I first noticed Nathan Fillion in "Two Guys and a Girl". Although not the nest sitcom, it did have a lot of very talented actors and Nathan Fillion was one of them. He can pull off being nice, funny and terifying all at the same time! In "Two Guys and a Girl" I remember both the main characters being very scared of him at one point or another after they'd upset him. But that was just because he was a big guy who could kick their asses. And the way he played it was scary, but very funny. In Firefly he was a different kind of nice, funny and terifying all at the same.

This time he was a guy who would kill you where you stood if he wanted to. His delivery of the dozens of excellent lines was brilliant, but it was his onscreen presence that made him seem like a captain who should be both admired and, at times, feared. After Firefly was cancelled he had a small role as arguably the most terrifying character of all time on Buffy! And he still played it with a slighty comedic twist which worked to make it even more scary!

Obviously there's a lot more to his career than just these two shows. His newly cancelled show Drive and a very memorable guest appearence on Lost are two of his most recent appearences. Again in both of these he was class. And we can't forget his small part as Private Ryan in "Saving Private Ryan" (he was the other one). He had to play being distrought and then releived in one scene, whilst keeping it slightly funny, but believable. Not an easy thing to ask of a main character, let alone someone with a very small part!

For such a great actor it is a shame that his shows keep getting cancelled, none of which were through any fault of his own. This man deserves a strong leading role and any show should be glad to have him.
