Jensen Ackles is an American actor known for playing Dean Winchester on the TV series Supernatural. The name combines a Scandinavian-influenced given name with an English surname, and is commonly pronounced with a clear first name stress and a softer, two-syllable surname. In practice, pronunciation hinges on the anglicized form of a Scandinavian first name and a two-syllable surname that ends with a light 's' sound.
