Nathan Fillion/Funny

• Serenity Con 2007: Nathan straightens out Alan Tudyk about just what was said about the possibility of a sequel to Serenity.

Nathan: Listen; Alan is a wealth of information, most of it false. If you want to know the real deal about Alan Tudyk there's only one person you can ask, and that's me.

• San Diego Comic Con 2010: At a Castle panel, Nathan (and Stana Katic) do a Dramatic Reading of "Richard Castle's" book Nikki Heat. And it's the sex scene between Nikki Heat (modeled after Stana/Beckett) and Jameson Rook (modeled after Nathan/Castle). Hilarity Ensues.
• One of Nathan's best stories (and trust me, he has many great ones) is how he managed to get out of a speeding ticket. He was on his way to a set one day when he got pulled over for speeding and the cop came up to the car and Nathan pleaded with the guy to give him a break. The cop actually does because he recognizes that Nathan is an actor and says he'll give him a pardon if he gets an autograph. Ecstatic, Nathan whips out a pen and paper and starts writing to the cop while said cop dials up his wife and exclaims, "Baby, you'll never guess who I just pulled over! JASON BATEMAN!" And not missing a beat, Nathan signed his name as "Jason Bateman" and went on his merry way. Bam, said the lady.
  • Subsequently, a scene in Castle has his character briefly mistaken for Jason Bateman.
• If you still don't believe Nathan is Fun Personified, take a gander at the Serenity Behind the Scenes Feature.
• Three words: Google. Maps. Pose.
  • Explained in context here.
• On his hit show Castle, the titular Castle does not know who is dad is. At Comic Con 2010, someone asked whom Nathan would like to play Castle's dad. This is the result.
• This.
