Padalecki next stars alongside Peter O'Toole and Marcia Gay Harden as famed artist Thomas Kinkade in the biopic “The Christmas Cottage” due in theaters this November. Based on the life of one of America's most collected living artists, the film takes a look at the inspiration behind one of Kincade's most famous paintings. The artist began his career after discovering his mother was in danger of losing their family home.
