Article contains no information about a sequel, but it's a good read if you want to know more about Nathan — the man, the myth, the god.

That was actually a really sweet article. I love knowing that he's just a regular, real, down to earth kinda guy.

That was great! Thanks for the link!

He seems like a very nice guy. Down to earth. That's very cool!

Priceless? Yeah, I thought so.

Not really a lot of content there. All that actually came from the interview was that Nathan used to be, or maybe is, a geek, while the rest revolves around who Nathan is and how the interviewer got a hold of him. I hope that one of these days our BDHs get interviewed by better interviewers that see an interview for what it should be: a vehicle for the person being interviewed, not the for the interviewer.

I enjoyed the interview if for nothing else than to know that it was Nathan. I don't care that thre wasn't a whole lot of content to the article. It's actually nice to know that he's a geek--something that I can FOR SURE identify with (though I call myself a nerd, not a geek). I wish that there were Fillions in my phone book! Haha
Well, in any case, I enjoyed the article. Thanks for posting the link.

Wacky fun!

Hopefully some day someone will ask the BDHs really interesting and investigative questions like:

- Don't the fans ever get on your nerves?
- Aren't there moments when you regret that people peg you as "the firefly guy/girl"?
- If you had the choice betwenn a dinner with 50 Browncoats or a comfy glass of wine at home, what would you chose?
- Would you attend to a great fan gathering if you had to pay the flight and everything else yourself and not getting a fee?

This would be far more interesting than this generally favorable geek interviews. At least for me, just being a fan of the show.

EDIT: I'd like to hear the answers yes|yes|wine|no because then these guys are really honest.

Honest?

#3 I dunno. I think having dinner with 50 people who think I'm an awesom dude sounds better than a glass of wine at home (long as it's not that rubber chicken). Then again, I don't like wine. But I would have to insist on a limmo. There ARE standards that must be maintained.

CBS & dc4bs,

After a while you might come to the conclusion that they don't like you, they like your character or the image that the studio wants to give about you. Staying home with friends would keep you grounded.

I wish Nathan success and I hope I see him in a FF/BDM sequel. Seems like a grounded guy.

How could he be anything other than a nice guy with a Mom like that? Nice article...thanks for the link.

That's what I want my family to say about me. "We're just glad he found something to do." Priceless.

Thanks for the link! OMG he sounds soo sweet. I love a sci-fi nut..cuz I am. It's so nice that the cast seems like a real down to earth bunch. I hate to see full of themselves celebrities, and they're anything but. I look forward to more of them..big screen or little one. Have a shiny New Year everybody!

I think he seems like a great guy he has been on the two best shows ever FireFly and Two Guys and a Girl.

OMG! I like Aliens better than Alien, and I haven't seen Schindler's List either!!!
He's a geek after my own heart.

Right there with you...loved Aliens more than Alien. Love great or crappy science fiction (you know the kind MST 3000 made fun of...which I loved!). Starting to get into comics again (been away for awhile for no particular reason).

This is a guy who would make a Tuesday night at home watching movies one hell of a blast. Love my Captain Tightpants - think I'd like Nathan even more!

Great interview - I hope his parents don't start getting bombarded with phone calls though. That would get annoying for them real quick I think. I, for one, will not do that and hope to meet him someday at a convention and am jealous of all of you have done that so far. He seems like such a great guy.

Plus he listed T'Pol as one of his favourite Trek characters. Take that Enterprise-haters!
