got more talent than half the guys his age on the big screen today.
2. The Funny
Again, we love that Jensen is so much more than just a pretty face -- and he's more than willing to make that face look ridiculous to make a scene laugh-out-loud funny. Just think of him stuffing his cheeks with caramels in Tall Tales, or letting a piece of meat dangle from his mouth in Hollywood Babylon. And then there's all his dryly funny line readings, fabulous double takes, and countless Deanisms that make watching Supernatural such a side-splitting experience -- even when sides are literally being split with axes and knives.
3. The Realness
We love watching Jensen at conventions or giving interviews. Why? Because he's such a nice, regular guy who seems shocked by all the attention. He's unfailingly polite, more than willing to make fun of himself, and seems like he'd be a fun guy to hang out with. If only all of our favorite stars were this down-to-earth!
4. The Chemistry
Jensen Ackles plays well with others. Sure, he does a mean soliloquy, but he really shines when he's interacting with other actors. What makes Supernatural so fabulous is the relationships -- the show wouldn't be the same without the palpable bond between Sam and Dean. The brotherly chemistry he shares with Jared Padalecki is the stuff of legend, but you see it with just about everyone he shares the screen with, from Jefferey Dean Morgan to Fredric Lehne to Samantha Ferris to random extras. Heck, we here at CW Source Central joke that the man oozes enough chemistry that even the furniture acts better when he's in the room.
5. The Hominah-Hominah-Hominah
Dear god, but this man is gorgeous. It's obvious any time you look at him. He can rock a blue mohawk, make layers look good, and single-handedly revive the career of Asia just by rockin' out to one of their songs. And every once in a while, we'll see a shot of him that emphasizes his stunning looks so much that we nearly pass out from the pretty. Yowza.

I wish I could add the remaining 25 reasons ... but I'm not that good with words. Any ideas?
