Let's not add his MySpace info

He's got some 3000 friends already, and he has only posted three blog entries, so new "friends" wouldn't get much out of the experience except spam. If someone really wants to find the info, it's there on various fansites. Zora 07:17, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

His myspace caption next to his photo currently says "Yes, it's really me. Check your Wikipedia and stop asking." Should we tell him Wikipedia's not a WP:RS? ;) -- Jeandré, 2007-01-08t19:26z

Actually his blog posts are pretty funny and you can only read them if you are a friend, so I think you would get more if you were a friend than just spam. I don't check myspace very often unless I get an email saying someone posted something, so it is worth it... --plange 22:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Kappa Alpha Society Alumnus

Could the main contributor to this page add that he was a member of the Kappa Alpha Society while attending the University of Alberta? 129.128.198.223 09:26, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Just some trivia regarding his surname/eponym: Fillion/Phillion exists as a derivative of the Greek "phila" or "philia" and exists as derivatives of Greek words that have been adopted into English, i.e., philadelphian, philanthropy, philately, Philemon, philarmonic, philhellenist, philia, Philip/Philippe, philippic, Phillis/Phyllis, phillyrea, philobiblic, philodendron, philogyny, philology, philomath, philomel/Philomela, philoneism, philopatridomania, philopolemic, philosophy, philotechnic, philozoic, and derivatives of the above. Also the fraternity Phi Beta Kappa which translates to Filosofia Biou Kubepnhths, which means a philosophical guide to life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.131.1.184 (talk) 00:17, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Drive

This line has me confused: "In October of 2006 Fillion signed a talent holding contract with the Fox Broadcasting Company; he is slated to star in a television series yet to be developed [6]."

Isn't Drive the "yet to be developed" (at that point) television series?

Eighth source

the eighth source thing leads to a message of a Drive hater on the FOX forum. Is it supposed to lead to the forums themselves, or did someone just vandelize this?

Pasadena

He's listed as being on Pasadena in 2005. Those episodes were originally produced in 2001, but didn't air until 2005, as the show only got four episodes broadcast during its initial run and he showed up in like, episode ten. I'm torn as to if the date should be changed and listed lower on his filmography. Thoughts? Dirtysocks 01:13, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

fox contract

there is a mention of fox having a talent holding contract but he is now on DH on ABC. how? did the contract end or get nullified? more info would help the confusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.67.184 (talk) 01:21, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

207.241.137.116 (talk) 22:19, 13 January 2010 (UTC)== "Best known for..." ==

Before I get mobbed, let me qualify this by saying that I'm a die-hard Firefly fan. Now, while I think everyone's favorite Browncoat is best loved (by the cool people, of course) for his role in Firefly, isn't it conceivable that he's probably better known for his roles on Desperate Housewives, Lost, or (god forbid) One Life to Live, three shows that have had a much larger audience than Firefly ever did? --Wolf530 (talk) 04:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

In principle, we should never say "best known" unless we have a source to back it up. In the absence of a central statistical database of recognition ratings, this probably means citing a reliable source that says "best known". I see that AniMate has already removed the "best" from the lead sentence, which is one reasonable solution to your valid concern. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I see that the best know for being in Firefly is back. I think that that is misleading as he has been in a lot of other things. I think it needs to be reverted back so that it doesn't say that. I myself am not a Firefly fan so I had no idea he was in it. 207.241.137.116 (talk) 22:19, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

From the Fangirl who keeps getting linked...

Hi there, my stats led me back here. I've noticed that apparently my website keeps getting linked as proof of Nathan Fillion's physical appeal to the masses. I suppose since I'm an author I should appreciate the additional traffic, but I'm not sure I want the fact that I find Nathan Fillion attractive to be newsworthy or important enough to be included here. :) Since there seems to be some dispute over whether or not it is important enough, I thought I'd just weigh in with my 2 cents, in case the link-subject's thoughts on their own relevance matter. I don't find myself particularly relevant.  ;) -Moira Rogers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.8.90.34 (talk) 07:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog has been released

Someone should update the text accordingly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.166.224.41 (talk) 19:34, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Saving Private Ryan

It is omitted from his filmography.

I added it

Mxb design (talk) 19:45, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

It has been omitted from his filmography yet again. Adding it back. --Valistar (talk) 18:26, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Slither doesn't appear in filmography

Just noticed that the film Slither does not appear in Fillion's filmography at the bottom of the article... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.154.37.217 (talk) 05:17, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
