comments: Super hot Jensen Ackles played Sami's twin brother Eric on "Days of Our Lives" until recently, departing to pursue other options. Jensen started out modelling, appearing as a Super Mario Brothers pajama boy. Jensen was discovered by a talent agent at a high school acting workshop. And that started out his illustrious acting career, with appearances in such series as "Wishbone", "Cybil" and "Sweet Valley High". Jensen also had a part on the short-lived series "Mr. Rhodes" a few years ago, before landing the role of Eric in "Days". Look for him next in the CBS Movie of the Week "Blonde" now filming in Australia. We're hoping we see a lot more of this gorgeous Texas boy!
