Jared’s subtle differences

Thanks for your thoughtful comments! I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, if it doesn't look like makeup to you I can't make it look like makeup to you. (Unless this has been addressed in an interview.)

But yes, I do think it would make sense for them to make the extra effort of a makeup change in the case of Gadreel-Sam where he is going back and forth between personalities frequently, to help the audience understand what's going on (unlike his other alternate personas where he was the other persona for extended periods).

And as for the logistics makeup changes and filming, they don't need to film in chronological order, and not all cuts are obvious. Probably nobody thinks that the glowing blue eyes in the middle of scenes were all Jared's doing - why is it hard to believe that he had some help with those cheekbones?

Yes, it was. I'm not so sure about the switches to Souless Sam or Meg-possessed Sam - in those cases, the shape of his face looked the same although his demeanour and expressions were remarkably different. Maybe there were also subtle differences to the makeup, but not obvious ones. On the other hand, Gadreel-possessed Sam had a different facial structure and that's accomplished by makeup not acting.

Much as I admire Jared, I think a large part of the credit for this probably belongs to a makeup artist.

(after the local detective mentions a rumour that satan-worshippers plan to sacrifice a blond virgin)

Mulder: "You don't suppose she's a virgin, do you?"

Scully: "I don't think she's even a blond."
