Is Nathan Fillion an asshole?

[happyninja42]

So, for a long time, whenever I would see footage of Nathan at conventions and stuff, he always gave me the "smarmy asshole" vibes. It wasn't glaring, but it was definitely there. Either from the way other people on the panel would react to him, to his general behavior, I just..I dunno,sort had a weird vibe about him.

But, in the nerd culture, he is (or perhaps was) the closest thing to the second coming of *insert savior figure of your choice*. He could do basically no wrong with nerd fans.

....and then the stuff with Castle happened, and it sort of reminded me of my suspicions about him.

So...is he actually a smug prick? Or is he really the super charming guy all nerds hope him to be?

Anyone ever met him away from cameras and had a different impression of him? Any other stories from people who worked with him and found him to be something of an ass? Anything?

Just randomly curious about this

To be fair, convention goers are...an acquired taste. They're not exactly the most stable, clean, polite or even nice crowd, and that's coming from a guy who worked security for several Cons in St Louis before.

So having to deal with the same absurd questions, fan comments, autographs, people wanting selfies, dressing up like that one character from over a decade ago, all the while dealing with the smell of 200+ people in heavy costumes in a poorly ventilated auditorium... I'm not sure I'd be the rosiest person ever.

Having said that, I'm sure he is a smug asshole. That handsome, rich and popular? How could he not be?! He's basically the William Shatner of the 00s.

I'd be a huge asshole if I had to be on the receiving end of that too. All you have to do is sit in on one con panel to get a gist of what celebrities deal with. So many people. So little social intelligence.

He has every right to be an asshole though. He's handsome, tall, charming and does not sit down for anyone.

The name you're looking for is "Bruce Campbell".

What happened with Castle? Got bored of it years ago.

Seems it ended, and in a pretty shitty way too.

Dammit Sonmi!

What happened with Castle? Got bored of it years ago.

It was canceled after the 2 female leads were not invited back, and their contracts renewed. Rumor has it that the actress who played Castle's love interest on the show, hated Nathan, and vice versa. That they were always fighting, and that Nathan drove her to tears on multiple occasions with his behavior. He was described as being a bully on the set, and that many people didn't like working with him because of his behavior. No clue if it's true, but I've yet to hear anything to the contrary from any camps out there, but that is the common information on the subject. Again, unconfirmed as far as I know. Which is why I was like "huh, I wonder if he's actually an egotistical asshole, and he's just been scamming the nerd culture for decades into thinking he's a nice, charming guy." Hence the post, to see if anyone had ever actually spoken to him, or had any personal stories that were less than the typical "OMG it's Nathan Fillion!! EEEEEEEEEEH!! he was in Firefly! I loved Firefly and he was in Dr. Horrible! I loved Dr. Horrible! EEEEEEH!" *fangasm* Kind of thing I always see.

Not that I'm aware of. I mean, he's not Captain Hammer in REAL life.

Remember that actors are only playing a character, you'll find that a character who is known to be consistently nice and charming has more chance of disappointing their fans with the actor turning out to just being a human with their own flaws. It is a difficult expectation to live up to in reality. That is why it is often better to be known more for playing asshole characters so people can be more likely to be pleasantly surprised by your personality.

Heard one particular comic artist stopped doing erotic commissions because a con-attendee pushed in front of a grandmother and her grandsons to describe in graphic detail what kind of art he wanted, so can fully believe that though I've never had a chance to attend a con.

I am aware that the person is not the character. But there is a difference in "being a regular person who plays super nice people, and from time to time acts in a negative way like every person does" and "being an asshole". Which is the crux of what I'm asking here.

I think what I was trying to say in a roundabout, inefficient manner is that there is less probability of him turning as equally fun and charming as his on screen character portrays, but it's not completely ruled out, though I didnt see your more recent post till after I posted. The level of potential assholeness has been expanded, however more information may be required before the hammer of judgement can fall.

This will help [http://bfy.tw/2Ph]

Of course I tried to goodle it, but the problem is that besides basic background I have no idea the context people talk about in this thread.

He's just asking if a well known and liked actor among the kind of people who frequent the Escapist is actually a jerk

I tried looking into that Castle drama at the time and what I got was really mixed. My own interpretation is that Fillion got to where he'd do his thing and after one or two takes he'd want to move on, keep things from bogging down. Katick (the female co-star) on the other hand was a perfectionist, wanting to do as many takes as necessary to achieve excellence by her standards. I saw just as many first and secondhand stories of either of them being either nice or grumpy at fans.

Whatever problems there were on-set though, seemed to be confined to the two of them. I never saw anybody, either crew or cast, badmouth either of them, except for the woman who plays Castle's daughter say something like "You can't have Castle without Fillion" in response to fan debates of which of the two deserved to be kicked to keep the show going.

Fillion seems to have had good relations with past cast from other shows. He got Alec Baldwin, a co-star from Firefly, onto Castle twice, and he helped produce and had a part in Tudyk's (another Firefly star) recent crowdfunded project.

The world isn't exactly black and white. You can have two very nice and good people who drive each other up the wall and bring out their worst sides if their personalities conflict. That's really all I think the Castle drama was. They both seemed to be good and well-liked performers who just couldn't get along, and parts of the Castle fandom seemed determined to demonize one below the other for their own gratification.
