			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img vspace="5" align="right" width="300" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/wash22475.JPG" hspace="5" alt="Wash" style="width: 300px" title="Wash" />I&#8217;ve heard Creation Entertainment is Evil, and also that they managed to put on a pretty darn decent Firefly/Serenity convention in 2007.  Most of their merchandise available online falls into the <em>Yes, We Noticed You Have a License (or, The Serenity Logo Plastered on Stuff) </em>category, but they have one offering I think is pretty darn cool and worthy of sharing with you.</p>
<p>They have produced 8&#215;10 photo collages for Mal, Wash, Simon, Inara, and River.  I&#8217;m not overly fond of the River one, but the others are just gorgeous, and the tiny thumbnails don&#8217;t do them justice.  No idea how long they&#8217;ll last, but they also have a few signed versions of these under Autographs as well, including some signed by Nathan Fillion.</p>
<p>They come carefully packed and protected in shipping, and not only is the graphic design excellent, the print quality is nice and sharp.  I like these because among other things, they are something you could get autographed by an actor that would look really good on your wall, if you so chose. </p>
<p><strong><a target="_blank" href="http://serenityverse.com/firefly/our-very-own-firefly-serenity-product-rating-system/"><font color="#b22222">Rating:</font></a></strong>  <strong>Worth The Cashy Money</strong></p>
<p><strong>Approximate Price:</strong> $6.00 without autograph, Nathan autographs $32.50, other character autographs $18.00.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Those who bought Serenity Found already know about Nathan&#8217;s delightful essay, but here&#8217;s a special treat for those who don&#8217;t have it (yet)&#8230;.the chance to read it online!  It&#8217;s posted in Wendy Matheson&#8217;s USA Today blog &#8211; <a target="_blank" href="http://blogs.usatoday.com/popcandy/2007/11/exclusive-excer.html" title="Read Nathan Fillion's Serenity Found Essay">click to read.</a></p>
<p>A brief exerpt:</p>
<p><em>Though for only moments at a time, I could be Mal. I couldn’t help it. You’ve got everyone dressed up, in the cargo bay, looking at, talking to, and treating me like I’m the captain. There were strange moments, weird suspended seconds when I bought it all. If you have ever watched an episode and felt a connection with a character, felt he was speaking to you, or for a moment were somehow transported and felt you were on the ship listening to the conversation beside you &#8212; that’s the feeling. Those instants that take you away, pull you in. I WAS THERE. I lived those moments. I got my ass saved by Zoe so many times. I mooned over Inara. I hit Jayne with a wrench. There were moments I could believe it. You’d have believed it, too, thanks to Joss. Looking at Kaylee, I could tell what kind of man Mal was. Speaking to Zoe, I could tell what kind of leader Mal was. Arguing with Wash and Jayne, I knew the limits of Mal’s patience. They made me Mal. Looking back, I know now that everyone in the cast was, in essence, his or her character. What makes Jayne so Jayne, is that Adam is a Jayne. Jewel is a free spirit who was cast as a free spirit. Alan is a clever smart ass who questions authority. Ron once gave me the shirt off his back (true story &#8212; still a favorite of mine), Gina is alluring and powerful, Morena is elegant, Summer is grace, Sean owes me money. Off camera, I was able to spend my days with these people, and on camera, with their characters. I got to have them as friends twice.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" width="250" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/uk_poster.jpg" /></span> Nathan is back in theaters with the paranormal horror film White Noise: the Light. The story focuses around a man (Fillion) who tries to kill himself after the tragic death of his family.About the film, Nathan explains, &#8220;What happens in White Noise 2 is that, due to a tragic, tragic event, my wife and son are murdered in front of me. I get so depressed that I commit suicide. But I’m brought back after that near death experience. I’ve seen the white light, I’ve seen my family and then I’m pulled back. After that, I find I have the ability to, in a crowd of people, see who’s going to die. They glow white. I’ll see a trail towards people marked for death. Here’s this man who felt so helpless and foolish that he didn’t react sooner to save his wife and son…here he is trying to redeem himself.&#8221;</p>
<p>Since this is already a fan-biased review, I will admit to another bias: I despise horror movies. I have voluntarily watched only two of them in my life: Slither and White Noise: The Light. Fortunately, WNTL does not seek to horrify the viewer. For all its supernatural elements, the story told is a human one and while ultimately sad, it carries with it a beauty and tenderness that I wouldn&#8217;t expect to find in a movie of this genre.</p>
<p>WNTL is not inherently frightening; some might level that as a criticism, but to me that is a very good thing. The supernatural element, images of dead people, and some startling sound effects plant it in the horror category, but the film itself is not horrific. It lets human drama (admittedly that of the supernatural kind) move the viewer rather than resorting to cheap horrors. Instead, it builds suspense the better and more difficult way: by setting up characters you care about and setting them on the road to a conclusion you earnestly hope they can avoid.</p>
<p>Katee Sackhoff plays a plucky nurse who treats Abe when he wakes up in the hospital after his near-death experience. Circumstances throw the two back together, and they form an endearing and believable relationship.</p>
<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" width="300" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/normal_PDVD_000%7E1.JPG" /></span> Nobody plays tormented men better than happy, easygoing Fillion, and he proves it yet again through many heart-wrenching scenes. He looks in the mirror with such bravely vulnerable sadness at one point that you simply can&#8217;t help loving and feeling for Abe.</p>
<p>When asked about his character, Nathan said, &#8220;He’s a more vulnerable character than I’ve ever played before. He’s just a man; he’s not a soldier. He’s a Web designer, not a hero.”</p>
<p>One of the special things about Nathan is his ability to react in ways that are unique, but impeccably human. When his character&#8217;s car is suddenly surrounded by zombie-like ghosts, he doesn&#8217;t gasp, scream, throw his hands up, jump, or follow any such movie-character conventions. He yells &#8220;Jes-&#8221; and <em>squirms</em> in his seat. It&#8217;s such a different and believable reaction that you actually relate; you can see yourself doing exactly that.</p>
<p>I remember one message board post (about Fillion&#8217;s performance in Serenity) commenting that even his Adam&#8217;s apple conveys emotion. Well, when he hugs Katee&#8217;s character during one emotional moment, his face is not even visible: the depth of his feelings is shown with utmost clarity by the telltale waver of his hand.</p>
<p>This is Nathan&#8217;s movie; It&#8217;s a rare scene that Fillion isn&#8217;t in, as a matter of fact. Nathan&#8217;s acting is beautiful, and so is he. There is a hilarious and unmistakable reference to Firefly that had me grinning my little Mal-adoring browncoated heart out. Well played, and thank you. That was fun.</p>
<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" width="300" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/normal_Abe47.jpg" /></span> Abe is a very good man: a loving husband and father, a decent and understanding soul, and a brave protector. You want him to do well, therefore the film&#8217;s premise is inherently sad. Abe&#8217;s good deeds have unforeseen consequences, and if there is something I don&#8217;t like about the film, it&#8217;s the anti-heroic ethic.</p>
<p>The concept that one should not play God is one I can agree with; the concept that a good and decent man should be given the ability to save lives only later to discover devastating consequences I find profoundly unfair. It blames a good man for things done with only the best of intentions.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s an aspect I can nudge myself into overlooking, though. The film&#8217;s strength is not in its details of plot, but in its emotion and storytelling. Nathan and his costar Katee Sackhoff have lovely on-screen chemistry, and Nathan&#8217;s brooding, emotional performance will touch your heart. In fact, WN:TL reminds me a bit of Firefly in its ability to establish in the viewer a genuine caring for the characters.</p>
<p>The climactic scenes are remarkable not for their horror, but for their sadness and love. There is a gentle beauty to the final scenes that makes the whole film worthwhile. The conclusion of the story is a worthy one (Although I&#8217;m not so happy about the final few seconds) and well handled.</p>
<p>WNTL is a skillfully crafted and beautifully acted story. Perhaps not one I would ultimately choose to tell, but one I can nod to with respect and say, &#8220;well done, friends.&#8221;</p>
<p>The verdict? Fans should run out and buy it. Right now. You won&#8217;t regret it, trust me!</p>
<h2>Where to find White Noise: The Light</h2>
<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" width="300" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/normal_Abe72.jpg" /></span> White Noise: The Light has not yet been released theatrically or on DVD in the US. It has enjoyed theatrical release in several other countries, and is available on DVD in the UK and Australia. It is unclear at this time whether WNTL will get a theatrical release in the US.</p>
<p>If you live in the US or another country where WNTL is not available, you can import the DVD from the <a target="new" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/White-Noise-Light-Katee-Sackhoff/dp/B000MQCBQ8">UK</a> or <a target="new" href="http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/793243">Australia</a>. These DVDs will have different reigon encoding than US DVDs, and will not play in a standard DVD player. You may be able to hack your DVD player (do a google search for reigon hacks), purchase a reigon-free DVD player, or in some cases you will be able to play the DVD on your computer.</p>
<p>Looking for a WNTL fan site? Head on over to my friend&#8217;s beautifully designed site <a target="new" href="http://www.whitenoisethelight.net/">www.whitenoisethelight.net</a>.</p>

Here&#8217;s a very sincere tip of the hat to a wonderful actor who seems to be the rarest thing in Hollywood: an even better human being.</p>
<p>This entirely unofficial fan page is partially a tribute to my favorite actor, partially a resource for fellow fans, and just maybe it&#8217;ll come in handy for those who&#8217;ve seen Nathan in something and taken to the net wondering &#8220;Who is this guy, and what else can I see him in?&#8221; Keep an eye open&#8230;I plan to expand this page as time permits!</p>
<h2>About Nathan Fillion</h2>
<p>A superstar in the making, Nathan Fillion has it all: incredible acting talent and the ability to make viewers connect emotionally with his characters, naturally captivating good looks, a magnetic personality, and the intelligence and humanity to make it all mean something.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s played a wide range of roles: a soldier in Saving Private Ryan, a space captain in the beloved sci-fi series Firefly, a police officer in Slither and Lost, a man racing to find his missing wife on Drive, a writer in Water&#8217;s Edge, a romantic lead in Waitress&#8230;..and the list goes on.</p>
<p>Nathan&#8217;s innate kindness, strong work ethic, and ready humor have earned him the love of his fans, the respect of his directors and co-workers, and the loyalty of his friends.</p>
<p>He has developed an extremely loyal fanbase across the world and is renowned for treating his fans with kindness, respect, and charm, and seems to truly be what few celebrities manage to be: A genuinely nice, together, grounded person.</p>
<h2>Current Projects</h2>
<p>Nathan currently has one movie, White Noise: The Light awaiting release in the US, and he&#8217;s filming for the upcoming season of Desperate Housewives. For more about these projects, see below:</p>
<h2>Desperate Housewives</h2>
<p>Nathan&#8217;s coming to Wisteria Lane! He&#8217;s been cast as a series regular on the popular TV show Desperate Housewives, where he will play the younger husband of another new character (played by actress Dana Delany). Let&#8217;s hope it&#8217;s a major role for Nathan.</p>
<h2>White Noise: The Light (Abe Dale)</h2>
<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" width="300" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/wn5.jpg" /></span>The story focuses around a man (Fillion) who tries to kill himself after the tragic murder of his family.</p>
<p>About the film, Nathan explains, &#8220;What happens in White Noise 2 is that, due to a tragic, tragic event, my wife and son are murdered in front of me. I get so depressed that I commit suicide. But I’m brought back after that near death experience. I’ve seen the white light, I’ve seen my family and then I’m pulled back.

<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" width="300" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/waitress_nathan_keri.jpg" /></span>This independent film by Adrienne Shelly was screened at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007 and received by widespread critical acclaim. The picture was acquired for distribution by Fox Searchlight.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t had the pleasure of seeing the movie yet, nor do I know anyone personally who has. It sounds like a gentle romantic comedy, where a pregnant, unhappily married waitress develops a relationship with her gynecologist (Fillion) and finds her way to a more fulfilling life. Certainly a new type of role for Nathan, and just the sort of romantic lead I&#8217;ve always hoped to see him in.</p>

<h2>Drive (Alex Tully)</h2>
<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" width="300" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/normal_alexdrive_39-carint-nathan_05_rlyv2f.jpg" /></span></p>
<p>Nathan is Alex Tully, a &#8220;ruggedly handsome blue-collar nursery owner,&#8221; entrapped in a high-stakes underground car race in Tim Minear (Firefly, Wonderfalls, Angel)&#8217;s short-lived Fox television show Drive.</p>
<p>In an interview with USA today, Tim Minear said, &#8220;The race is a secret, so the race itself, I guess you could say, is a conspiracy. And not all the participants in said race are there of their own free will … Every character has either a desperate reason or a mysterious reason to race that will be revealed over the course of the episodes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Everyone has a different reason for competing in the race: for Tully, the motive is to recover his kidnapped wife. Fillion plays Tully with a dangerous intensity in a role that showcases his powerful acting ability. Sadly, Drive was cancelled early and only six episodes were ever filmed.</p>

<h2>Lost (Sgt. Kevin Callis) (2006)</h2>
<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" width="350" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/normal_PDVD_092.JPG" /></span> Nathan gets an adorable turn as a police officer from Kate&#8217;s past in the mega-hit TV show Lost. His character, a much happier, mellower sort than he usually plays, falls in love with and marries Kate, who of course, suddenly yet inevitably betrays him. Well written and acted, this episode was great mainstream exposure for Nathan&#8217;s talent and good looks. Let&#8217;s face it &#8211; Nathan in a uniform is a very&#8230; <em>pleasing</em> sight!</p>
<p>So far, Nathan has appeared in only one episode, but was originally rumored to have been cast in two. I guess we&#8217;ll just have to wait until the show starts airing again to find out the real story. The storyline of his character is such that it could be considered complete, but I could also see it being expanded.</p>
<h2>Slither (Bill Pardy) (2006)</h2>
<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" width="300" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/normal_sherifnate.jpg" /></span>Nathan shines as the likable small-town police chief who has to save the world in this gross-out horror comedy. He plays the affable, not terribly heroic hero in distress to perfection, becoming a relatable and lovable good guy we walk through the film side by side with. One of Nathan&#8217;s talents as an actor is invoking empathy in the viewer, an ability shown to perfection in Firefly and Serenity. He pulls it off in a different but equally effective manner in Slither.</p>
<p>Bill Pardy doesn&#8217;t always know what to do to save the day, but he&#8217;s game to try and ultimately succeed. He&#8217;s not the most stoic of souls, but he&#8217;s brave enough to save those who need saving, fight who he has to fight, and keep going to the slimy end.</p>
<h2>Serenity (Mal &#8211; Captain Malcolm Reynolds) (2005)</h2>
<p>Do I even need to bother to write about this one? Nathan. Mal. Dashing space captain with a brown coat and a slany gunbelt. Movie based on Firefly. Do I really need to keep writing here? If you&#8217;re reading this page, I think not. Nonetheless, when I have time I&#8217;ll wax poetical a bit since I can&#8217;t bear to see my entry on &#8220;Serenity&#8221; shorter than &#8220;Pasadena.&#8221;</p>
<h2>Pasadena (Rev. Glenn Collins) (2005)</h2>
<p>Nathan appears in a few episodes of this very soapy soap opera. There&#8217;s really no reason to watch this aside from the sheer pleasure of seeing Nathan on screen. He plays a pastor who becomes briefly embroiled in an affair with a married woman. Die-hard fans will want to track this down and watch it, others will just as happily miss the agonizingly trite and dramatic writing.</p>
<h2>Outing Riley (Luke)</h2>
<p>This movie is not available on DVD (or even VHS), and it seems that very few people on earth have actually seen it. <a target="new" href="http://efilmcritic.com/review.php?movie=10922">efilmcritic</a> has a review which reads, in part: <em>&#8220;Outing Riley does slowly overcome its frequent stumbling blocks and settles in thanks in part to nice work from McDonald and particularly Nathan Fillion as Bobby’s closest brother, Luke. Fillion actually played the first, mistaken Private Ryan in Spielberg’s epic and here really shines as the Riley clown who gets hurt so deeply that his brother couldn’t at least confide in him. He has a bright future in the business.&#8221;</em></p>
<h2>Miss Match (Adam Logan) (6 episodes, 2003)</h2>
<p>Can&#8217;t review this one &#8211; haven&#8217;t seen it &#8211; yet.</p>
<h2>Water&#8217;s Edge (Robert Graves) (2003)</h2>
<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" width="300" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/normal_we94.JPG" alt="Nathan" /></span> Water&#8217;s Edge is a somewhat obscure thriller starring Nathan. While the movie isn&#8217;t one of the world&#8217;s best, it has an absolutely fantastic performance by Nathan that I think nobody should miss. Thrilllers aren&#8217;t my kind of movie, but this one I own:)</p>
<p>Nathan&#8217;s performance actually gave what could have been a forgettable movie some very moving moments. I&#8217;ve pretty much decided that anything Nathan&#8217;s in where he isn&#8217;t playing a bad guy, I want to see even if it&#8217;s not my kind of movie.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s quite watchable even if you aren&#8217;t into thrillers; it gets unpleasantly intense at times but we&#8217;ve all seen worse in Serenity. There&#8217;s nothing truly horrific in it. It&#8217;s quite a decent, engaging movie. The writing isn&#8217;t the greatest, but not bad either. It seems more human than a lot of thrillers, and it ends well.</p>
<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: right; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img width="300" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/we53111.JPG" /></span> Nathan was wonderful in it and plays a very likable, upstanding guy, miserable and under a huge strain most of the time. A little like Mal, come to think of it. Maybe one of these days we&#8217;ll get to see him when he&#8217;s not being hunted, beaten, and shot. It was hard for me to get used to hearing his character called &#8220;Robert&#8221; instead of Mal though!</p>
<p>Nathan manages to once again really make you feel for his character. How can I put this without spoiling the movie for those who haven&#8217;t seen it&#8230;&#8230;..There&#8217;s a scene near the end where &#8220;Robert&#8221; has lost everything and he&#8217;s about to be shot that just hit me in the heart. The way he played that brought tears to my eyes.</p>
<p>Watch it, Nathan fans!</p>
<h2>Firefly (Mal &#8211; Captain Malcolm Reynolds) (2002-2003)</h2>
<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" width="125" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/normal_165816.jpg" /></span>If by some bizarre twist of circumstance you <em>haven&#8217;t</em> seen Firefly, that&#8217;s a wrong that needs to be righted, stat! Nathan plays Malcolm Reynolds, captain of the spaceship Serenity. He&#8217;s not your ordinary hero, and this isn&#8217;t the ordinary sort of science fiction, either. In this brilliantly written series, people act like real (and intelligent) human beings, there is a refreshing absence of aliens, and you&#8217;ll find danger and love, tragedy and humor, good, evil, and every shade in between&#8230;&#8230;and characters you&#8217;ll grow to love with all your heart.</p>
<p>The leader of that crew is Mal&#8230;.a not quite definable anti-hero. The former soldier is hard and uncompromising, outwardly interested only in staying alive and keeping his ship in the air. But Mal is also a man of honor and courage, with deep love and a fierce sense of protectiveness towards his adopted family: the crew of Serenity. This, along with the movie Serenity, are the crown jewels of Nathan&#8217;s career: a wonderful show, brilliantly acted. It simply doesn&#8217;t get any better than Firefly.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.serenityverse.com/nathanasmal.php">Nathan as Mal: A Hero Comes to Life.</a> This is an essay I wrote for a book compiled by my online friends in the Appreciatin&#8217; Nathan group. The completed book, a tribute to Nathan Fillion, was presented to him at B3, the impromptu event that took place when the Flanvention was cancelled at the last minute.</p>
<h2>Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Caleb)</h2>
<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" width="175" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/caleb8973654.jpg" /></span>Caleb, who appeared in the final few episodes of Buffy, is supposed to be the antithesis to Joss Whedon&#8217;s representation of female power. He is a chauvinistic, clever, despicable villain under the control of the First. Nathan played him so well that (this being the first role I had seen him in) I almost considered not seeing Firefly, he was so eerie. Definitely a different role for Nathan and he played it superbly, bringing a dry sense of humor to what is one of the best formulated villains in the Buffy verse (and who could forget his explanation of still wearing preacher garb that &#8220;&#8230;everyone knows black is slimming&#8221;).</p>
<p>Review above courtesy of Pseudo-Aussie Browncoat, because I haven&#8217;t watched this, and I won&#8217;t. Why? Watching my favorite actors play bad guys ruins something for me. I&#8217;m strange, I admit it:)</p>
<h2>Alligator Point (2003)</h2>
<p>To say this series was short-lived would be an understatement! A sort of Cheers-in-the-South comedy, the pilot features Fillion&#8217;s character (a formerly famous race-car driver whose career was ended by a traumatic wreck) as the co-owner of the fishing boat the Happy Hooker. The former co-owner dies and is buried at sea, leaving Fillion&#8217;s character&#8217;s ex-wife half ownership in the boat. She immediately decides the boat should be renamed &#8220;Here Fishy.&#8221;</p>
<p>A bet is soon placed to settle the matter: if Fillion&#8217;s character can get a date on the spot with the stand-offish out of town doctor who just walked into the resturaunt they&#8217;re in, the boat will remain the Happy Hooker. Things get complicated slightly by the buried-at-sea body resurfacing nearby&#8230;..twice! When Fillion&#8217;s character lands the date with the doctor (come on &#8211; Nathan was involved, it was inevitable!), the pilot ends with him leading her out to his boat&#8230;.they just have to bury the body at sea for the third time on the way to that romantic date.</p>
<p>This show looked like it had potential&#8230;&#8230;it&#8217;s too bad it never got a shot.</p>
<h2>Dracula 2000 (Father David)</h2>
<p>Nathan plays Father David, a likable, intensely devout priest that a main character turns to for counsel in a couple of scenes. Nathan gets very little screen time in this, but he does a good job with it.</p>
<h2>Outer Limits: Star Struck (Michael Ryan) (1999)</h2>
<p>The episode is nothing special: a blatant Casablanca rip-off, only more grotesque, it&#8217;s almost painful to watch&#8230;&#8230;.until Nathan lights up the screen. One day this man will get more of the quality roles he deserves; in the meantime we fans gotta take what we can get, and watching Nathan&#8217;s character is the saving grace of this hour of television. We get action, witty comments, tension, and a tenderly passionate sex scene that (for female fans at any rate) makes the whole mess worth watching.</p>
<h2>Blast From the Past (Cliff) (1999)</h2>
<p>Nathan has a small role in this lighthearted comedy as Cliff, a bratty ex-boyfriend. He gets screen time in several brief scenes; it&#8217;s certainly a bit part but the movie&#8217;s a pretty enjoyable watch overall as well. He&#8217;s handsome as ever but not particularly likable, however in my opinion just about anything Nathan&#8217;s in is worth watching.</p>
<h2>Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place (Johnny Donnelly) (1998-2001)</h2>
<p>Nathan was a series regular starting in season two of this comedy, which also starred Ryan Reynolds. The show is not yet available on DVD, but an internet search will reveal people selling home-burned DVD sets of dubious legality. I&#8217;ll be getting my paws on a not-very-legitimate copy soon and I promise to post back.</p>
<h2>Saving Private Ryan (The Wrong Ryan) (1998)</h2>
<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/wrongryan.jpg" /></span>Yes, that&#8217;s right, Nathan was in it! He plays &#8220;the wrong Ryan;&#8221; an unfortunate young soldier who is mistakenly informed that his brothers are dead. It&#8217;s a small but very good part. Fillion is the master of the stunned, heartbroken expression, and he puts that skill to good use here.</p>
<h2>Spin City (1996)</h2>
<p>Nathan made an uncredited guest appearance on the TV comedy series Spin City. Sadly, I haven&#8217;t seen it. Now if they&#8217;d ever get around to releasing more than four measly DVDs of this delightfully funny show, that&#8217;d change. Hint hint.</p>

I think not. <em>Hero: the future of gods, icons and heroes</em> is a brilliant art exhibit currently being previewed online. Nathan Fillion is the face of a new breed of hero, one displaying strength without force. Its creator is artist Martin Firrell, known for his provocative, word-based public art pieces. The project is an &#8220;attempt to define a new kind of heroism,&#8221; and Martin chose Nathan to exemplify this new breed of kinder, gentler hero.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" width="300" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/normal_alexdrive_39-carint-nathan_05_rlyv2f.jpg" /></span></p>
<p>Firefly writer Tim Minear and actor Nathan Fillion (&#8220;Mal&#8221;) once again teamed up on a Fox TV show, Drive. That&#8217;s right, Fox, the very same network that cancelled Firefly prematurely&#8230;..and history repeated itself when Fox cancelled Drive after only four episodes. Firefly fans embraced the launch of Minear&#8217;s new show, which combined action, character drama, and humor with fast driving, mystery, and, well, Nathan Fillion! Unfortunately, the ratings dissapointed and Fox eliminated Drive.</p>
<p>Drive centers around an illegal, underground cross-country road race shrouded in mystery. Some characters are racing for money&#8230;.others, like Tully racing to save his kidnapped wife, are unwilling participants, but all are desperate to win.</p>
<p>In an interview with USA today, Tim Minear said, &#8220;The race is a secret, so the race itself, I guess you could say, is a conspiracy. And not all the participants in said race are there of their own free will …&#8221; Every character has either a desperate reason or a mysterious reason to race that will be revealed over the course of the episodes.&#8221; Or would have, I mention as I glare at an imaginary Fox executive in my mind.</p>
<p>Nathan Fillion is Alex Tully, a handsome and haunted nursery owner with a dark past. He is coerced into joining the race when his wife is taken captive, and he larns that his only hope of saving her is to win. Fillion&#8217;s performance is captivating; he makes Tully a vastly sympathetic, engaging, powerful character with capacity for deep love and sudden darkness.</p>
<p>Currently, only four episodes of Drive are available for download (on itunes or amazon unbox), but they are well worth your time. Tim Minear and Nathan Fillion are both masters at making one care about their characters, and they work their magic as effectively as ever in Drive.</p>
<h2>Drive Vital Statistics</h2>
<p><strong>Drive air dates and times: </strong>2-night, 3-hour premier aired Sunday April 15 at 8/7c and Monday April 16 at 8/7c. The next episode aired on the subsequent Monday, and then the series was suddenly yet inevitably cancelled.</p>
<p><img align="left" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/antifox.gif" />Two additional episodes have been filmed. Fox first set an air date of July 4th, 2007 for those two, and then&#8230;.cancelled that. They set a new date of July 13th&#8230;.Friday the 13th. Ahhh, the irony.</p>
<p>I think we can all guess what came next for those of us waiting for the July 13th air date. Say it with me&#8230;..Fox cancelled it! Permanently. They no longer plan to air the remaining episodes.</p>
<p><strong>Drive creator, executive producer, and writer:</strong> Tim Minear with Ben Queen</p>
<p><strong>Drive director and executive producer:</strong> Greg Yaitanis</p>
<p><strong>Drive cast members:</strong> Nathan Fillion, Melanie Lynskey, Taryn Manning, Riley Smith, Amy Acker, Rochelle Aytes, Brian Bloom, K Callan, Patrick Fischler, Wayne Grace, Kristin Lehman, and Emma Stone.</p>

It looks like it comes with the character driver&#8217;s licenses along with the band-aids and batteries. Chances are I won&#8217;t be seeing one of these in person unless someone starts considering this website &#8220;press,&#8221; (I still don&#8217;t have a gorram Serenity press kit!) but the picture is cool to look at. There&#8217;s an article about the press kit (which is where I shamelessly yanked the photo from) on <a target="new" href="http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2007/03/drive_press_kit.html">ew.com</a>.</p>
<h2>Drive Jewelry (unofficial!)</h2>
<p><span style="margin-top: 5px; font-size: 60px; background: firebrick; float: left; line-height: 40px; margin-right: 6px; border: black 1px solid; padding: 5px"><img align="left" width="200" src="http://www.serenityverse.com/shop/images/0324071.jpg" /></span>Many of you know me as the Firefly/Serenity jewelry girl, so in the excitement over Drive I couldn&#8217;t resist making up some goodies. I&#8217;m sure more will follow after I get to, you know, actually <em>see</em> the show! You can see it <a href="http://www.serenityverse.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=42">here</a>.</p>
<p>As always, suggestions are welcome. This initial batch was made in the orange/red, black, and white colors of the Drive logo, with driver&#8217;s license and steering wheel charms. I made matching earrings too. The official Drive website and forum seem to be using a bluish color scheme, and I&#8217;m seeing a lot of Alex pictures wearing a blue shirt&#8230;&#8230;so I&#8217;m considering making some in those colors too.</p>
<h2>Drive Websites</h2>
<p><strong><a target="new" href="http://fox.com/drive/">Official Fox Drive Website.</a></strong> Fancy graphics, show details, photos, and all that good stuff.</p>
<p><strong><a target="new" href="http://www.drivefans.com/">DriveFans.com</a></strong> My favorite Drive website, operated and populated by fans many of whom have followed Nathan and Tim&#8217;s careers since the days of Firefly. It has a discussion forum, interviews, photos, promos, and more.</p>
<p><strong><a target="new" href="http://www.drivetherace.com/">Drive The Race.</a></strong> Another good Drive fan site.</p>
<h2>Drive Promotional Photos and Screenshots</h2>
<p>I&#8217;ve started a collection of the promo photos which have Nathan Fillion/Alex Tully in them in my <a href="http://www.serenityverse.com/images/thumbnails.php?album=73">photo gallery</a>. The gallery also contains hundreds of Drive screenshots and a couple of wallpapers.</p>
<p>Promo images including the rest of the cast can be found at <a target="new" href="http://www.drivefans.com/">www.drivefans.com</a>. Here&#8217;s a nice little pic to get your interest up!</p>
