Nathan Fillion Stars In 'Castle'

Monday, 09 March 2009

By Christina Radish

On the ABC television series Castle, wildly famous mystery novelist Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) is bored with his own success. Then he learns that a real-world copycat killer has started staging murder scenes depicted in his novels. Castle is questioned by Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), a bright and aggressive NYPD detective who keeps her investigations under tight rein. Though they instantly clash, sparks of another sort also begin to fly, leading both to danger and a hint of romance as Castle steps in to help find the killer. And, once that case is solved, he and Beckett build on their new relationship as they look to solve more strange homicides in New York.

Nathan Fillion, best known to audiences as Captain Malcolm Reynolds on the Joss Whedon television series Firefly, spoke to MediaBlvd Magazine about playing the charming, charismatic Castle.

A brief excerpt:

MediaBlvd> Can you talk about Castle’s relationship with his daughter (played by Molly Quinn) on the show?
Nathan> I was fortunate enough to be able to sit in on a lot of the auditions, for a lot of the characters on the show, and all you want is for someone to walk in, grab the room and knock the part out of the park. Stana did that. With Molly, I was very surprised. She was 14, at the time. She is so present. She connects with you. She is not shy. She’s not putting on a version of herself, or acting the way she thinks you want her to act. When you meet Molly, you’re meeting Molly. She really was exactly what we were looking for. She was phenomenal. When she walked out of the room, they were on the phone saying, “She’s got the part. Make the deal. Sign it. Go.” It was a done deal. She’s beyond her years. She’s so clever.

Castle airs Monday at 10pm on ABC. The next episode, 'Nanny McDead,' airs March 16.
