Nathan Fillion (Castle, The Rookie) returns to the show this week to reflect back on tenured success across multiple serieses like Castle and The Rookie, along with cult adoration in Firefly and Serenity, leading us to discuss what’s next and what the escape plan is once his run in Hollywood is done.
Nathan shares his secret for positivity in life and his freedom of being in a position to say no rather than taking roles out of need.
We also talk about how adversity brings out one’s true colors, rumors of Firefly reboots, and his experience swimming with sharks.

Nathan Fillion as Malcolm Reynolds is probably one of my favorite performances of all time. God, I miss Firefly!

Nathan's appearance on The Big Bang Theory was good, too. I believe that was the same episode which Howard learned that his mother passed away.

[@geofffleming12]

"Lets agree that if in ten years time neither one of us is married.... We hunt each other for sport." Fillion is just the greatest.

I love how easygoing and friendly Nathan is. Also HILARIOUS ending “Thank you for allowing me to be inside of you once again” Nathan wasn’t even phased by it 🤣🤣😂

[@TheGeekAuthority]

Nathan Fillion is one of the nicest men you'll ever meet. Not only is a talented actor, but he gets his fans and appreciates them. Obviously he has many found friendships from working on Firefly, Castle and The Rookie, but having met and seen him at Comic Con and other venues - I've have to salute his kindness and attentiveness to everyone he meets. Bravo Michael - what an amazingly fun and delightful interview

Except for his whole willingness to overlook Whedon's despicable conduct towards women he worked with, including on Buffy which Nathan was ALSO on.

I love Nathan so much, I did my degree in Creative Writing because of Castle and now I'm a writer for a living and just couldn't imagine my life any other way. Loved him ever since I was a kid watching Buffy and Firefly and just respect the shit out of this man.

[@LethalLuggage]

Make sure you take a look at The Rookie if you haven't already!

[@LethalLuggage]

@@dahhous1575 that's fair. I like that its a cop drama about the day to day rather than the glamorious murder cases. It's interesting to me to see a cop show about being a patrol officer rather than just a detective show.

[@Cliohna]

@LethalLuggage I enjoy the hell out of the Rookie. I like it more than other police procedural crime drama television series. It doesn't take itself too seriously. And although it covers the investigative procedure it focuses much more on its characters than other police shows, which I really like. And you start at the ground level, at the beginning as rookies (well 3 of the main characters) rather than have them all be detectives or higher ranks. I usually find police shows boring and shallow, to be honest, or at least no such show really stuck with me until the Rookie.

[@AbsentWithoutLeaving]

@@LethalLuggage - Most times, detectives hit the scene after the fact and piece things together to make a case. It's the patrol guys that are IN it, right as it's happening, or moments afterward when things are still in flow.

He's only 51 years old, he looks good enough to still be able to do mid 30s or early 40s Nathan Drake. Nathan in the first Uncharted game was 31 years old, and in the 4th game he is 40.

Why people so eager to have him cast as the Uncharted guy? This must be mainly because they share the same name. Was not Tom Holland playing Nathan Drake in the live action film?

[@robertparks7233]

Castle,one of the best shows ever,loved the chemistry with Stana Katic

[@Elwaves2925]

Not just them but all of them, especially the chemistry between Seamus Dever and Jon Huertas. They were just as much a part of the show as the leads.

[@scanbhoy67]

Didn,t they hate each other?

[@theplourde]

@@scanbhoy67 yeah they did and you can see it as the show goes on. My guess is it’s 50/50 that both were awful to the other. We won’t see a cast reunion anytime soon. Stana’s had not that much of a career since. Nathan’s had like two shows and multiple movies since Castle went off air.

I think they had to attend couples therapy but don't think it helped. Crew members have said Stana would cry on set during the later seasons.

[@adamgarms3727]

I was fortunate to meet Nathan once, briefly, when he accepted a sort of grassroots interview with a friend of mine who wanted to ask about Much Ado About Nothing. I got to hold the camera, super nervous, and Nathan walked up to say hi and shook my hand, and was just the nicest person. Seemingly simple gestures, but memorable ones. Love to see he's still finding success, and thanks to Michael for being such a damn fun (and real) host as well. What a great episode, thanks for this!

Firefly was the "contraband" my brother secretly provided (parents thought certain topics were unsuitable for my age). Dad found out later as he was getting ready to explain an "awkward" moment to me lol. Castle was something I would watch with my dad. I got started late on the series and only started watching after finding out Nathan was the lead. Since I got started late purchases the seasons and we would watch at least one episode every week. Didn't get to season 8 though, and was getting married before it became available to buy the dvd/Blu-ray. Some of it I am sure is denial on my part that the series ended.

[@neirwin1]

Was so fortunate to get to meet Nathan at Megacon in Orlando. He was so nice and his Q and A Panel was so much fun. I love everything he has done! This is a great interview and a great podcast! We need to nominate him for that star on the Walk of Fame!!! He has earned it for sure!! 💜💜🥰

[@grast5150]

The interview is the exact reason why I enjoy Nathan's work. As much as a fan can have an impression of the true character of a person, Nathan and I are not friends, we will never be friends, I will probably never get a chance to meet or see him while not on camera or stage. As such, my gut reaction is either Nathan is best actor on the planet or this is who he is. He appears to be a kind, joyful, and importantly aware of the great gift being actor can be. I am not disregarding the effort, skill, and fortitude it takes to become an actor. But, Nathan understands he has probably the best job on the planet. He gets to play make believe and entertain people.

Yessss, Nathan, we need the Firefly series to start up again. I stumbled across Firefly one day. It was like FINALLY, a sci-fi with the charisma of the cast of the original Star Trek. I was hooked the moment I saw Wash (Alan) playing with the dinosaurs ("and we will call it....this land.") And you are perfect as the captain. The whole cast just worked. Oh yeah. Yes. Bring back Firefly.

No, they would ruin it I want it to stay pristine like it is

I really enjoyed this episode. I love Nathan Fillion. I first saw him on 2 guys and a Girl and a pizza place. Now he’s everywhere and that makes me smile.

I'm really happy to see another great interview! Honestly, when I started listening to the podcast I didn't know you were on Smallville and I just listened to you as an interviewer and you were so great so I started to listen to some more interviews and it has became my favorite podcast. Somehow you always seem to get on the podcast exactly the actors on specific show that I watch so that has been really cool. I'm glad to see more and more actors are coming to your podcast, you definitely deserve having great guests on it. Thank you for all the hard work behind and in front of the scenes!

Look forward to this every week, and now I am even more excited about Talkville to start July 13th!!! Huge fan and love the content you guys are doing can't wait to see what the future holds! Also Nathan Fillion is the effing man!!!! Castle, Firefly, Green Lantern and on and on love that dude!

[@dfunkt2291]

Agreed. Nathan is freaking brilliant. So very many awesome roles, yeah too many to mention, but I became a big fan during Firefly and of course BTVS... Was reminded recently of the good old web series Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog too - he's just too good!

[@bassnazi4713]

As someone that wants to be an actor, I really enjoyed going more in depth on the things people often don't get as far as the pay and planning for the downtime during the good times.

[@thegoatsghost3897]

57:47 - Michael, thank you so much for being honest and vulnerable. I really respect that.

[@RemedialRob]

It's so Nathan Fillion that he came to get interviewed by Rosenbaum and gets Rosenbaum to talk more about himself than he does.

[@HulaBeulah]

I enjoyed this interview with Nathan, I learned about lots of new gadgets. I am also looking forward to talkville because like Ryan, I haven’t watched Smallville either and I reckon this’ll be pretty fun. 😃

[@Goblinmoon]

I remember Nathan's early days at cons! So different. I love how 'real' all your guests are with you Rosie! Hope to see you again at DragonCon!

[@schtoff8200]

Loved him as Cayde-6, so stoked he's back for the next expansion.

[@leoSaunders]

it's a tragedy they didn't do Nathan Drake aka Uncharted with Nathan Fillion. One of the bigger crimes in Hollywood. We only got that fan-made 10 minute thing which obviously was sublime. total immersion I love seeing him in The Rookie

[@captaincooool]

You just want to believe he's as nice as he comes acrross, he seems very genuine. Ive been a big fan ever since Firefly, and he's still my favorite Hal Jordan

[@jojoheartspaypay]

Michael was one of the greatest things to happen to Smallville, and KZbin.

[@AshleyBehr]

I absolutely love Nathan Fillion and The Rookie is one of mine and my husband's favorite shows! ❤

[@Nathanfillion-KccR]

Thanks for being a good fan of mine, your comments and likes attracted me to you and keep supporting while i bring more entertainment to your way.

[@michelleking8302]

Awww yeah! Nathan is amazing! Love the obscure projects he takes on. It was so fun to see him voice his Firefly character on Big Mouth as Missy's long teenage crush. 🤣

[@leannepritchett6323]

Wow. Did not know he was on Big Mouth. Cool.

[@landan333]

I recently became a subscriber to your podcast. You’re a natural! Truly enjoyed it, and felt as though I too was right in the room with you all. Looking forward to many more episodes… you make a podcast worth listening to.

[@dawnbevins451]

"Hunt each other for sport!" Oh, that made me laugh!

[@janicemims9799]

Grandma here. Love firefly. Binge watched a couple of times. Need to find it again
