Alright, Winchester faithful, gather ’round! We all miss “Supernatural,” that show that ran longer than a demon’s lifespan. But what about the stars who brought the monsters and mayhem to life? Today, we’re diving into the whereabouts of everyone’s favorite King of Hell, Crowley himself, Mr.
Mark Sheppard
Where’s Crowley Now? The “Supernatural” Baddie We All Secretly Loved
Four years after the Winchesters slammed the gates of hell shut (again), Sheppard’s been keeping a relatively low profile.
Is he secretly plotting a demonic comeback? Has he traded his soul-dealing ways for a quiet life of crossword puzzles and Earl Grey tea? The truth is a bit more complicated, and frankly, a little heartbreaking.
From Crossroads Demon to Sci-Fi Villain: Sheppard’s Pre-“Supernatural” Reign
Before he was ruling the fiery depths, Sheppard was a familiar face in the sci-fi and fantasy world. He popped up on “The X-Files” back in the ’90s, and then racked up an impressive resume of villainous roles on shows like “CSI,” “Charmed,” “NCIS,” “Firefly,” and “Battlestar Galactica.
It’s like he was training for the ultimate gig: the King of Hell.
Life After “Supernatural”: A Western and a Comic Book?
After his dramatic exit from “Supernatural” in season 12 (RIP, Crowley, we still miss you!), Sheppard didn’t exactly vanish into thin air. He graced our screens in 2019 as Willoughby Kipling in the delightfully weird comic book adaptation, “Doom Patrol.
He even reunited with former “Supernatural” co-star Jared Padalecki in “Walker: Independence,” where he played Hagan, a saloon owner. Clearly, Sheppard has a thing for playing charismatic characters with a touch of darkness.
The Heartbreaking Truth: Sheppard’s Health Scare and His Focus on Family
But here’s where the story takes a somber turn. In 2023, Sheppard shocked fans with the news that he had suffered SIX heart attacks after collapsing in his kitchen.
“I woke up in intensive care,” Sheppard revealed, “and learned that I had come back from the dead four times. My chances of survival were almost zero.
Damn, even Crowley couldn’t negotiate his way out of that!
Since then, Sheppard has understandably taken a step back from acting, focusing on his health and spending time with his family.
“Health is wealth,” one fan commented on Sheppard’s Instagram. “We want you around for a long time, Mark!”
A Message to Mark: We’re Rooting for You!
While we miss seeing Sheppard on screen, his health is what truly matters. We’re sending him all the positive vibes and hoping for a speedy recovery. Maybe one day, when he’s feeling up to it, he’ll grace our screens again.
Until then, we’ll be re-watching “Supernatural” episodes, raising a glass of whisky to the King of Hell, and wishing Mark Sheppard all the best. Get well soon, buddy! The fandom is waiting.
