Bet you didn't know ... Nathan claims to be descended from Confederate Lieutenant General Jubal A. Early. Joss Whedon created a bounty hunter by the name of Jubal Early for the Firefly episode "Objects in Space."

Nathan Fillion is an actor, a Canadian, and a dreamboat. Before starring as novelist Richard Castle on Castle, he was best known for his work on the television shows Firefly, One Life to Live, and Desperate Housewives. You can also see him in films including Slither, White Noise 2, Serenity, and Saving Private Ryan.

Fillion did voiceover work for the video game Halo 3, so his fan base includes a likely uncountable number of drunk college guys. Though we have no official confirmation on this, we suspect he was always that good looking.
