After leaving "Days of Our Lives" (1965) in 2000, Ackles went to Vancouver, joining the cast of the James Cameron television series "Dark Angel" (2000). His first appearance on the show was in 2001 as [[Max Guevara]]'s disturbed brother [[Ben]]. After Ben died, Ackles returned to the series in the second season as Ben's clone, [[Alec McDowell]], who eventually teamed up with Max and stayed until the show's demise in 2002. Ackles was offered the role of Alec because the producers were impressed with his performance as Ben, though the role was not written specifically for him and would have gone to another actor if Ackles had been unavailable or uninterested, in which case Alec would not have been Ben's twin. |
