Why Do We Love Nathan Fillion?

[Sheinen]

While this was certainly post Buffy, my first exposure to Nathan Fillion is apparently a unique one: Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place.

Yay!!!!

I think Empire magazine's website described him best. They called him a 27 percenter, you can't explain it but anything he's in gets 27% better just because he's there.

 

[John the Gamer]

Who's that? And what's with the giant golden fish?

 

[tehroc]

I'm completely apathetic towards him. I did not enjoy Firefly, if I wanna see cowboys and other western tropes I can just goto the Redneck Yacht Club (giant mud hole, and yes that is what they named it) in my town. I havent enjoyed any of his roles.

You can so easily tell the nerds from the non-nerds in this tread, it is suffocating me!

@Aurgelmir:
Okay, you three beat me to it, but up until this fourth page, I was surprised that no one else was mentioning the show 'Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place'. At least there are some of us out there who were watching that show when it aired. Too bad you can't buy it..

"a crime novelist who (for some insane reason) is allowed to tag along behind a bunch of cops for inspiration."

Wait, Fillion did "Murder, She Wrote"?

 

[The Deadpool]

The guy is a charming, charismatic, funny, handsome, rich, famous, friendly...the list just goes on. I get excited any time I see a Fillion project coming out of the woodwork. I wouldn't praise him for his dynamic range in character, but when a guys as cool as he is, why change it?

Did anyone watch 2 Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place? My 2 favourite male actors in the one show! Ryan Reynolds and Nathan Fillion. It was just one big ball of awesome!

Heh. It was ALSO my first exposure to Ryan Reynolds, and one of the reasons I try and follow his work. Btw, have you seen Ryan Reynold's "The 9"?

 

[Atmos Duality]

Nathan Fillion?
I'm guessing he's from Firefly?

I honestly have no opinion about the man. He's just...there. No "love" at all.

 

[Continuity]

its simple: Firefly.

We love him because we love anything associated with Firefly, which was taken from us too soon by the cruel and fickle tv execs.

 

[Uncreative]

Anyone watch the new episode of Castle?
He speaks Chinese and references Firefly again.

I think Empire magazine's website described him best. They called him a 27 percenter, you can't explain it but anything he's in gets 27% better just because he's there.

Oh, that is an awesome way to describe it.

 

[warthoggunner]

Nothing that hasn't been said before:
Great actor, great guy.

aaaand: PG Porn?
I have to check that out.

(At first I read it as Powergirl Porn... would
be awesome too..)

 

[lark's song]

Has no one mentioned his role in Desperate Housewives yet?

 

[Vredesbyrd67]

Stand back everyone, nothin' here to see;
just imminent danger, in the middle of it, me!
Yes, Captain Hammer's here,
hair blowing in the breeze,
the day needs my saving expertise!

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do;
seems destiny ends with me saving you.
The only doom that's looming is you loving me to death
So I'll give you a second to catch your breath.


Also, this.

He's brilliant. I would love to work with him someday.

Erm...YES! How frickin' weird was that?? He was amazing in it - 3 totally different characters in the one film - and the gamer-boy tie in to this very site is nice too...

 

[Wutaiflea]

Personally, I think he's a total dickhead, but I'm entitled to think that, after he insulted a friend of mine on the Jimmy Kimmel show.

O_O

I thought I was like the ONLY person to ever watch that movie!

And yeah, it WAS pretty cool. It's also interesting that two of the biggest "nerd" actors out there today started off on the same damned show... Well, at least I saw them first on the same damned show...

 

[DTWolfwood]

i didnt know y ppl loves him, but im getting swept up in all the fandom. He is growing on me.

Bruce Campbell is awesome because he played Ash.

Christopher Walken well he danced in the most awesome music video ever [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMZwZiU0kKs]! XD

 

[Smooth Operator]

Well I like the character that is Malcolm Reynolds, but I got no idea what Nathan Fillion is like.
They did stick him into ODST and even he couldn't make that horse-sh*t writing sound good, so as always it's all about the character the actor plays.
