Nathan Fillion




     

    
    
   
     I'm proud to admit that I have a Man Crush on Nathan Fillion.  Ask any real Geek who Nathan Fillion Is and he will be able to answer, of coarse a lot of that has to do with the fact that we claimed Nathan as a fellow Geek because afterall he is. 
     Nathan Fillion is one of Director/Writer Joss Whedon's Goto Guys.  In Fact to be a Geek you must know who Joss Whedon Is Too.  Anyway, Nathan Fillion had a 5 episode Arc on the last season of Buffy as Caleb a Priest who did the bidding of the first evil know as The First.   Next he stared in Firefly as Captain Malcom Reynolds.  Firefly was a Sci-Fi Western that was Cancelled before the first season was finished.  It was a very popular tv show among Joss Whedon fans and a  lot of geeks in general.  It went on to do phenomonal Dvd Sales and because of this and its popularity Joss ended up making a Feature Film based on Firefly called Serenity with the same cast.  Finally among the Joss/Nathan Collaboration was Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog which was a 3-part internet web series created by Joss and starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan, and Felicia Day.
      Nathan  is also a well rounded actor.  He started out in the cast of the TV Comedy Two Guys And A Girl.  He also starred in the Horror Comedy Slither.  He was in the Independent films The Waitress and Trucker, did a season of Desperate Housewives and he currently stars in the Mystery Cop TV show Castle.  Entertainment Weekly named Nathan as one of the 50 Actors That We'd Watch Anything In and if you haven't already I would recommend watching anything that Nathan Fillion has done.  I have this strong feeling that once you do you will either Fall In Love With Nathan or at the very least you will understand why Nathan Fillion is a God among Geeks.
