Episode Details

Supernatural’s Chet the Leviathan, Sean Owen Roberts, interview 🧀 Nacho Cheese Chet himself spills the movie magic behind the Leviathans on Denim-wrapped Nightmares, a Supernatural rewatch podcast.

Berly sits down solo with actor Sean Owen Roberts, who paused a Twilight movie marathon to chat just hours before heading back to set on MGM’s Billy the Kid. LA introduces him first: he’s a Vancouver actor whose credits include Painkiller Jane, The Killing, The Romeo Section, and Frequency. Then she rejoins Berly for the post-interview chat.

Episode Highlights:

• A high school play, a talent scout, and the lead role that got him put on academic probation at UBC
• What’s coming in Billy the Kid’s final season: bloodier, more violent, and a meaner character for Sean
• Patreon questions: how do you play a monster that doesn’t exist? (Like a gangster who loves his job)
• Embracing the Nacho Cheese Chet nickname
• Dots on his face for the Leviathan mouth, all shot on the real set
• The bare-bones trick behind Chet lifting Jared Padalecki in Shut Up, Dr. Phil
• Chained to the torture chair for Slash Fiction, and eating lunch with one hand free
• How they pulled off his decapitation, plus a head mold from another show so realistic it captured his freckles
• Auditioning for Jensen Ackles, who directed and cast his first episode, and the Goodfellas-era Joe Pesci energy he brought
• Sean’s spinoff pitch: Chet eating his way from call center to call center

After the interview, LA joins Berly to talk Sean’s Tom Hardy vibes. Both hosts were surprised how much of Chet’s effects were done practically without a green screen. Berly also wonders how much prep time the effects team got compared to his other shows.
