Alona Tal played demon hunter Jo Harvelle in "Supernatural." Working alongside her mother, Ellen Harvelle (Samantha Ferris), Jo helped out Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) on several different occasions. Jo died during the apocalyptic events of Season 5, but that didn't stop the character from returning from beyond the grave for one more episode in Season 7. Aside from being headstrong and fiercely loyal, Jo was also an off-and-on love interest of Dean Winchester, and the two finally consummate their relationship shortly before her character died. In total, Tal appeared in 10 episodes of "Supernatural."
Tal sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss how her role on the hit CW show prepared her for future parts. I got to observe that from a safe place because I was never a lead character," she said. "But I spent enough time on the show to see how fans respond to the lead actors." If there's one thing that's well known about "Supernatural," it's that the series garnered an incredibly dedicated die-hard fanbase (via PrimeTimer). Now that Tal has become something of a marquee success herself, she's starting to adjust herself to the limelight as well. "I'm starting to try and adopt that aspect of celebrating one's landmarks," she said of watching a film of hers in theaters. Hopefully, the performer will have more moments like these to celebrate in the future.
