Get your minds out of the gutter people!
I did not mean have you “checked him out” like that! I meant… have you sampled his many television and movie roles? I did not mean in ANY way that he should be used as eye candy! You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Get yourself together people!! 😉
Okay, seriously though- you should check out Nathan Fillion, because he’s played some really interesting and quirky roles. His latest show is on ABC, and is called Castle. And if you’re not familiar with him, you have the perfect chance to see him.
…Want some good gossip from The View? This Monday morning Nathan Fillion is stopping by to see the ladies of The View, during a day of hot topics! You heard it here first:)
So in honor of his View appearance, I thought I’d list 3 fun Nathan Fillion roles, worth checking out! If you missed some of these – netflix them!
1. Firefly. One of the best series..EVAH people. I wasn’t interested in it at first because it seemed all sci-fi, and I’m generally not into that. But it was romantic, poignant, character driven, and just really funny! When my husband and I were dating he lived in Texas, and I lived in NYC. He sent me this series as a gift, and we would both push “play” on our DVD players at the same time, so we could watch it together as a date! And to this day, when I just want to relax and watch some smart writing (Joss Whedon), I put this show on.
2. Waitress – Is a quirky indie movie with Kerri Russell. Kind of an offbeat -but sweet. Kerri Russell is ambivalent about being pregnant, and her current relationship when she meets Fillion, a local doctor. Not a predictable Hollywood storyline.
3. Castle– a show with quick wit, and lots of fast paced banter. Sexual chemistry abounds between the two main characters, a policewoman and a novelist that writes murder mysteries. I also love that Fillion’s character, is a single dad of a teen age daughter,and they have a wonderful relationship! So often TV shows have parents and teenagers at odds, this show breaks that mold.
PS. if your single, or you have an understanding husband, it’s probably OK to notice Nathan Fillion is kinda cute. 😉
*I am a participant in a Mom Central campaign for ABC Daytime and will receive a tote bag or other The View branded items to facilitate my review.
About Shannon SchmidShannon traded in her sensible NYC TV producer shoes (they were best for taking the subway), for a pair of Texas Cowboy boots when she married her best friend! He's at fault for making this Yankee a Texan! Shannon writes about all things that make a house a home. Her chief blogging inspiration is being the proud & slightly neurotic mom of a preschool age daughter.
You can find Shannon on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and her new favorite place to hang out, Google+.
I LOVE Nathan Fillion.. Both because he IS eyecandy :p and because he's such a good actor — so funny!
Teehee, Yes, yes, we have all checked him out in all ways possible. But wow, you must really be checking him out to write a whole blog post on him. LOL! Just kidding!
Have a great weekend!
Fun post!!
I found you through FF and am now following. 🙂

Ok, sorry to burst your bubble, but Nathan Fillion… YUM!!!!! Seriously. I could eat an ice cream bowl full of him! Have I said too much 😉
This is Dawn from Coupon Newbie. Thought I'd check out your blog as well. Very cool! I'll add you to my google reader 🙂
The RSS link to my blog is http://community.livejournal.com/couponnewbie/data/rss
Glad to see you stop by and hope to see you again soon 🙂
Sorry I like the eye candy idea. I love him in Castle and wish I had watched Firefly.
Love, love, LOVED him in Waitress! I've only seen Castle once, recently, and I'm intrigued enough to return! I love that he's handsome, but also quirky! Thanks for the heads up!
Yeah, I've got a man crush on Nathan. He's a guys guy, as competent in action films as he is HI-larious at comedy. Such a bummer Firefly was canceled, but at least he's back in Castle. I noticed you left out his much lauded performances in such classic films as "Slither" and "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog". 😉
Hey! I'm here responding to your Saturday Friday Follow.
I <3 Captain Tightpants… My hubby thinks it's cute that Castle is my must-see TV for the week — but he indulges me and, as a joke, bought me the Rick Castle novel. Yes, such a thing exists… I'm a new follower!

Fillion's great. Might even be enough reason for a guy like me to tune into The View. Well, maybe not. 😉 Here's the opening clip of Castle with a little bit of Firefly mixed in: "Captain Mal Returns to TV". Excellent blog as always! BTW, I linked to you from my new blog: A Daddy Blog.

Thank you for visiting with me and I am a new follower too!
Off to read more on your blog.
Hey, thanks for visiting my blog and for becoming a follower. I am slow getting around to them and of course can't get to them all on Friday Follow.
Have a great Sunday…I'm off to church this morning!

It really bugs me when shows make the teen-parent relationship worse than it needs to be. One of the major reasons I quit letting my kids watch the Disney channel.
Yes. Disney. Watch a few of the shows that aren't cartoons and look at the dynamics. Parents, people of authority are stupid, disrespected and it's totally ok. Meanwhile the kids are all smart-mouth brainiacs constantly at war with their siblings. Very snarky writing IMHO.
And yes, the man is rather nice on the eyes.
