L.A. Times Sunday Calendar Talks with Nathan Fillion.
Cappy talks about visiting the set of "The Office," acting against a blue screen, and answers the question "Joss Whedon - madman or genius?"
The answer, of course, being "all of the above." Fillion's mother says, of him, "You're very much a comic-book nerdy guy. You look mainstream, but inside, you're a nerd."

*sigh*
Well, that did it. If I didn't already really like this man - which I do - that would have sent me over. What a mensch.
And the leading-man thing was just hi-larious - shows how they'll type you no matter what you do.
"Recently there was another American television program that took the success of an English show."
Anybody think they know which show he might mean? I know they're gonna attempt to do Life on Mars, but not out yet... (Would the Welsh version be Llife on Mars?) Pop Idol? I know it's definitely not the wretched American Coupling...
Am I being très thicky here?

Probably why he and Joss get along so well. And why they're both so damn appealing.

How funny. I was just this minute doing an essay on William Blake about whether he was a madman or genius.
Comparison? I think so!

Great... Now I am stuck with Gerard Butler (playing King Leonidas) saying that in Nathan's voice...

Why aren't there more people like him in Hollywood?

Can you be one without the other? If you don't think like everybody else they call you mad, but if you do, how can you be a genius? Actually I always claimed that most brilliant people are schizophrenic to some degree and when I just googled for that, I found:
-"Such genius has long been associated with serious mental illness, especially schizophrenia" (you better keep doing that, I don't want to be just a loony)
-"Among the geniuses themselves, schizophrenia occurred only in the artists, and manic-depressive insanity only in the scientists" (great, so now I'm the not-so-brilliant guy becoming a computer scientist when he should have been a writer.. but I guess I can pull off manic-depressive, too)
-"There are also links between schizophrenia and creativity but its sufferers' thoughts are more obscure, making it harder for the general population to relate to them." (would explain why Joss is always just said to have "cult followings")

"Llife on Mars though, isn't it" is very popular in the valleys apparently.

"What was that ? Did the primary aspis just fall off my Gorram phalanx ?"
Heh, turns out Nathan's a band geek. He just never joined the band (and 'verses collide ;).
