First Look: Mitch Pileggi Meets the Winchesters On "Supernatural"

A tasty TV morsel arrived in my email inbox and I just had to share it with my fellow "Supernatural" addicts:
It's the first photo from Season 6 of the show, which returns Fri., Sept. 24, 9PM ET on the CW. (Don't forget that the show moves to Fridays. Get those season passes in order.)
Behold Mitch Pileggi -- a.k.a. Grandpa Samuel -- with both Dean and Sam Winchester (Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki). Of course Dean met Samuel in a Season 4 episode, 'In the Beginning,' but both Winchesters will get to know their grandfather much better this season.
Pileggi, a reliably excellent character actor who has appeared on everything from "The X-Files" to "Sons of Anarchy", will have a recurring role in Season 6 as a patriarch of the Campbell side of the family, which has been hunting weird and wild critters since the Mayflower landed.
Corin Nemec and Jessica Heafey play other members of the Campbell clan in Season 6.
Below, you'll find the CW's description of the Season 6 premiere, 'Exile on Main Street,' which was written by executive producer and showrunner Sera Gamble and directed by Phil Sgriccia.
Here are the details on 'Exile':
"It's a year later and Dean has given up hunting and is living with Lisa and her son Ben. Mysteriously freed from his cage in hell, Sam finds Dean and tells him he need to rejoin the fight and introduces Dean to a world -- a family -- he never even knew existed: the Campbells, his mother's family, lead by none other than their Grandfather Samuel."
