Best Known For: Playing writer-cum-makeshift-detective Richard Castle

Early-life: Born Nathan Christopher Fillion in Alberta, Canada, on March 27, 1971. Fillion has an older brother called Jeff.

He eventually landed the starring role as Captain Malcolm Reynolds in Firefly (which he now says was the best acting job he's ever had). He has leant his voice to various animated series and computer games including King of the Hill and Halo 3, but his most successful role to date has been eponymous mystery novelist Castle. Other projects include Desperate Housewives, Waitress, Monsters University and Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters.
