I don't know why it never occurred to me but I'd say you are correct. Now, clearly this calls for some sort of mega project where the two collaborate. Were that to happen, my head would almost certainly explode from surprise with such force that reality itself would be sundered.Lolth17 said:
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.
He's very popular because most people aware of how acting works and what it takes to be a really good actor realize that he has those talents.
I'm not necessarily saying I'm smarter than anyone who doesn't like him, but now it's out there and unfortunately I'm left too tired to recant it.
It's mostly to get eyes looking at you.
What? I didn't say that was a bad thing so that means I'm not a hypocrite then right?
PS. Indeed! The game is afoot!

It makes people feel cooler and more important. Like denying the holocaust or saying that Jersey Shore is a deep commentary on the lives of lesser people.SpiderJerusalem said:

He would be an utterly fantastic Wonder Woman that would be topped by none.Aurgelmir said:

The guy is a rare breed of a very versatile actor who won't be nailed down to any stereotype. We know him as Malcolm Reynolds and yet I am not sure we entirely know everything about Mal. Mal is cavalier and a crusader, yet since the war some may say a piece of him died. I don't feel that. There is so much depth that Nathan has put into Mal that you can sense that Sergeant Reynolds wants to come out and tell the Alliance to go take a long walk out a short airlock. And yet Captain Reynolds feels his comfort zone being aboard Serenity with his crew. There is a lot yet to be told to that story.
In Serenity we saw the good ol' Sergeant come out and do a good deed for the people of the system but oh so quickly the Captain took over when the deed was done.
(I missed Buffy so can't comment on his character there)
In Castle, which I have just begun to watch, (working on first season right now) I sense a care-free character who feels rather bulletproof and yet enjoys doing something more than just writing books. Anybody who sends me spoilers on later seasons will receive my ire, but I have a feeling Castle is gonna be due for his wakeup call and I just hope nobody else gets hurt in the process.
In movies and shows we grow attached to those characters we see resemblance in ourselves or who we might aspire to be. Or perhaps fear we may become. Nathan so far has shown a diversity of characters, so it is only the easier that more people can find a certain attachment to the man through any of the characters he plays. And since he is only just hitting his prime, there is still so much potential to the man. I can't wait to see what comes next.

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!
