Believe everything you’ve heard about Nathan Fillion.
He’s incredibly kind, funny, talented and good-looking. He’s also quite easygoing when it comes to picking a restaurant and eager to show you photos of his cat, Spartacus.
I met Nathan for lunch on Saturday. He’s in town promoting the second season of ABC’s Castle, which premieres tonight at 10 ET. After ordering some coffee and pierogies at East Village diner Veselka, we chatted about the show, Joss Whedon, video games, Dr. Horrible — actually, we talked so much that I’m splitting this interview into two parts.
Here’s the beginning:
I’d imagine there’s some anxiety when you’re filming the first season of a TV series. Is there a different feeling on the set of Castle now that you’ve been renewed and have fan support?
Nathan Fillion stars in ‘Castle,’ which premieres its second season tonight.
CAPTIONWhit’s iPhoneYou know, the first season was a very interesting experience, because we filmed 13 episodes and then packed everything up and said, “OK, everybody, great season,” and went our separate ways. And then it started to air. It had this wonderful feeling of, “It’s out of our hands,” so it was actually quite freeing. And I’ve learned … I’ve had a long line of failed television programs, pilots that were never picked up, series that didn’t go very long. I’ve learned that there’s really nothing you can do. If it’s not in my control, I try not to worry about it.Getting a second season, though, that was a pleasant surprise. I thought, “This is great, we get to go back and take a crack at it again.” I started to run into people who are fans of the show saying great things about it. Obviously, Andrew Marlowe, our creator, is playing some notes that people want to hear. It’s a good feeling.
Dr. Horrible was back and on the big stage at last night’s Primetime Emmy Awards. Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion tell the world why what you’re doing now (the net, not specifically BSC–that’s next year, though perhaps there were undertones) is taking over the world!

As it Say’s I’m moving house tomorrow and the bad news is my net will be off at the new house for about 3-5 weeks (dame BT for moving so slow with these things) The little bit of good news is that my dad’s shop is only down the road and i can use the net there but only for like a hour or two each day so i will keep the site going and what not but there will not be as many update’s till i get the net back in the house.
I’ve just added into the gallery a totle of 005 new stills for the upcoming Castle 2×02 The Double Down. Enjoy!
