Co-executive Producer of Supernatural. Jim came on board running the production in Vancouver at the beginning of Season 5, in the role previously filled by Kim Manners for Seasons 1-4 and by Vladimir Stefoff briefly in Season 4. He is a member of the crew band The Impalas.

Jim on what his job entails:

I spend the majority of my time prepping the upcoming episode with our directors, while keeping an eye on the shooting crew. My days are very busy scouting locations, casting, budget meetings, departmental meetings, working with our first class publicity department, etc. My typical day starts with the crew call and ends with the wrap. The hours are long, but you have to love it to keep doing it.source

During Season 7, Jim joined Twitter, and would live-tweet during episodes.

6.15 The French Mistake

Garwin Sanford as Jim Michaels

Played by: Garwin Sanford

After Sam and Dean's altercation with Virgil, Jim is on a conference call with Sera Gamble, Bob Singer, and Kevin Parks. They discuss the situation, and Bob tells Sera that Jared and Jensen appear to be on an extended acid trip. Sera offers to fly up to Vancouver and talk to them, but Jim says that he's not sure Jared or Jensen know who Sera is, because "she's new." Bob then tells her that it would be better if Eric Kripke talked to them, since he created the show. Sera is angered by the suggestion, and tells them that Eric is in a cabin somewhere and busy writing his next pilot for a movie called "Octocobra."
