Glad Nathan fillion survived Covid and nitrogen narcosis. Used to teach scuba diving with rebreathers for army kill teams in Vietnam. But I was never in the army and I was never there.
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.
@@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.
@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.
@@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.
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
@@bridgethaines7127 That’s Hollywood. Morals kinda go out the window when someone wants work. It’s a shame. Definitely gotta sell your soul in Hollywood to get consistent work.
@@bridgethaines7127 Whedon is quirky but he was no Weinstein. I don’t know what to believe anymore since women have made #MeToo an industry quick-rich scheme.
Had the pleasure of meeting Nathan Fillion once in Toronto, he was super nice even though he was jet lagged and a bit under the weather. Hands down the nicest guy, so down to earth and pleasant. Lives up to the good Canadian stereotypes and makes me feel proud to be a fellow Canuck!
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 🤣🤣😂
Every time I see Nathan Fillion online or on TV it always gives me a good vibes feeling. This man is "Good Television", I've enjoyed all of his TV/film work that I've seen starting with Firefly.
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?
@Anthony 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 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!
Thank you Nathan! I so appreciate your upbeat, easy to listen to interviews. As a Canadian mother, myself, I know your mother would be proud. Thankful I can always be assured of a clean, F-bomb free interview. It means a lot to not have to cringe all the way through.
I was an extra in Michael Rosenbaum's movie. Rosenbaum was so kind, professional and absolutely hilarious. He's a great guy and I wish him continued success and many blessings!
I remember my love of him on Two Guys and Girl, playing Johnny. To then bringing us the ever brilliant Malcolm Reynolds. Forever hating Fox execs for that one.. what a wonderful character. Thank you, Fillion, for that character! Thanks for a wonderful Rosey Tuesday, Rosey. The best part of our weeks. ♥️
I love how dedicated he is to the sci-fi community... his series are populated with actors from different franchises... a Star Trek Klingon as a therapist on Castle, an amnesiac from Dark Matter on The Rookie... should've talked more about that and how actors from his own series keep popping up.
Best line ever in an interview, "If your not married in ten years, and I'm not married in ten years, let's make a promise to hunt each other for sport." lol
How has Nathan Fillion not become a "A lister" by now? This guy is so incredibly likeable. The entire Audience loves this guy. He needs his Die Hard moment. Lol.😅
Thinking another Die Hard film with Nathan Fillion taking over the John McClain role might be in order. Or maybe a revival of Matt Helm, originally portrayed by Dean Martin.
Nathan was cemented as one of my favorite actors when he voiced Cayde-6 in Destiny and Destiny 2. Absolutely love Castle and his new show The Rookie. He just seems like a chill dude that you would grill and drink with.
I LOVE Nathan Fillion! So glad you had him back on the podcast!! 💜 such a great podcast, love hearing your conversations, you two are great together! TDK needs to come back !! Yes!
I've been a huge fan of Nathan Fillion since Firefly and loved Castle. The Rookie is my favorite show right now and it's good to see him super active, really cool guy. I'm also looking forward to Talkville with Tom, it's going to be good.
I really want this interview to be fully animated, where Nathan is like a happy puppy on the couch and Michael is a cat that's like doing its nails. Because if ever there were two people better suited to distinguish the cat/dog personality tropes as people? This interview right here! 😂
This is a great interview! I love Nathan Fillion! I will watch him in anything! The Rookie is such a great show and I'm glad that he is having a great time working on it!
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.
Love how the firefly cast are so tight still. Glad he mentioned Ron. It was so sad that we lost him. A reboot wouldnt be the same without him. Or recast of him.
From someone who is currently rewatching Smallville from start to finish - this is super exciting to hear! Count me in! I have to say, I am so happy to see that you and your cast mates have retained a good / close friendship after all these years as well. So excited - now I have 2 shows to watch. ❤️
Nathan and the Firefly crew were the best ever. I am a 68 year old and have watched and rewatched Firefly and Serenity many times...if only it would come back for say another 12 seasons.
I listened to the last interview with Nathan (too) because he seems like a genuinely nice guy and my dad really likes him on Castle and the Rookie. I also like his voice a lot; very relaxing, your's too, Michael. You guys are both amazing and don't look AT ALL to be/near the age of 50. I love that Nathan seems so comfortable with his life and has awesome plans for the future. He just had a lot of great things to say and insight on what he's been through. I really enjoyed this conversation (and will have to share some of it with my dad...maybe he'd like to see him in Firefly one day too ;))
I found your Podcast yesterday, purely by chance. I'm so glad this happy accident happened. I have been dying to write a comment. After watching more than a few interviews, I can tell you for certain, that it's you!!! that im watching, not the person you're interviewing. It took me about 15 seconds before I recognized you. I was surprised, but delighted. I thought, " This is gonna be good", and you did not disappoint. You have a personality that makes people want to speak to you. You put your guests at ease, but that's not your greatest asset. Your greatest asset by far is that, your audience feels at ease. I could seriously go on, but I won't. I think you probably heard my comments 1000 times over. What I truly want to relay is that, you're gifted!!!stick with it!! Pretty Please.
Yay!!!! Love Nathan Fillion and I loved the last time you had him on the podcast. Can’t wait to hear what stories he will share this time. Thank you so much for getting him back on the podcast Michael. Hope you are having a blast in Australia and having an amazing week. Thank you so much for everything that you do ❤️ Happy Tuesday 💙
nathan is so cool... i love his attitude about the job. i feel the same way, i've been in my chosen career (animation/story artist) for 34 years and i love the phrase 'do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life'... i met nathan once at a sushi bar, this was after firefly (which i had just recently discovered late on dvd) but before his larger success... around the time when he had a few dud projects before castle. he couldn't have been nicer, he was curious how i even knew who he was since firefly hadn't been a huge hit... 'firefly, of course' was my answer. 'ah! a true fan then!' was his response.
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.
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.
A great conversation with one of my all-time favourite actors, who has been in several of my favourite projects over the years (especially currently with The Rookie, arguably the best show on Network TV). Aside from that, he seems like a genuinely great guy.
I wish Michael would’ve touched on the Uncharted Fan Film he did. That was how you do a video game adaptation. Wish Allan Unger and Nathan got an opportunity to explore more of that. As always love the podcast and keep up the fantastic work.
I always love how wholesome and honest your interviews or rather, conversations are with all these people. Its nice seeing them for who they are, not for the characters they play.
Almost 10 years ago a buddy of mine recommended a TV series to me and it was Chuck, loved it... till this day my favorite TV show ever, but I ended up watching other stuff Adam Baldwin was in and watched Firefly and then other stuff Nathan Fillion was in and watched Castle and now The rookie
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!! 💜💜🥰
Can anyone think of a more likable Actor? Apparently he's like that in real life. Who knows... Allen is that way. Probably why Firefly is a cult classic. Then again that entire cast was extremely likable.
49:34 literally why i love him. went from watching castle, mid way through that to watching firefly then pack to castle then rookie now! my favourite actor hands done
Sacrifice? Look, I'm not going to say actors are lazy, but people everywhere work 60-70 hours a week just to earn 30-40k/year. Let's not get out of control about how actors are "giving up their lives."
You have no idea how hard actors work. Stop being jealous of people who succeed . There's a reason they make big money. Anyone can do the 30-40k job it's why it doesn't pay much.
I first fell in love with him in 2 Guys & A Girl. My bedroom has been nicknamed “the shrine” by my daughter because it’s filled with stuff from his career. This was a great show! Loved it! Thank you.
From the first episode of the Rookie I immediately thought "I like this guy" so I binge watched it and now I'm hooked. So, yes, I did go back and watch other things Nathan was in. I am now binge watching Castle. Love it. Those shows are why I am watching this video. So thanks Rosenbaum for having him on your show.
This week’s episode is delightful. Nathan definitely opens up and he has so many great stories. I feel the same way about reading. It is important to savor a book. He is so positive.
Nathan Fillion is one of those actors I would watch almost anything he's in, I've always meant to watch Castle and the Rookie, this podcast may have reminded me to do that. He was great in Firefly/Serenity, Cayde-6, and so many others... I enjoyed him as Captain Hammer, too
What an incredible Birthday gift! ❤️❤️❤️Nathan and the conversations the two of you have. Always a treat! Thank you Rosey 🙏🏻. Hope you are having a great time Down Under and remembering to breathe, You got this. Happiest week everyone 😊💙
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!
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.
always a pleasure to spend time with Nathan Fillion. Not that I've ever had the pleasure to meet him in person, but maybe some day! He seems like a real cool guy.
Captain Canada himself! Nathan Fillion is wonderful, he just makes you feel good. This is a great interview, I hadn't seen this before but I'll check more episodes now.
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. 😃
I'm still around! I watch each week, each great guest, and hit like every time! You are a great podcaster! I'm here to watch you, your guest are an extra special bonus treat, the cherry on top! Always entertaining! 🍨
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!
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!
I adore the voice acting and scripts for Cayde in Destiny 2 game! Tell the studio to go do a pre story season on stuff that happened before Beyond light.
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
I hadn't realized that you had a podcast. Michael, your portrayal of Lex Luthor is perhaps my favorite, if second only to the great Gene Hackman. Although I feel that the characters were written so differently between the movies and the show, that they can be enjoyed very differently. I'm so glad I found this episode in particular to view as my first. Nathan Fillion is one of my favorite actors to watch. I have been following him since he was on Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place.
Terrific, terrific interview. These never disappoint. You have found an amazing groove with this show, Michael. Look forward to catching more and more. Would have loved if you mentioned Wonder Man getting a go ahead at D+, just to see how Nathan would have reacted.
I remember - it must have been around maybe 2003 ? I was working in Las Vegas during the week - living at Railroad Pass Hotel & then driving home to my N.Az home in the middle of nowhere on the weekend. One morning ,around 4 or 5 am ,driving down the "Hill" into the Vegas "Pit". I always listened to NPR & there was a story about a Sci Fi series that was short ,had been canceled & just had come out on a DVD set. It was fascinating - Firefly ? I couldn't believe I had NEVER heard of it. Immediately went out & bought it. I'm sure I must have blown through it that very weekend. I was Amazed by it. One of THE best series ever. Could not believe the way it was treated & dismissed. I can only guess - someone ,somewhere Really had it out for Whedon & it all sounds like vengeance or retribution. That show should have been on at Least 4-5 years ,if not more. Very sad. Every time I re-watch it I Yearn for more episodes. So Good !
Nathan Fillion as Malcolm Reynolds is probably one of my favorite performances of all time. God, I miss Firefly!
#browncoatsunite
Firefly!
Stay shiny and keep firefly from the evil clutches of the rat of Disney
Can’t stop the signal
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.
"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.
Farscape forever.
Michael Rosenbaum?
Glad Nathan fillion survived Covid and nitrogen narcosis. Used to teach scuba diving with rebreathers for army kill teams in Vietnam. But I was never in the army and I was never there.
Firefly forever. Castle forever. Rookie forever.
Ah ha lex Luther. Guardians of the galaxy volume iii
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.
Make sure you take a look at The Rookie if you haven't already!

Except for his whole willingness to overlook Whedon's despicable conduct towards women he worked with, including on Buffy which Nathan was ALSO on.
You expect him to lie and say he saw something he didn't?

Firefly, Castle, Rookie... All A+ shows. But I'm dying to see him as an older Nathan Drake in the next Uncharted!
Also Two Guys & A Girl, brief stints on Buffy and Santa Clarita Diet, as well as a brilliant turn in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.
@@SilentBob731 I rewatched "Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place," about 6 months ago, such a great show, still funny.
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?
@@TAURON85 Nothing to do with his name, everything to do with his great personality and the fact that he kinda looks like Nathan Drake
Castle,one of the best shows ever,loved the chemistry with Stana Katic
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.
@Anthony 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.
@@theplourde she was a lead for 3 seasons on an Amazon series right after Castle and just had a kid.
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.
@@jasminemagee410 no true

That's because he's Canadian!
Nathan really deserves a lead role in a feature film. It's difficult to fathom how this has not happened.
2007’s “Slither” had him as lead.
Serenity (2005) also had him as lead
@@skyfall744 Lets be real, serenity wasnt a feature film. It was a made for tv movie.

Yes!!!!! Please!!!!!
Please get Brendan. He’s been an underdog who deserves a better hand.
@@mongothedestroyer88 I agree 👍💯%. Nathan Fillian bores me 🥱. I couldn't get past the 5:00 minute mark without getting bored and exiting this video.
@@eddymontero6658 I can't tell if you're being funny or not since Fillion isn't shown until @6:00 or so

Let’s all make sure we support the heck out of Talkville! Michael and Tom rewatching every episode of Smallville each week! July 15th!!!
Lots of material. Four years, two months, and one week's worth of episodes if they release podcasts weekly.
Still miss Castle! I have the complete DVD series. Will Binge this after the Mentalist Binge!!!
Hello dear 👋
Cayde-6 Was what made Destiny 1-2 so much fun for me. Nathan is such a great actor and his humor is right up my alley.
right really missing my hunter vanguard R.I.P. Cayde-6 fave line "Eris get your rock off my map!"
My favorite line of Cayde's is from Destiny 1 where if you hang around and do nothing he'll whisper "take me with you!"
Cayde never gets enough love in these Interviews with Nathan Fillion. One of the best voiced characters in a video game. IMO.
Cayde is an exo. They can bring him back as Cayde 7. Ikora Rey is alone now. She needs her fireteam. She needs Cayde. We need Cayde.
well looky here ;)
I remember my love of him on Two Guys and Girl, playing Johnny. To then bringing us the ever brilliant Malcolm Reynolds. Forever hating Fox execs for that one.. what a wonderful character. Thank you, Fillion, for that character! Thanks for a wonderful Rosey Tuesday, Rosey. The best part of our weeks. ♥️

Nathan understanding and acknowledging that his experiences on-set are different from most other people's experiences is so refreshing.

Everybody's mom likes this guy to. It's everybody 'and' everybody's mom. That's who likes him.
*Ryan Reynolds. That's why.*
He’s done well for himself, and not everyone likes him. Pretty sure he bullied his last couple star in castle
@@qs4177 *It was reported Fillion and Katic didn't get along but I didn't see anything about him bullying her.* Where did you read that?

Mad props to the producer, whether they're close to the mic or not, talk loudly or not, the sound is the best I've ever heard on a podcast.
As someone from Metropolis.. You are always so nice, lovely and gracious with your time. It was a joy to meet you!! Hope you come again next year!!
Love how the firefly cast are so tight still. Glad he mentioned Ron. It was so sad that we lost him. A reboot wouldnt be the same without him. Or recast of him.
Wholeheartedly agree!

I have to say, I am so happy to see that you and your cast mates have retained a good / close friendship after all these years as well. So excited - now I have 2 shows to watch. ❤️

I really enjoyed this conversation (and will have to share some of it with my dad...maybe he'd like to see him in Firefly one day too ;))
I found your Podcast yesterday, purely by chance. I'm so glad this happy accident happened. I have been dying to write a comment.
After watching more than a few interviews, I can tell you for certain, that it's you!!! that im watching, not the person you're interviewing.
It took me about 15 seconds before I recognized you. I was surprised, but delighted. I thought, " This is gonna be good", and you did not disappoint.
You have a personality that makes people want to speak to you. You put your guests at ease, but that's not your greatest asset. Your greatest asset by far is that, your audience feels at ease.
I could seriously go on, but I won't. I think you probably heard my comments 1000 times over. What I truly want to relay is that, you're gifted!!!stick with it!!
Pretty Please.
Yay!!!! Love Nathan Fillion and I loved the last time you had him on the podcast. Can’t wait to hear what stories he will share this time. Thank you so much for getting him back on the podcast Michael. Hope you are having a blast in Australia and having an amazing week. Thank you so much for everything that you do ❤️ Happy Tuesday 💙
57:47 - Michael, thank you so much for being honest and vulnerable. I really respect that.
I love listening to these guys. Michael always sounds like he is 1000 going on 50 thinking he is 30
Well said. It's refreshing.
nathan is so cool... i love his attitude about the job. i feel the same way, i've been in my chosen career (animation/story artist) for 34 years and i love the phrase 'do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life'... i met nathan once at a sushi bar, this was after firefly (which i had just recently discovered late on dvd) but before his larger success... around the time when he had a few dud projects before castle. he couldn't have been nicer, he was curious how i even knew who he was since firefly hadn't been a huge hit... 'firefly, of course' was my answer. 'ah! a true fan then!' was his response.
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.
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.
What I love, is when a youngin at work will notice my artful nod to Serenity on my apron and get excited. Browncoats of all ages, still!! Love it! ❤
I am excited to see him on the podcast again. Inside of you Tuesday is the best day of the week.
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.
A great conversation with one of my all-time favourite actors, who has been in several of my favourite projects over the years (especially currently with The Rookie, arguably the best show on Network TV). Aside from that, he seems like a genuinely great guy.

I feel like I just won the lottery!! A Smallville rewatch with you two!! Tears of excitement! I can't wait!!!
i think when i heard this..i kinda wanted to pee..lol
I wish Michael would’ve touched on the Uncharted Fan Film he did. That was how you do a video game adaptation. Wish Allan Unger and Nathan got an opportunity to explore more of that. As always love the podcast and keep up the fantastic work.
Awesome fan movie.. kinda blew my mind how good it was.
💯 agree
Hello dear 👋
I always love how wholesome and honest your interviews or rather, conversations are with all these people. Its nice seeing them for who they are, not for the characters they play.

So psyched for Talkville. Was hoping you and Tom would somehow find your way to doing an Office Ladies-esque rewatch podcast for Smallville.
They could call it Smalltalk
@@ryanlovelock3024 That's what it should've been called. Total missed opportunity.
Pretty sure Smalltalk would run into copyright issues
Greetings fellow Office Ladies fan!
@@ryanlovelock3024 I'm pretty sure they said there was already a podcast with that name.
Loved Nathan in the film "Waitress." Great that he's back on the podcast! 👍😃
Almost 10 years ago a buddy of mine recommended a TV series to me and it was Chuck, loved it... till this day my favorite TV show ever, but I ended up watching other stuff Adam Baldwin was in and watched Firefly and then other stuff Nathan Fillion was in and watched Castle and now The rookie
You should check out buffy vampire slayer
Yes, Chuck ❤
That "If you do say so yourself" at 42:30 and the look he gave as Micahel just...didn't react at all---had me in stitches. xDD I love Nathan so much.
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!! 💜💜🥰
Can anyone think of a more likable Actor? Apparently he's like that in real life. Who knows... Allen is that way. Probably why Firefly is a cult classic. Then again that entire cast was extremely likable.

I love hearing Nathan speak he is so chill and down to earth
oh my, what a pleasure. How I love everything Nathan related ❤️❤️❤️
That was a fabulous interview! I will NEVER get sick of listening to Nathan Fillion!!! I love his candidness and kindness :)
"There's not much [bullshit] people will do in front of... Me." This says a lot about Nathan's character. Quiet power is often the most heard.
My favorite podcast Michael always makes the guests feel welcome and comfortable.
I love the Rookie! Slither was my first introduction to Nathan. He’s in my top 3 people I would love to meet
Now I love Nathan Fillion, knowing he can handle this. He has wisdom.
The first show I ever saw Nathan on was a short-lived series called Drive and everything he's been on has been incredible!
49:34 literally why i love him. went from watching castle, mid way through that to watching firefly then pack to castle then rookie now! my favourite actor hands done
Sacrifice? Look, I'm not going to say actors are lazy, but people everywhere work 60-70 hours a week just to earn 30-40k/year. Let's not get out of control about how actors are "giving up their lives."
Hello dear 👋
You have no idea how hard actors work. Stop being jealous of people who succeed . There's a reason they make big money. Anyone can do the 30-40k job it's why it doesn't pay much.
Most actors make way less than 40k. And have side jobs to survive
Clearly you have no idea how acting in a show or movie or production works 🫣
The wholesomeness of this is overwhelming.
I first fell in love with him in 2 Guys & A Girl. My bedroom has been nicknamed “the shrine” by my daughter because it’s filled with stuff from his career. This was a great show! Loved it! Thank you.

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

Awesome interview- as usual .. Have been watching Nathan since he was a kid on One life to live...love him..❤️
From the first episode of the Rookie I immediately thought "I like this guy" so I binge watched it and now I'm hooked. So, yes, I did go back and watch other things Nathan was in. I am now binge watching Castle. Love it. Those shows are why I am watching this video. So thanks Rosenbaum for having him on your show.
This week’s episode is delightful. Nathan definitely opens up and he has so many great stories. I feel the same way about reading. It is important to savor a book. He is so positive.
I adore Nathan Fillion and the work he has done.
Yes, yes and yaas, more FIREFLY! NathAn has the best energy and i laughed a lot during this one. Please Joss Weadon, do more with this cast!
It's Hollywood that doesn't want to do anything with Joss
@@jamessolomon3467 probably not with Adam as well....interesting he wasn't mentioned at all here...
Nathan Fillion is one of those actors I would watch almost anything he's in, I've always meant to watch Castle and the Rookie, this podcast may have reminded me to do that.
He was great in Firefly/Serenity, Cayde-6, and so many others... I enjoyed him as Captain Hammer, too
What an incredible Birthday gift! ❤️❤️❤️Nathan and the conversations the two of you have. Always a treat! Thank you Rosey 🙏🏻. Hope you are having a great time Down Under and remembering to breathe, You got this. Happiest week everyone 😊💙
Happy Birthday 🥳🎉🎉🎉
Happy Birthday🤗
Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊
happy birthday!
Love this! Thank you! Still my top favorite shows: Smallville, Castle, Chuck, Elementary,& Goldbergs. I could watch these for the rest of my life.
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!
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.
Castle was one of my favorite series.
“I’d put *my* mom behind the wheel, I tell ya that right now.” -I LOL’d so hard
always a pleasure to spend time with Nathan Fillion. Not that I've ever had the pleasure to meet him in person, but maybe some day! He seems like a real cool guy.
Captain Canada himself! Nathan Fillion is wonderful, he just makes you feel good. This is a great interview, I hadn't seen this before but I'll check more episodes now.
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. 😃
Grandma here. Love firefly. Binge watched a couple of times. Need to find it again
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.
I'm still around! I watch each week, each great guest, and hit like every time! You are a great podcaster! I'm here to watch you, your guest are an extra special bonus treat, the cherry on top! Always entertaining! 🍨
Nathan Fillion is a classic leading man, knows much, well spoken, damn fine looking, and quick as a whip. Hollywood gold.
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!
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!
RIP Cayde-6. Love Nathan and all his work!
I adore the voice acting and scripts for Cayde in Destiny 2 game! Tell the studio to go do a pre story season on stuff that happened before Beyond light.
THIS TOWN WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF NATHAN
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
GREAT IDEA...i would love to relive all those years,...it made me so happy!
I hadn't realized that you had a podcast. Michael, your portrayal of Lex Luthor is perhaps my favorite, if second only to the great Gene Hackman. Although I feel that the characters were written so differently between the movies and the show, that they can be enjoyed very differently. I'm so glad I found this episode in particular to view as my first. Nathan Fillion is one of my favorite actors to watch. I have been following him since he was on Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place.
He's also the best portrayal of The Flash as well!
I just started the Rookie and he's amazing in it love this podcast
Terrific, terrific interview. These never disappoint. You have found an amazing groove with this show, Michael. Look forward to catching more and more. Would have loved if you mentioned Wonder Man getting a go ahead at D+, just to see how Nathan would have reacted.
I remember - it must have been around maybe 2003 ? I was working in Las Vegas during the week - living at Railroad Pass Hotel & then driving home to my N.Az home in the middle of nowhere on the weekend. One morning ,around 4 or 5 am ,driving down the "Hill" into the Vegas "Pit". I always listened to NPR & there was a story about a Sci Fi series that was short ,had been canceled & just had come out on a DVD set. It was fascinating - Firefly ? I couldn't believe I had NEVER heard of it. Immediately went out & bought it. I'm sure I must have blown through it that very weekend. I was Amazed by it. One of THE best series ever. Could not believe the way it was treated & dismissed. I can only guess - someone ,somewhere Really had it out for Whedon & it all sounds like vengeance or retribution. That show should have been on at Least 4-5 years ,if not more.
Very sad. Every time I re-watch it I Yearn for more episodes. So Good !
