I don't agree.
Fillion is OK, but I don't think he is this great actor or nothing.

Here's the author of that article's opinion.

4. Nathan Fillion: The unjustly canceled Firefly should have made Fillion a TV star. The unfortunately unsuccessful Serenity should have made him a movie star. And then, the incredibly underappreciated Slither should have made him a movie star, again. What is it about Nathan Fillion that he just can't seem to get a break? He has an undeniably likable charisma onscreen, which he can also turn on its head and suddenly become very creepy (as was the case when he played the murderous preacher Caleb on the final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer). Plus, he seems like a genuinely decent guy, which might not seem like a big deal, but to me it counts for something. There's a lot of actors I like, there's not many I'd like to go grab a beer with. Fillion falls into that category. I guess I'm getting a little off topic about his acting abilities – just go rent all of the above titles I mentioned and see if you don't find yourself wondering how this guy isn't getting more leading roles.

I'd like to 'grab a beer' with Mr T, but 'I Pity the fool' who thinks he is a great actor....I swear, these things just come to me.

I liked Nathan in Buffy. Caleb was a highlight, and I have seen him in alot of stuff. He seems competant at it, but so far he hasn't given me cause to think he is underappreciated.
If we was talking about James Marsters(not that I think he is underappreciated, I mean purely on talent of what we have seen) then yes, I would say that, but not Nathan.

Edit:

I'm so sorry for that 'I pity the fool' comment. I should know better:(

Have you been ordering those special pizza's again. I'm telling you, go easy on those extra toppings.

Speaking of Pizza. I'd a dream about Hannibal once, I woke up the next day with the most intense craving for cigar. A craving that had to be satisfied. I wonder what would happen if I had one about the 'T'. Would I need to buy a ton of gold. Maybe I'd want to be black. Who the hell knows.

Hmmmm, Pizza. I'm hungry!!!

As for T, I don't know. Maybe you'd have him in a dream before flying and...do I really need to say my thought or can you guess it.
I delved deeper then I wished with the 'Pity the Fool' thing, don't make me go lower!!!

I agree with most of what was said about him in that article. However Slither (while quite enjoyable) was a bit of a let down really. Not as good as it could have been. And how come anytime things mention Nathan Fillion they forget to mention Two Guys and a Girl? He was fantastic in that :)

Just waiting to see White Noise 2 now :)

Two Guys and a Girl is where I frist saw him and he was very good in that show. I actually quite enjoyed Slither, but then I love silly creature movies.
