Today I’m joined by Jim Beaver, best known for his role as Bobby Singer in Supernatural. The fifteenth and final season of Supernatural is soon to be released, but finishing filming hasn’t been easy with the virus.

Coronavirus briefly put all filming of the Supernatural on hold. But now the show is flying all its actors out to Canada so they can get those last few episodes filmed. So Jim is getting ready to go to Canada where he’ll have to self isolate for 2 weeks before filming can begin. 

Jim has acted in more shows and films than I could possibly list – Deadwood, Breaking Bad, Justified, Big Love, Sliver, Bad Girls, Magnolia, Adaptation, and the list goes on and on…

He tells me what it’s like to be a successful actor and how he managed to do so well in his career. 

A Texan after my own heart it’s great having Jim on the show, and even better to hear how the entertainment industry is starting to wake up again…

“The real secret to being a successful actor doesn’t have much to do with acting. It’s never holding up production and never making anybody sorry you got hired.” – Jim Beaver

C’est l’heure pour un nouvel épisode de Go Fact Yourself*! (In case your French is a little rusty: It’s time for a new episode of Go Fact Yourself!)

Jim Beaver is an actor who’s known for his roles in TV shows like, "Breaking Bad," and, "Justified," where he’s earned a reputation as a "tough guy"-type who’s usually associated with guns. He’s also done a lot of research on major Hollywood figures from other eras. He’ll explain why he didn’t let the technological limitations from his youth get in the way of his research of actor John Garfield. Jim Beaver can be seen in the final season of "Supernatural".

Jim will face off against Erica Rhodes, who’s currently tearing it up on NBC’s "Bring The Funny" and who had a memorable turn on "Modern Family". She’s been involved in show-business since she was 10 as a voice on the radio-drama "Prairie Home Companion". Erica’s newest comedy album is "Sad Lemon" and she’ll explain how she settled on the title after a little crowdsourcing.

The guests will discuss classic musicals set in France, American traitors and the finer aspects of going Dutch.
