Yeah, I blame my friend on that. He got me into watching Firefly (great show, BTW. sucks they cancelled it).
Why Do We Love Nathan Fillion?

- Start date
So it's... basically the Whedon connection, as in the "Sudden tidal wave of vague and unexplainable hatred for everyone who ever appeared in a Joss Whedon property after Whedon's most recent project was such an embarrassment, despite the popular and critical approval all his past projects have gotten" that's been so popular on the internet over the last year or so?Frank_Sinatra_ said:
Over-hyped and over-praised eh? I assure you, I'm impressed with your fiercely independent spirit (TM) to stand up so bravely against a 13-episode show (of which I think about 5 ended up airing).
Well, you said it. You don't hate him per se. You hate those who would dare like something you don't. ...I mean his "rabid fans" &c.
I've hated every character I've seen him play. Firefly, Buffy, Doctor Horrible; liked the shows/internet musical but Fillion's characters always had me rooting for his downfall. Never played Halo ODST, but if his trend in characters is there, I'd probably spend time trying to shoot him in the head.
Now, if he's nothing like his characters, then I can greatly appreciate his acting talent at portraying a role so well that I'll outright hate it (probably not the intention as Mal, oh well).

All of them.
OT: He is a good actor with charm and great timing...and he is Captain Hammer.
England alone would have an entire industry of Nathan Fillions if that was the only requirement.Nautical Honors Society said:What other actor on earth would dress in women's clothing?Whitenail said:

Also: We're forgetting one thing: He was the other Private Ryan. The one whose spirit was crushed and ground into a fine powder by Tom Hanks in about 30 seconds total. Awesome.
True, but I'd like to see Grahame Bond be able to say such classic lines as "I swear, by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you" on a wagon, on an alien planet, surrounded by bandits, with that utterly charming Nathan Filion smile and accent.Nautical Honors Society said:What other actor on earth would dress in women's clothing?Whitenail said:
