Springfield, who got his big break as an actor as Dr. Noah Drake on GH in the early ‘80s, is currently on a nationwide summer tour to promote his recent album, Rocket Science. You can also see him starring opposite Meryl Streep in Ricki and the Flash, out on DVD and Blu-ray. But to see him in his scary new role, you’ll have to wait until season 12 of SUPERNATURAL premieres on Thursday, Oct. 13!
