Nathan Fillion Saves The Day
Guest post written by my buddy Brian Workman
Nathan Fillion has average looks. He isn’t as handsome as a supermodel or packed full of muscles. But his characters make him appear to be the perfect buddy and that’s why I enjoy watching him.
Fillion played a wandering ship captain in Firefly and is a successful author on Castle. While most of his recent works have been on TV, he did do a movie role in Serenity. But he usually tends to play the same kind of character. His characters are almost always likable and charismatic. While they may be rugged and tough, they’re also flawed. Captain Malcolm Reynolds had trust issues at times and Richard Castle is a bit self-centered.
His talents aren’t only limited to the big and silver screens. Fillion has voiced characters for the intensely popular Halo video games. His Halo characters reference his work in Firefly and Serenity.
Although he’s well-known for his acting, Fillion also promotes literacy through Kids Need to Read. The charity helps libraries add to their book collections for a reasonable price.
I always make sure to watch Fillion on Castle with my satellite TV.(www.DirectStarTV.com) I also frequently watch Firefly and Serenity, the projects that made Fillion into a cult hero. With his wide range of appearances and familiar characters, he’s easy to like. I’ll be looking forward to whatever his next project may be.
