Exclusive: Kale Culley talks playing Jared Padalecki's son on 'Walker', 'Supernatural,' Gus, & whats to come

Silence on Set

Kale Culley comes into the frame, and immediately, you can't help but see the resemblance between him and his "tv" dad Cordell Walker (played by Jared Padalecki). They both have the charm, good looks, and that carefree perfect hair. Culley and Padalecki also share the same type of intellect. Culley spends much time conversing about Augustus' decisions or how certain scenes were filmed. He also attributes his freedom as an actor while on set and behind the scenes to Padalecki for creating a set where one's voice could be heard. A place where "the best decision is the right decision" and everyone is on an equal playing field. Culley said he learns every day from all of the actors on set. We discussed how much his character has changed, where we see him going as the season ends, and what it was like seeing Jared and Jensen on set together (we got some good intel on how the two work together and the carnival scenes that went a little chaotic). Regardless, Culley is an actor that is heading for success. He understands the art form and is constantly working to improve (although we think he is perfect). Hopefully, the show will get a renewal soon, so I can head down there and let him drive my car (it will make sense after you listen to it). It was so lovely to get to know Culley and consider him now a good friend. I couldn't be happier for him!

Synopsis:

A reimagining of the long-running series "Walker, Texas Ranger," "Walker" follows the adventures of Cordell Walker, a widower, and father of two with his own moral code, as he returns home to Austin after being undercover for two years, only to discover there's harder work to be done at home. He must attempt to reconnect with his creative and thoughtful son and his headstrong, somewhat rebellious teenage daughter and navigate clashes with his family -- an ADA brother who stepped in during Walker's absence, his perceptive mother, and his traditional rancher father. Walker finds unexpected common ground with his new partner while growing increasingly suspicious about the circumstances surrounding his wife's death.

*Walker is available to stream for free on The CW app.
