- VerseExplorer, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26Great article. It's so true. Nathan should be a superstar that everyone knows. He needs that break that throws him into the main stream.
- Tal71, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9He sure does! he's proved his skill in a wide variety of roles, it's about time someone who has the influence recognizes that and puts enough faith in him to do something great - not that he's doing badly just now - got some work in Desperate Housewives and is rumored to be doing something in a movie just now ... and of course Waitress has done remarkably well and White Noise The Light is due to come out in the US later this year
- zybch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Isn't white noise 2 already out in the US?
We've had it here in Oz for ages.- Tal71, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Nope, not legally anyhow, it has been released on dvd in both the UK and Australia though
- counterplex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Didn't know about his appearance on Desperate Housewives. Should be interesting.
- zybch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Isn't white noise 2 already out in the US?
- Saxon1014, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0He's also reprising the role that kick started his career, Joey Buchanan on One Life to Live next week! Nathan has everything a 'leading man' in Hollywood needs, except maybe the negative stuff too many of them have! He's a sweetie in person and that shows on screen. I wish him only the best.
- Tal71, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9He sure does! he's proved his skill in a wide variety of roles, it's about time someone who has the influence recognizes that and puts enough faith in him to do something great - not that he's doing badly just now - got some work in Desperate Housewives and is rumored to be doing something in a movie just now ... and of course Waitress has done remarkably well and White Noise The Light is due to come out in the US later this year
- stoweaway, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17Hopefully his appearance on LOST and the one coming up on Desperate Housewives will put him in the spotlight. I'm also crossing my fingers that Waitress gets some recognition come award time (a la Little Miss Sunshine).
- rspeed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2He was on LOST for, what? 15 minutes? It's pretty unlikely there will be another flashback with him again.
- Amillion2one, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I'm sure Waitress will be the one to get him into the spotlight on a wider scale...there's been a but of a buzz going around that the film is nominated for an oscar which would be just be great...would be more great if Nathan got a nod for his role as Dr Pomatter.
- Ivalaine, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1well i have to agree. there's been a lot of interest in the movie amongst the browncoats in Australia, perhaps because its in more of a broad audience genre (i haven't seen slither or white noise because i don't like horror/thriller movies) if every browncoat went to see it and took 1 other non browncoat with them, it'd be a nice big hit methinks. i cant wait for it to come out.
personally i think fox is out to destroy him. he's both an incredible actor and an incredible guy.- zybch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Slither is not horror, its dark comedy, and freaking brilliant!!
- Ivalaine, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1well i have to agree. there's been a lot of interest in the movie amongst the browncoats in Australia, perhaps because its in more of a broad audience genre (i haven't seen slither or white noise because i don't like horror/thriller movies) if every browncoat went to see it and took 1 other non browncoat with them, it'd be a nice big hit methinks. i cant wait for it to come out.
- ncb1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Desperate Housewives maybe what he needs to get more mainstream acceptance. It'll let others see that he's a multitalented actor than can do comedy, drama and action.
- jponah, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12I agree too. Nathan deserves much more recognition than he gets. I hope Desperate Housewives will help! I stopped watching that show after the 1st season, but you bet I'll start watching it again!!
- RST1123, on 10/10/2007, -37/+2GARBAGE. BURIED.
- andburn1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Likewise.
- Mishkin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+36I hope that Fox gets their head out of their asses, and starts making Firefly again.
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I'm pretty sure multiple people have said that that won't happen. However, Serenity 2 is a remote possibility.
- Mishkin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5... but we can still dream, no? ;)
- Ivalaine, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I do believe that joss has said there wont be another serenity.
sadly i also doubt that firefly will be coming back either, fox or no fox.- Tal71, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0actually, just last week Joss pretty much said that the possibility of Serenity II may depend on how well the Special Edition of the 2 disk DVD does
- anonym41414, on 10/10/2007, -7/+0No, basically you can't. "Firefly" was very uneven, ranging from pretty good to merely okay, but nobody watched it. And "Serenity" was just an awful, awful movie.
It's over. Let it go.
- Ivalaine, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I do believe that joss has said there wont be another serenity.
- Mishkin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5... but we can still dream, no? ;)
- OatmealBatman2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Joss Whedon has said he won't work with FOX again. That, of course, doesn't rule out future prospects for Firefly.
- andburn1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2SciFi channel should have been all over that right after it was cancelled. Imagine, BSG and Firefly on the same channel. It's like Nirvana.
- mdeppi01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1As much as that would rock, it would be a step backward for Nathan's career.. That kind of show will never have a broad appeal--keeping him in roles once cast by Bruce Campbell.
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I'm pretty sure multiple people have said that that won't happen. However, Serenity 2 is a remote possibility.
- cpr86, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26Nathan Fillion is just such a likable actor. He really elevates everything he's in.
- merdiesel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17Definitely one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood.
- TiMMY8765, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10I heard he was being considered for Kirk in the new Star Trek prequel. Could just be a rumor though.
- Tal71, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4It's totally just a rumour - but wow, I can't think of anything better! Although, my concern is the subject matter of the proposed movie will mean it doesn't do very well which of course wouldn't be good for our cappy
- Charcoal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3That would be one of the most awesome things ever.
- chubbybubba, on 10/10/2007, -9/+1It's his name. I'm a fan but I have to admit his name is just odd sounding..... Nathan Fillion... you know what I mean!
- zybch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No.
- TheHolyFinger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Well written article. Fillion is a great actor. While I want to see more Firefly and Serenity, I'd like to see him in many, many more roles as well.
- schrutefan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12"...but it seems like the actor's recurring role as Caleb on Buffy the Vampire Slayer is what opened a lot of options for Fillion.
The collaboration with Joss Whedon led to Nathan Fillion's Big Break #1: The lead role on a sci-fi western series called Firefly."
Nope, he was cast on Buffy as a consolation prize after Firefly was cancelled. Any fan of his would know this...- mistermoxy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Yeah, but he managed to get his trademark "Huh?" in. Cracks me up every time.
- Protoss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I thought he was pretty good in Drive, I only saw the pilot, but it seemed like a good show....course it was cancelled.
- jazzjeff, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Aye...bloody Fox again!!! Bastards.
- ChristBehemoth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2he's a great actor no doubt!
- TheHolyFinger, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0I'm 99% sure that Nathan had a one time role on Buffy before Firefly was even made. After Firefly got canned, he was back for another few episodes.
- charityjustice, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0If he did it wasn't as Caleb as the author of this article wrote. Caleb was given to Nathan after Firefly was axed.
If he had some other oneshot role in Buffy I'm not recalling it, nor does IMDB if it matters to anyone. All thats listed is his Caleb role.
- charityjustice, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0If he did it wasn't as Caleb as the author of this article wrote. Caleb was given to Nathan after Firefly was axed.
- Nowheredan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Only thing wrong with that article is that it says that his work on Buffy as Caleb led to Firefly - it's actually the other way around. The Buffy episodes he was in didn't air until after Firefly was canceled.
- cyberghost232, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Fox ***** him. The End.
- zybch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Like they seem to ***** everything else thats good and fun.
- staticblake, on 10/10/2007, -0/+25"Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me"....Jesus I wish that show was still on.
- MoonDogAFO, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Welcome to my cell ring tone :-)
- Gizza, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Hehe, mine too. Which got confusing when I went to a mates place and it was his ring tone also.
- mistermoxy, on 10/10/2007, -4/+0Loved the show, HATED the song. I think that song put a lot of views off. I mean come on, instrumental opening, it's always worked for Joss before.
- mdeppi01, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1I'm going to agree with mistermoxy.. When I rented the DVDs of the series I had to skip the intro.. It created an urge I had never felt before.. the urge to murder someone.
- MoonDogAFO, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Welcome to my cell ring tone :-)
- somnambulator, on 10/10/2007, -0/+29 I agree, he's a great actor, but my biggest gripe is: Why the f**k is every series I really like - firefly, dead like me, etc - pulled off the air???
I'm a reasonably intelligent guy. I hate sport, reality TV is just mind-numbing, talent contests are getting repetitive, soaps send me to sleep and every time something creative and edgy comes along they pull the bloody thing.
'Heroes' was good - ending was crap.
'Lost' was good - haven't seen series three yet.
'Firefly' was excellent - probably the best characters in a TV series I have ever seen. Pulled with years left in it.
'Dead like me' was excellent - one of the most entertaining 'death' stories I''ve seen. Pulled and left totally unresolved!!
Even a low budget show like 'Surface' started to get really interesting and then CANNED.
Am I part of some loser demographic?? that should be happy with retard TV. The stuff made to keep the dribbling hoards entertained?
Pheww - that's my spleen vented!- HappyScrappy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Dead Like Me was incredible. It'd be a perfect fit for the fantasy style that is huge now on TV.
It was SLIGHTLY resolved though, they handled Reggie's weird obsession with toilet seats (the toilet seat tree) and the last words spoken on the show were "It's not so bad, being dead like me", which is a small amount of wrap up, although nothing like what the show deserved. - stacky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Yes you are intelligent. But the majority of people aren't and thus enjoy shows like The Biggest Loser and Big Brother.
- Ivalaine, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4surface was great. and was constantly in the top 3 shows on tv.com so it must ave been rating pretty well.
- Mishkin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5same here. I just can't believe the general 'american public' would pucker up for another atrocious season of American Idol (are we on like 8th season now?) or Super Nanny or America's Top Model instead of intelligent shows like you mentioned. It makes you wonder what the ***** is wrong with the general population that watch TV...
- Drevor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4If you liked Dead Like Me you might want to check out Pushing Daisies [ http://www.tv.com/pushing-daisies/show/68663/summary.html ]
(The pilot is available through the usual Intertubes.) - t.toe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3"Surface" was low-budget? But it had a recurring all-CG character. How was it low-budget?
- HappyScrappy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Dead Like Me was incredible. It'd be a perfect fit for the fantasy style that is huge now on TV.
- Urusai, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Sure is a lot of man-man love going on around here...
- zybch, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I think most of us would bend over and pucker up if Nathan asked.
- cr0m300, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Slither was a great flick. I feel like it might have been marketed wrong. It's a pretty silly movie(though probably not for the squeamish) and I think the advertisements made it seem like it was just another mediocre movie striving for the highest gross out value possible.
The movie has some subtle humor(the kind of stuff that Nathan Fillion was known for on Firefly) and I don't think that the role couldn't have been cast better. Most "action stars" would have played the role too serious and someone like Bruce Campbell could have pushed an already over the top movie a little too far. - phazon88, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Yeah I'm quite sure he was in Buffy after Firefly got cancelled. I don't see what's so important about Nathon Fillion though that it makes the front page. We all have our favourite actors. I'm disappointed that Sarah Michelle Gellar can't get any good acting roles, when she's proved in Buffy that she's quite a great actor. Ah well apparently one of the new movies she's appearing in may be her big break, with rumor that she may snag an Oscar or Golden Globe nomination.
- theangryangel, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0"Actress", to be irritating.
- mistermoxy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"Actor" to be PC
- theangryangel, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0"Actress", to be irritating.
- TheToecutter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I find it funny that there's a movie ad for the asstastic Jet Li at the top of this page about Nathan. There's no ***** justice in Hollyweird.
- illuzionmod, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0I know that you arent comparing a legend like Jet Li a man who has been pumping out great martial art flicks for 20 years or more to Nathan Fillion. You need to get your head checked. Nathan is a cult followers wet dream just like Bruce Campbell. The cool actors who just never make it big.
Just leave Jet out of if you're just making yourself sound ***** stupid.- whatthejish, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1well, to be fair, nearly all of Li's american films suck
...hardcore
- whatthejish, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1well, to be fair, nearly all of Li's american films suck
- mistermoxy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0That's mighty bold talk coming from someone with a Mad-Max based handle. Are you turning your back on your hardcore action roots?
- illuzionmod, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0I know that you arent comparing a legend like Jet Li a man who has been pumping out great martial art flicks for 20 years or more to Nathan Fillion. You need to get your head checked. Nathan is a cult followers wet dream just like Bruce Campbell. The cool actors who just never make it big.
- thomasoa, on 10/10/2007, -5/+2He has a tiny little head, which makes it harder to read and fit in frame with other faces.
Just a guess, but quite a lot of big movie stars have (physically) big heads. - h2g242, on 10/10/2007, -10/+1why so i care? how did this make front page?
- zybch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Why did you click on it?
- illuzionmod, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Why so you care? Maybe so you can *****
- ph00tbag, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I'm not sure I'm incredibly pleased about him showing up on Desperate Housewives (how I loathe that show). Knowing his track record, the show will probably (finally) get canceled, but that would mean more of Fillion getting screwed over. Either that, or he'll make the show actually bearable. One can only hope.
- AzMegladon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1First!
- allisonaxe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10they should have cast Nathan Fillion as Indiana Jones in the new movie, he has the same "heroic everyman" look that harrison ford did when he was young.
- fugazied, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Its the "Fillion kiss of death!"
Good actor for sure, hes especially good with dry humour. Would love to see him in a flat out comedy. And yes.... I miss firefly too :( - nearlygod, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4He was great in Two Guys, A Girl, And A Pizza Place. A very underrated comedy that was better than any current comedy not named The Office.
- mistermoxy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Wow, that show sucked hard except for Ryan Reynolds. And yet, I think I agree with you about it being better than most of the sit-coms on now. 30 minute comedy is in a sad-sad state today.
- hightower77, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Spare
- Cozmcphish, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Hey Nathan Fillion, Bruce Campbell called, he wants you to stop stealing his parts.
- dryden555, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Fillion reminds me of what happened to David Duchovny after X-files. He wont get a big break in a movie to put him in the mainstream. He'll get older and hence less marketable to hollywood. Then some TV pilots with him in the "Dad" role. Then that's about it for the career, unless there's a completely by chance role that comes along. He was 100% great as the captain in Firefly and I hope he gets a good role in a major film.
- octophobic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Up until the end of the White Noise 2 trailer I was pretty excited. When I realized it was a sequel I was pretty disappointed - I definitely want to see him in more original productions.
- Tal71, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0it's only kind of a sequel - it really has nothing to do witht he first one - and is certainly worth watching/owning if you're a fan of Nathan's work because he's pretty much the whole movie and does his usual awesome job
- octophobic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'll definitely see it eventually but maybe through Netflix instead of at the theater. Movies with certain actors I'll take a chance on.

- kingyubba, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Kevin Smith needs to hire Nathan Fillion for every movie he does. i think the two would make a great combo.
- jponah, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I second that! I was thinking the other day that Nathan should be in a Kevin Smith movie.
- TVarmy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Why is it that anime nerds and sci-fi nerds have all the subculture power? All I want is all 325 episodes of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman on DVD. Don't even need to hire any actors or write anything for that. Sony is just sitting on the tapes.
Oh, and Waitress was a great movie. Yes, I am a guy. - esquire360, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2agree, man he is a great actor, hope he gets his recognition, nothing in the verse should stop him... except wingnut executives
You can't stop the signal - bat-21, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Nathan is going to be on One Life to Live's 10,000th episode this Friday.
- greeneyedmama, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1God, I need so more Captain Reynolds in my life!
- andsoitgoes42, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I love the guy, he kicks - 2 guys, a Girl and a Pizza place was awesome and that's what hooked me on him. But he, like Paula Marshall (not specifically comparing the 2, although I do love her) just seem to never be able to get the amazing breaks.
But then - if he's happy, should we be happy that he's got a very dedicated fanbase that will watch ANYTHING for him? I hate Kerri Russel (sp?) and I'll see Waitress just for him. - sfonative, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0My wife says to me several weeks ago, "Do you want to see Waitress?" Keri Russell? I am so there. (Except for MI3 -- just couldn't do it.)
Mr. Fillion was excellent casting in the movie and really made his part well.
Wishing him the best. - jazzjeff, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Having met the guy (and the Firefly/Serenity cast) a few times, I can personally say he is a great bloke and personality-wise is a very fun guy.
You can see our pics here: http://www.theruddsite.com/familyalbum.html
He is way, way under rated. He is much better than what is going around in Hollywood these days.
...and yes, FOX SCREWED HIM!!! - Vitala, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This actor has done a number of great acting performances (not saying the scripts or material were always top-notch, but his acting certainly is!) Makes me wonder what would have happened to say, Harrison Ford or Tom Hanks if they had been marginalized instead of capitalized upon as they were. Nathan Fillion is, in my opinion and many others, just as fine an actor as either of the two above named superstars (both of whom I completely enjoy watching and respect their abilities). Great article, thanks for posting it!
