16 TV Stars Who Bounced Back After Their Shows Were Cancelled (PHOTOS)

Nathan Fillion headlined a lot of failed TV shows before finding commercial success with Castle. Cult TV fans remember him best as the kind but rebellious Captain Mal Reynolds in FOX's 2002 sci-fi western Firefly. And hardcore TV addicts might recall him from FOX's shorter-lived 2007 series Drive, in which Nathan played Alex Tully, one of the competitors in a mysterious road race. After only four episodes, Drive crashed and burned.
