 Time for me to Drive to my Castle so I can experience some Serenity watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. "I'm a dork. I collect comic books. I still love cartoons. I'd rather be at home on a Friday night playing D&D than hanging out in some loud, overcrowded club. My sense of humor is that of a geek. My likes and dislikes are those of a geek. I've memorized the dialogue of every crappy sci-fi movie there is, but I still haven't seen Schindler's List." Nathan Fillion is a Canadian TV and movie actor who started off in the soaps. Since then, he's moved on to a number of famous roles, including (but not limited to):— Nathan Fillion
 and is very good at making Memetic Mutation Catch Phrases such as "Bam, said the lady" and "Feed the birds." Both have had cameos on his hit show Castle (as well as "Double Rainbow", a meme that he didn't start.)A few of his characters can be morally questionable or bordering jerkass territory, but he's a really nice guy in person. And quite a comedian.Speaking of Firefly, he said in a recent interview that if he had $300 million, he'd buy the rights to Firefly'' and make it his own. This being the internet, a brief but passionate movement sprang up to help him do such a thing, but it fell apart due to a lack of official support from Fillion himself and/or Joss Whedon.Bizarrely, he has been mistaken for Jason Bateman several times by both normal people and celebrities alike to the point where it is a Real Life Running Gag. But of course, Nathan takes no offense to it and continues documenting the instances where it happens because he's just that awesome. It might help that on one of those occasions it got him out of a speeding ticket.He was also used as Hal Jordan in a fan trailer for the proposed Green Lantern film, which he thought was awesome. However, he wasn't actually cast in Green Lantern, but he was cast as Green Lantern in the 2011 direct-to-DVD DCAU Green Lantern Emerald Knights. He reprised the role in Justice League: Doom.Similarly, he was in talks to play Captain America, but the role went to Chris Evans. However, he did end up playing a superhero (well, a satirical one anyway) known as The Holy Avenger in Slither director James Gunn's second film Super.He's also begun a Viral Marketing campaign to get himself the role of Nathan Drake. Comment here and help him out!Oh, and he really is ruggedly handsome.Oh, and he kicked Justin Bieber's ass in Halo Reach. According to him it "felt good." Also, there are two exceptions to the statement "Only Bungie employees have flaming heads in Halo 3." Those two are a contest winner and Nathan Fillion.He has dated Tricia Helfer (Number Six in Battlestar Galactica (Reimagined)) in the past, and called it the best date he had ever had when questioned on it by a fan.He's also One of Us. Con-goers pass around a story where a few friends sat down for some Firefly pen-and-paper action. Nathan approached the table and purportedly requested to play as... River. His interactions with fans extend online as well, as evidenced in the following: In early August of 2012, he conducted a question-and-answer session on Reddit. Here's proof for the skeptics that it is/was really him.
