"It's a relief," Hartley, 47, told The Post about the show's success. "When you put something out there and give it your all - and when you build something that has your taste profile - you hope that other people like it. And you never know. So it's been really great."
"We always had the idea that the character Russell Shaw would come on the show, we didn't have it cast yet. And Jensen was watching football... and I said, 'If you can't beat them, join them, why don't you come on the show?' That was pretty much how it happened."
Hartley and Ackles have been friends for 'so long' and tried to work together for a while, said Hartley, so 'this was the perfect storm; he had a little bit of free time, and we had the perfect window to bring him in.'
