[edit] Jared's mother related to. . .

Does anyone know if Jared's mother Sharon is related to a Lucy Kammer?

• Well I suppose she well could be... I doubt anyone besides either of the Kammers (i.e. Sharon or Lucy... lol) would know for sure. JackO'Lantern 05:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• Ah, okay, thanks. I was just curious, because I know that Padalecki and his family are from San Antonio (as am I) and I had an English teacher in high school named Lucy Kammer. That's why, when I noted what Jared's mother's name was, my curiosity was piqued and I started to wonder if my old English teacher was a relative.
• Well, your English teacher wasn't famous, was she? Perhaps you could get in contact with her and ask her. Michael 03:44, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heritage

Can somebody find out his heritage? It seems like his dad is Polish, judging from his last name, and the mother might be German.

• Ya thats true he has Polish heritage but the German bloodline...that I'm not so sure.

Kammer is a German name.[1][2][3]--Jugbo 04:04, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Candid character

• Well as some of you viewers watcher the Ellen Degenere's Show, Ellen scooped some incidents regarding the incident at Jared's Flight of the Pheonix(FoP) sketch. Jared told her that he wasn't used driving to the roads that lead to the FoP filming scene.While he was driving he accidently went to the side of the road and the car came tumbling upside-down.

As he was conscious, a thought cane to him that the car might explode so he make a run from the car, about 50m and right after that he glanced towards the vehicle and well no severe damage and everything was intact. justin Leonnyc2004 06:30, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jared's siblings

Okay, fans keep going back and forth on which of the actor's siblings studies medicine, and which one studies architecture. To make your edit stick and improve the article's accuracy, please find and cite a reliable source (such as a magazine article) that includes this information. Frankly, I'm not certain it's notable enough to mention in any case. Karen | Talk | contribs 04:49, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Height

There is no way Jared Padalecki is 6'5"... I have met him before and im 5'11" and he was barely like 1-2 inches taller then me.

• I always go with 6'4" for his height, actually, but that's beside the point. When did you meet him? If it was more than six or seven years ago, I might buy that, especially if he was slouching. As it stands, though, the man makes Jensen Ackles look tiny, and Jensen's height has been reported as 6'1". Waterofthemoon 10:34, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
  • On the CW, during a segment called "CWH" hosted by Mark McGrath, they had Padalecki and Justin Hartley play the video game Guitar Hero II. They described them as: Justin Hartley - Age: 29, Height: 6'3" - Jared Padalecki - Age: 24, Height: 6'3". They have the clip here, under the link happening:Guitar Hero 2. I'd say that's official. Oh, and the winner? Padelecki. With one hand in a cast.  :) --Ebyabe 18:11, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for tracking down that cite. I tried, but my dial-up couldn't handle all that java. Karen | Talk | contribs 23:20, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Polish

Jared Padalecki is of Polish origin. Padalecki, Padałecki are Polish surnames of many people in Poland and USA too. The surname! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kowalmistrz (talk • contribs) 17:51, 12 December 2006 (UTC).

You'd need a WP:RS for anything included in the article (no, not the IMDB or trivia sites like "MostBeautifulMan.com", which credit no authors) Mad Jack 20:16, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] High School Accomplishments

Is it worth mentioning that Jared (and his teammate Chris Cardenas) won the national championship in Duo Interpretation in 1998? That seems to be a pretty salient fact. [4]76.168.126.84 07:31, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image problem

In the past week or so, two images have been removed from this page. For the infobox, the rule now seems to be that if it's possible to take a photo of the actor and release it as a free image, then a fair use one can't be used. I personally feel that's a pretty high hurdle -how many Wikipedians have access to the actor for picture-taking? - but that's how things stand. On the image OrphanBot removed of the two Supernatural stars together, I have the impression that this can probably be restored if someone can tag the image's page as to where the picture came from and add a fair use rationale in the article. This shouldn't be too hard...I hope! Meanwhile I've added a screen capture of the actor in a less famous role, because it's sourced and I was able to provide the rationale. I hope that helps!
