Fillion Watch
By Sarah Carlson
July 3, 2007
Some encouraging news on the TV casting front: Nathan Fillion ("Waitress," "Firefly," "Serenity") is in talks to join the cast of "Desperate Housewives" along with Dana Delaney and Lyndsy Fonseca, who is in negotiations. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Delaney and Fillion would star as a woman and her much-younger husband who move to Wisteria Lane with their daughter (Fonseca).
Adding to Fillion to the roster could only help ABC; his cult-like status thanks to his roles on Joss Whedon's ("Buffy," "Angel") "Firefly" TV series and "Serenity" film pretty much ensures his fans will follow him where ere he goes -- even if that means (gulp) watching "Housewives." It will provide us geeks a warm-up on Sunday nights before we change the channel to Sci-Fi for "Battlestar Galacitca." Life can't get much better than that. For the uninitiated, read up on Fillion over on Pajiba.com, where he was voted by readers as the No. 1 sexiest celebrity.
If you haven't seen Fillion's latest role in the indie film "Waitress" starring Keri Russel (pictured at left with Fillion), Jeremy Sisto and Cheryl Hines, do it now. It's not perfect, but its sweet story is infectious.
