Supernatural has such a vast history with its 15 seasons, that it is no surprise that the fantasy TV show has many different ties to other media and has influenced popular culture. One such way the show connects itself to the wider industry is that members of Supernatural’s cast have appeared in other major movies and TV shows, often providing ample opportunities for meta references. For example, Mitch Pileggi, who plays Samuel Campbell on Supernatural, had previously appeared in The X-Files as Assistant Director Walter Skinner. However, in the case of Pileggi, there are actually multiple connections between his two roles.
